In a manner similar to Airworthiness Directives and Service Bulletins that are issued for aircraft certificated in other categories, Flight Design issues Safety Directives (also known as Notices). These are notifications of corrective actions determined by Flight Design in response to a reported safety of flight or service difficulty issue.

The content and format is determined by applicable Federal Aviation Regulations as well as ASTM standards for "Notice of Corrective Action" and "Operational Risk Assessment Procedure".

There are three types of Safety Directive:

"Notification" for notifications that do not necessarily recommend future action but are primarily for promulgation of continued airworthiness information.

"Service Bulletin" for notifications that do not require immediate action but do recommend future action.

"Safety Alert" for notifications that require immediate action.

Note: Flight Design does not use notices of corrective action (Safety Directives) to promote or make mandatory non-safety of flight related equipment upgrades or additions.
