The Aviation Safety Knowledge Management Environment (ASKME) is a suite of information technology tools designed to support and enable the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Aircraft Certification Service (AIR) to more efficiently certify new aircraft and modifications to existing aircraft. The program was established to provide a comprehensive automation environment for critical safety business processes for the Office of Aviation Safety through deployment of 18 integrated business solutions (18 projects) between fiscal year 2008 and fiscal year 2017. Segment 1 covers fiscal years FY08-FY12 and Segment 2 covers fiscal years FY13-FY17. ASKME, Segment 2, obtained its baseline decision on September 21, 2011 from the FAA Joint Resources Council.

The environment created by integration of ASKME projects will provide electronic storage and retrieval of FAA technical documentation, and lessons learned from previous certifications that involved aircraft design and manufacturing safety issues, so that they can be accessed and shared more easily. ASKME will provide a comprehensive automated system and electronic tools for capturing key safety related data resulting from its standard business activities for rulemaking and policy development, airworthiness directives, design certification, production/ manufacturing certification and airworthiness certification to help approve operating certificates, design or modification of aircraft and meet aircraft safety conditions; designee management, evaluation and audit, external inquiries, enforcement, continued operational safety management, and international coordination.
