InFO 25007: Integration of Web-based Operations Safety System (WebOPSS) and Operations Approval Portal System (OAPS) into Safety Assurance System (SAS).
In Brief
What It Addresses
This InFO informs stakeholders that WebOPSS and OAPS have been integrated into the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) SAS. SAS Operations Safety System (OPSS) and SAS Operations Approval (OA) will replace WebOPSS and OAPS platforms.
Why It Matters
In March 2025, WebOPSS and OAPS were activated in SAS for selected FAA test sites and stakeholders. A phased rollout for remaining stakeholders and FAA offices occurred May 2025 through July 9, 2025.
Recommended Action
Current WebOPPS users and those that wish to create a new account should familiarize themselves with the information contained in this InFO.

http://www.faa.gov/other_visit/aviation_industry/airline_operators/airline_safety/info/all_infos____________ An InFO contains valuable information for operators that should help them meet certain administrative, regulatory, or operational requirements, with relatively low urgency or impact on safety. This is a guidance document. Its content is not legally binding in its own right and will not be relied upon by the Department as a separate basis for affirmative enforcement action or other administrative penalty.

Subject: Integration of Web-based Operations Safety System (WebOPSS) and Operations Approval Portal System (OAPS) into Safety Assurance System (SAS).
Purpose: This InFO informs stakeholders that WebOPSS and OAPS have been integrated into the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) SAS. SAS Operations Safety System (OPSS) and SAS Operations Approval (OA) will replace WebOPSS and OAPS platforms.
Background: In March 2025, WebOPSS and OAPS were activated in SAS for selected FAA test sites and stakeholders. A phased rollout for remaining stakeholders and FAA offices occurred May 2025 through July 9, 2025. OPSS and OA are now operational in SAS for all stakeholders and FAA offices.
Discussion: The integration of WebOPPS and OAPS into SAS did not contain major changes. However, integration streamlined processes, offers quicker processing times and will not require digital signature fees. This InFO uses singular terms for clarity:
Operations Specifications (OpSpecs) is used to refer collectively to all authorizing documents, including OpSpecs, Management Specifications (MSpecs), Training Specifications (TSpecs), and Letter of Authorization (LOA).
“OAPS and OA” denotes the operations approval system.
“WebOPSS and OPSS” refers to the authorizing documents system.
Until October 2025, existing applications in OAPS will continue to be processed as usual, while new applications will utilize the SAS OA. Existing OpSpecs were created in SAS OPSS by transferring data from WebOPSS. After the data migration, WebOPSS was set to read-only mode until 7/31/2025 for all FAA users, allowing them to verify the data transferred to SAS OPSS.
a. New WebOPSS Users. Registration for the SAS external portal to access SAS OPSS is optional. New users should register to access SAS via the SAS external portal at Safety Assurance System (SAS) - External Portal Sign in.
