Which RAM regulation covers RAM Safety Program?

• A. AFPD 91-1
• B. AFI 91-105
• C. AFI 91-108 (RAM Safety Program)
• D. AFI 52-1

Answer: (C)

RAM stands for Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and the RAM Safety Program is the set of activities that ensure system performance targets are met without compromising safety. The regulation that directly governs this program is AFI 91-108, which explicitly provides the responsibilities, requirements, and procedures for planning, implementing, and sustaining RAM analyses, life-cycle management, and safety integration. It covers how RAM considerations are addressed during design, development, testing, and operations, and how RAM program plans and results are documented. Other regulations address broader mishap prevention or general safety areas, but they do not specifically govern the RAM Safety Program, so AFI 91-108 is the authoritative source for this program.
