Harvesting the full Federal Aviation power of safety data Administration

Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing (ASIAS)

Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST)

Presented to: Global Runway Safety Symposium By: Jay Pardee, CSTA Date: May 24, 2011 What is ASIAS…. A collaborative Government and Industry initiative on data sharing & analysis to proactively discover safety concerns before accidents or incidents occur, leading to timely mitigation and prevention.

2 ASIAS Functional Benefits With ASIAS, the aviation community will be able to . . . • Identify Systemic Risks – Establish safety baselines of current operations – Identify known and newly emerging system vulnerabilities – Monitor safety trends • Evaluate Identified Risks – Estimate their probabilities – Assess their severities – Uncover event precursors – Diagnose event causation • Formulate Mitigations – Assess the probable effects of various safety enhancements through simulation studies • Monitor Mitigation Effects – Assess the effectiveness of SEs in accordance with metrics established by the CAST ASIAS is Governed by Formal Principles

Data used solely for Non-punitive reporting advancement of safety
