GAIN Products (continued)

Aviation Safety Analysis Tools in Action

Aviation Safety Analysis Tools in Action. 4 pages. [PDF 180K]

This brochure describes how two airlines have sucessfully introduced new analytical tools in their flight safety management activities and thereby increased their capabilities and information. GAIN hopes that this will encourage other airlines to consider the use of a wider range of analytical capabilities in their own safety practices. September 2004.

Global Information Sharing Systems

Safety Event Descriptor Codes International Standards Development. 4 pages. [PDF 216K]

GAIN Working Group C used this document in beginning to harmonize the event descriptor environment used by safety event management systems to facilitate information sharing within the international airline community. September 2004.

Lessons Learned and Corrective Actions Sharing Systems For the Aviation Safety Community — Concept of Operations. 28 pages. [PDF 516K]

In this report GAIN Working Group C identified several functional and operational requirements that would be applicable to an aviation safety lessons-learned and corrective action system (LL/CAS). Also, a Web-based application was developed and entitled “Requirements for a Prototype System for Sharing Safety Lessons Learned and Corrective Actions within the Aviation Community.” This proposed Concept of Operations (CONOPS) document, derived from the information gathered during these tasks, serves as a basis for a functional requirements document. September 2004.

Machine Translation for Safety Information Sharing Systems. 8 pages. [PDF 638K]

Documenting the capabilities of language translation tools that could be used by flight safety officers to share data in many languages. This document presents a summary of the survey findings, cost analysis, and conclusions of GAIN Working Group C. September 2004.

Guide to Automated Airline Safety Information Sharing Systems. 54 pages. [PDF 287K]

This report encourages airlines to share aviation safety information. June 2003.

Flight Ops/ATC Ops Safety Information Sharing

A Roadmap to a Just Culture: Enhancing the Safety Environment. 57 pages. [PDF 569K]

Plan d’action en vue d’une culture équitable: Améliorer l’environnement de sécurité. 60 pages. [PDF 895K]

Developed by the GAIN Working Group E on Flight Ops/ATC Ops Safety Information Sharing, this report is intended as an overview of how aviation organizations can promote improvements in the level and quality of reporting of safety information. In aviation organizations, it is front line employees such as air traffic controllers, pilots, flight crew, maintenance personnel, and others who can provide key information about aviation safety problems and potential solutions.

In order for these workers to come forward and report errors or mistakes, an organizational climate conducive to such reporting must exist — a Just Culture. This report includes a discussion of theories and principles of a Just Culture; information regarding the benefits of a Just Culture; the changes that may occur in an organization implementing a Just Culture; some necessary steps to create a Just Culture; possible obstacles to implementation; and, four case studies that present real-world examples of organizations that were beginning the process of creating a Just Culture (Navair; New Zealand CAA; United Kingdom CAA; and Alaska Airlines). September 2004.

Evaluating the Benefits of a Pilot/Controller Collaboration Initiative. 26 pages. [PDF 544K]

This report by GAIN Working Group E, Flight Ops/ATC Ops Safety Information Sharing, is an estimation of benefits of a pilot/controller collaboration effort conducted at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport (KCLT). Because of the limited resources available for this analysis, only a small sample of data was analyzed, so the numeric values are conservative estimates. However, the report shows the benefits of pilot/controller collaborations are real and are considerable. September 2004.

The Other End of the Radio: Identifying and Overcoming Common Pilot/Controller Misconceptions. 48 page. [PDF 216K]

GAIN Working Group E on Flight Ops/ATC Ops Safety Information Sharing created this report to highlight the safety and operational benefits of increased pilot/controller collaboration and understanding. It includes a discussion of common misconceptions between pilots and controllers, a comparison of education and training processes for pilots and controllers, suggestions on incorporating pilot/controller collaboration in training and education, and recommendations for institutionalizing enhanced pilot/controller collaboration. September 2004.

Pilot/Controller Collaboration Initiatives: Enhancing Safety and Efficiency. 98 pages. [PDF 1.2M]

An earlier overview report by GAIN Working Group E on how pilots and controllers were collaborating to improve safety and operations. June 2003.

Government Support Team (GST)

Major Current or Planned Government Aviation Safety Information Collection Programs. 60 pages. [PDF 466K]

This 2004 report contains 38 fact sheets submitted by GST members that provides a description of their major collection and sharing programs.
