Continuous Improvement of
Global Aviation Safety

Flight Safety Foundation provides a forum where air carriers, manufacturers, suppliers, maintenance organizations, aviation regulatory agencies and flight crewmembers share information, ideas and best practices for safety.

In the safety realm, there are no competitors. Flight Safety Foundation is impartial, nonprofit, global — a driving force for major initiatives toward progress.

This site is made possible by the more than 1,170 individuals and organizations in
142 countries that are members of Flight Safety Foundation.

FOQA and ASAP were only the beginning.
Now, data analysis reaches a new level.

Flight operational quality assurance (FOQA) and aviation safety action programs (ASAPs) have been used by airlines to monitor performance and safety issues. Until now, they haven’t had a way to compare their own indicators with broader cross-industry safety trends. But under a new FAA-industry data mining program, the FAA and airlines can aggregate data from industrywide and government sources through the Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing program. Wayne Rosenkrans tells the story in “Preventive Fusion,” one of nine feature stories in the May AeroSafety World.
