Lessons Learned Discussion

This discussion highlights the need for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to develop a process for sharing safety critical data with the industry. The existing model, CSTLLS, is not widely known or used and lacks a formal process for sanitizing proprietary information. Collaborative efforts between the FAA and industry are necessary to address these challenges and implement an upgraded system.

  1. Federal Aviation Administration Lessons Learned Discussion Presented to: COMSTAC By: Michael S. Kelly, Chief Engineer Date: 11 May 2012

  2. Background • During October 2011 meeting, COMSTAC developed the following finding: “COMSTAC finds that it would be beneficial for the FAA to develop a process for disclosing to the industry pertinent data from reported safety critical anomalies, mishaps, incidents, and precursors where relevant to current and future operations. Such a process needs to protect proprietary data and comply with relevant export control policies whiles still fostering the continuous safety improvement of the industry” • Subsequently, the House Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics asked AST: “Do you have a model in mind for a system to exchange lessons learned data between government and industry?”

  3. Existing Model - CSTLLS • AST Commercial Space Transportation Lessons Learned System (CSTLLS) is a web-based system for collecting and disseminating lessons learned • Features information provided by AST, and industry submittals • Contains links to other FAA, NASA lessons learned sites http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ast/programs/cstlls/

  4. Issues with CSTLLS • Not well known or used • Site went live ca. August 2010, contains three entries (all from August 2010) • Information submittal from external sources not straightforward • Does not have self-contained submission form • Has no formal process for “sanitizing” lessons of proprietary information

  5. Related Work • AST has an ongoing project for organizing anomalies, mishaps, incidents, and precursors data for the purpose of trend analysis • Have collected internal databases and surveyed external ones • Will combine these into one database, with metrics added to permit statistical analysis • Complete set of data fields identified (first iteration) • Database vehicle identified (STAR) • Definition of metrics still in work • With additional resources, some of this information could be transferred into the CSTLLS

  6. Satisfying COMSTAC Finding • Define exactly what information the industry is looking for • Is CSTLLS on the right track in terms of what it conveys? • Is more quantitative, technical content desired? • Determine how to deal with proprietary considerations • How do we present technically useful information without violating proprietary restrictions? • Finalize implementation • Upgraded CSTLLS? • Some other implementation?

  7. Observations • Proprietary question is the toughest one • Existence of a solution not guaranteed • Small size of industry is the main hurdle • This is not something AST can solve unilaterally • To move this ahead, a collaborative effort between AST and industry is needed • Open loop approach has not worked to date
