Federal Aviation Administration Lessons Learned Update Presented to: COMSTAC By: Michael S. Kelly, Chief Engineer Date: May 3013
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?”
Update to October 2012 COMSTAC • Currently working to update internal lessons learned database for safety trend analysis to make it ready for access for COMSTAC members • Adaptation of AST’s STAR database of > 5,600 orbital launches worldwide • We are updating and modifying the database to make it easily searchable • We are in the process of setting up complete, easy to access standard reports • Reports will be easily customizable • STAR Database has been modified significantly, adding fields useful for trend identification • The information in the database is not proprietary • Tauri Group gathers the data from a variety of public sources
Update - Continued • STAR database will be rolled out to the COMSTAC members (and other select stakeholders who request it) in the near future • COMSTAC members, et al will provide a username and will be issued a temporary password • Login instructions will be available on the AST website • STAR database will open initially as a beta test for a trial period of six months • During that time, AST would appreciate feedback from COMSTAC members on how the system could be improved • AST will consider all feedback and make improvements as applicable • Goal is to evolve STAR into a current lessons learned database, with inputs from industry • Beta test will help determine feasibility, and suitability of STAR to satisfy industry needs
