System Safety Management
• Mission:– Improve aviation safety for the flying public by
conducting research and development. Develop and
evaluate technologies, conduct laboratory and field tests, perform analyses and simulations, and provide
data to support FAA regulatory, certification and
NextGen activities.
• Three Research Areas:– Data Sharing and Analysis
– Safety Analysis of ATO Services– Terminal Area Safety

System Safety ManagementData Sharing & Analysis
• Develop a suite of tools and capabilities that extracts, analyzes, and shares relevant knowledge from large amounts of disparate safety information. (ASIAS)
• Develop quantitative risk assessment methodology and apply it to support the continued operational safety of aircraft:
– Aircraft hazard analysis,
– Risk values for potential unsafe\
conditions.

System Safety Management
Safety Analysis of ATO Services
• Develop a capability to monitor NAS facility operations as they occur with respect to failures, risk and other off-nominal occurrences.
• Develop a capability that will assess operational safety of NAS Air Traffic Control (ATC) facilities and operations.

System Safety Management
Terminal Area Safety
• Identify and mitigate aircraft and aircrew risks associated with the terminal area.
– Improve stall simulation models in support of an expanded set of upset encounter/ recovery training requirements.
• Improve the effectiveness and efficiency in terminal area operations.
– Identify limitations and constraints for Performance-based Navigation in the departure and approach phases.
– Investigate contributing factors that impact aircraft landing performance.
– Develop methods for real-time reporting of runway slipperiness conditions

Carbon Monoxide Detectors in GA Aircraft
CO exposure occurs on the ground and in the air
– Majority below 10ppm, well below FAA standard of
50ppm
– CO exposure on the ground occurs when windows
are opened
Instrument panel was the best CO detector location among
those tested
– Lowest number of false alarms and false negatives
when threshold set at 35ppm to detect CO ≥50ppm in
the cabin

Potential/future GA Research
• Tools for collecting/analyzing all types of GA data.
• Additional GA safety studies by type of operations, e.g, risk identification, hazard assessment, and risk mitigation.
• Studying impediments to data sharing, identify issues and determine mitigating strategies.
• Fusing data safety with operational data, e.g., ADS-B and ASDE-x.
