The Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) has signed an agreement to participate in the Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing Program (ASIAS), the group announced today. Administered by Mitre Corp., ASIAS is an FAA-funded, joint government-industry collaborative aviation safety information sharing program.

ASIAS provides a resource to discover common, systemic safety problems that span multiple operators, fleets and airspace regions.This data is then used across the aviation industry to drive improvements and support safety management systems.

“We are pleased to offer ACSF members the opportunity to join the ASIAS program at no cost through the ACSF aviation safety action program [ASAP],” said ACSF president Bryan Burns. “Charter operators and corporate flight departments can now participate in this industry-wide collaborative effort by contributing safety data anonymously and viewing the collective de-identified information that ASIAS produces.”
