FAA Pilot Program Collects ASIAS Data from GA Operators Near Phoenix
FAA and GA operators collaborating to reduce accident rate.

The FAA has launched an Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing (ASIAS) program for the general aviation community, bringing to the sector a system many operators–from Parts 121 and 135 to GA pilots–are already using. The agency announced the one-year demonstration project on March 28.

In response to GA’s static fatal accident toll over the past five years, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta has identified initiatives that make reducing GA fatalities a high priority. These initiatives include the work of the General Aviation Joint Steering Committee (GA JSC) and bringing GA operations into ASIAS.
