The Flight Safety Foundation has released its Global Safety Information Project (GSIP) <a href="https://flightsafety.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/GSIP-Year-2-Report-with-appendices.pdf">Year Two Report</a> and initial GSIP toolkits, which are intended to help commercial and business aviation organizations develop their safety data-collection, -analysis and -sharing capabilities. The GSIP was launched in October 2014 to study how aviation safety data is used in the Pan America and AsiaPacific regions, and to produce toolkits that can be used by aircraft operators around the world to mitigate risk through more effective safety-data collection, processing and sharing.


“Safety management systems are becoming more widespread, and 65 percent of the organizations surveyed as part of the GSIP already are using safety performance indicators linked to ICAO accident categories,” said FSF GSIP project leader Mark Millam. “But, at the same time, there are many challenges in ensuring that safety data are used consistently in trying to manage risk.”


The foundation also believes that certain “underserved aviation industry sectors—for example, business aviation, charter/on-demand carriers and helicopter operators—will benefit from information sharing and that existing practices likely will be translatable/adaptable by the other sectors without reinventing methods or safeguards.”
