AINsight: LOSA Provides Insight into Crew Performance
LOSA captures normal pilot line performance and provides a snapshot of the operation.

For business aviation operators planning to build a modern safety system, the “roadmap” begins with establishing a safety management system (SMS). Using SMS as the foundation, the operator can build on this system by implementing other subordinate safety programs. These programs include the “big three” FAA voluntary safety programs: flight data monitoring (FDM/FOQA), aviation safety action programs (ASAP), and line operations safety audits (LOSA)–each with its own unique attributes and data sources to fuel the SMS.
