Aviation Accreditation Board International Industry/Educator Forum Data Integration for Safety Brian G. Dillman Purdue University
Framework for Purdue Data Collection • Purdue Aviation Technology Operates • 13 Cirrus SR-20 GS • 3 Cirrus SR-20 GTS (all the bells/whistles) • 3 Paradigm Cirrus SR-20 AATDs • 1 Phenom 100 • 1 Beechjet 400A • 2 Piper Seminoles • 4 Piper Arrows • 2 Piper Warriors • 1 Super Decathlon
Framework for Purdue Data Collection • Cirrus SR-20 Aircraft • Garmin G1000 - 99 parameters being recorded • Internal Flight data system records and processes 133 parameters • Cirrus SR-20 AATDs • Garmin G1000 - 99 parameters being recorded/uploaded • Phenom 100 • Data being sent directly to Embraer
Who wants to know…… • What is the current health of the aircraft? • Owner • Pilot • Mechanic • Passengers • FAA
Who wants to know…… • Where do the current aircraft problems exist? • Maintenance Technician • Pilot • Owner/Administration
Who wants to know…… • How was this airplane flown? • Prospective Buyer • Flight Instructor • Administration • FAA • Insurance Companies
Who wants to know…… • How are my flying skills? • Pilot • Flight Instructor • FAA • Administration • Designated Examiner • Insurance companies
Who wants to know…… • Are there precursors to an accident in our operation? • Everyone
“He’s supposed to be talking about data integration into collegiate SMS!!!” “Why isn’t he talking SMS???
The Next Frontier – Let’s Go Boldly!! • Get “Data” out of solely SMS & get into training & evaluation. • Connect performance/proficiency to actual operations. • Data can show real world failure, need for additional help, and SUCCESS!!
“If pilots merely flew to the current private pilot PTS just as they are written today, the number of accidents would plummet” • I agree, but…… • Pilots don’t view the PTS as a standard • The PTS is perceived as a “gate” that must be navigated
I would argue that most pilots feel they ARE flying to an acceptable standard • Data can reveal the achievement of a standard • No longer a measure of pass/fail, but a measure of stability and success.
How many Flight Instructors and Designated Examiners do we have in the room? • Who has heard the phrase…. • “He really passed? His landings have been terrible recently?” • “I can’t believe she did that. She’s never done that before.” • In the past, what could we do about this?
Statistical Evaluations • Who here would accept an article for a professional journal about an evaluation where the author only used 1 subject for evaluation instead of the traditional 30? • Why do we award certification with having observed one of each maneuver? • I’m being unfair….
Statistical Evaluations • With Statistical Regression we can… • Predict performance • Determine critical parameters for performance • Identify precursors for various events • Why should we not use this data?
A modified way of doing things • Real feedback • Instructors can't possibly "catch" all the GOOD and bad in a flight • No more “fine” solo flights • "Smart" Flight Review (61.57) • Instead of 1 hour ground / 1 hour flight
A modified way of doing things • Integrate Smart Curriculum • Positive Identification of Airmen • Password? • Biometric? • Physical? • Voice? • Feedback Mechanism • Sliding Limitations
A modified way of doing things • Linking with other Databases • National Weather Service • Validation of crosswind proficiency • Capture Flights • Instructor/Student Playback • Designated Pilot Examiner Validation / Certification • Identification of “critical” maneuvers / assessment areas
Data Dilemma… • What if the data shows that the pilot isn't proficient? • What if they got their certificate in a non-data aircraft and then the data reveals deficiencies? • Who responds? • FAA? • Instructors? • Insurance Companies?
Problems with Data Integration • What about non-data aircraft? • How do they get integrated into a data centric system? • What about indemnification? • Training doesn’t work unless we tie the data to a specific person • Who has control of the data? • Student (logbooks)? Owner? • Can/should the data be scrubbed?
We can’t do this, what about….. • Are instructors & flight operations more liable with data recorders? • FERPA (Family Education Rights Privacy Act)? • Who's going to regulate the data • Insurance companies? • FAA? • Self–Regulate? • Man vs. Machine – Who’s right?
The Challenge….. • Accreditation isn't the primary answer here. • Collaborative research is the answer. Players: • FAA, Insurance, Collegiate aviation, AOPA, FSF, EAA, NAFI, SAFE • Will take years to realize…..
Summation • Data is a wonderful tool for SMS • But there is so much more. • Let’s get to work!! • Questions???
