  1. Aviation Safety Program Making the Skies Safer

  2. Aviation Safety Program Growth in commercial aviation will lead to an increase in major aviation accidents NASA, the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have partnered to form the Aviation Safety Program

  3. Aviation Safety Program • GOAL: Develop and demonstrate technologies that contribute to a reduction in the aviation fatal accident rate by a factor of 5 by year 2007 and by a factor of 10 by year 2022. • Strategies • System Modeling • Accident prevention • Accident mitigation

  4. Projects • Aviation System Monitoring and Modeling • Provide aviation safety data to decision makers • Identify causes of and precursors to aviation accidents • Provide health, performance and safety information • Ensure a seamless aviation safety database

  5. Projects • System-Wide Accident Prevention • Reduce human error factors in aviation accidents • Predict vulnerabilities to error in human/system operations • Support improved maintenance operations • Develop more effective training

  6. Projects • Single Aircraft Accident Prevention • Reduce accidents due to loss of control in flight and aircraft system failures • Prevent system design abnormalities • Prevent system failure • Prevent loss of control

  7. Projects • Weather Accident Prevention • Reduce decision-making errors due to weather • Provide high-fidelity, timely and intuitive weather information • Enhance situational awareness in reduced visibility • Detect and mitigate weather hazards

  8. Projects • Accident Mitigation • Reduce number of fatalities in an accident • Increase survival rate of accidents • Increase survival rate of post-flight crashes • Prevent in-flight fires

  9. Projects • Synthetic Vision • Virtual reality system for cockpits • Clear electronic picture of surroundings regardless of visibility conditions • Three dimensional moving screens will display • Terrain • Ground obstacles • Air traffic • Landing and approach patterns • Runway surfaces
