Rotorcraft ASIAS Spools Up
As the world rotorcraft community looks at new ways to attack the helicopter accident rate, the FAA and industry partners are spooling up the Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing System (ASIAS) for rotorcraft. Rotorcraft ASIAS began in late 2014 and currently 30 operators, 13 of them from law enforcement, are participating in the program, in which operator flight recorder data gets confidentially downloaded, converted, validated, checked for consistency, de-identified, then uploaded into a central database currently administered by the Helicopter Association International (HAI).
