Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST) Process Overview It is our privilege today to provide you with an overview of the joint government and industry safety effort known as CAST, the Commercial Aviation Safety Team. 1
In the U.S., our focus is set by the White House Commission on Aviation Safety 1.1 Government and industry should establish a national goal to reduce the aviation fatal accident rate by a factor of five within ten years and conduct safety research to support that goal. 1.2 The FAA should develop standards for continuous safety improvement, and should target its regulatory resources based on performance against those standards Both government and industry had been long been searching for a reliable way to choose wisely among the many deserving suggested actions to improve various aspects of aviation, thereby reducing risk. The Gore Commission’s challenge to reduce accidents by 80% over the next ten years provided the impetus for even closer collaboration to develop a data-driven process to help us focus our scarce resources on those initiatives with the most potential to reduce the risk of accidents. We were all convinced that the rigor of analyzing reliable data was the surest path to continually improving our performance. 5.3-2 2
The National Civil Aviation Review Commission (NCARC) on Aviation Safety Provided Additional Direction FAA and the aviation industry must develop a strategic plan to improve safety, with specific priorities based on objective, quantitative analysis of safety information and data. Government should expand on their programs to improve aviation safety in other parts of the world. The NCARC was released in the same time period and gave further impetus to the notion of objective, quantitative analysis as the answer to sorting out which among the many ideas before us should be chosen first as the most promising and productive ways to reduce risk below the already excellent levels we had achieved over the preceding decades. The NCARC also recognized that the global nature of aviation demanded that we needed to contribute to safety improvements worldwide, not just at home. In 1997, the National Civil Aviation Review Committee (NCARC) assessed the state of Commercial Aviation Safety and the safety initiatives of Government and industry in the United States. One of the recommendations received from NCARC suggested that Government and Industry should combine and leverage their individual safety programs and develop an integrated strategic safety plan. 5.3-3 3
In Response Ongoing Industry and FAA Safer Skies Initiatives were Combined into CAST Data-Driven, Consensus-Based, Integrated Strategic Safety Plan Developed In place and fully supported by Government and Industry with Worldwide Recognition - “CAST” The U.S. aviation industry had been simultaneously organizing around this same notion of data-driven decision making, using the same accident data that led FAA to their strategy, so it was logical to combine our efforts into a joint team -- which we named the Commercial Aviation Safety Team. Since large portions of the money to be invested would be by private companies in their own airplanes, this program needed to be voluntary. This turned out not to be a problem, since data-driven analyses would show the benefits of an enhancement, and companies would naturally choose the ones offering the most benefit. I will show you how this process has enabled us to winnow down a list of hundreds of recommendations into a coordinated and integrated Safety Plan that is well on the way to yielding a 73% risk reduction by 2007.

Excluding all security events Both government and industry had known for some time which categories of accidents were happening most often and causing the greatest losses of life and property. If we could substantially mitigate the greatest fatality risks, we should make good progress toward our Gore Commission goal.

The strength of CAST lies in its extensive membership, its proactive commitment to safety and its ability to effect change. *Representing GE and RR
CAST Goals Reduce the U.S. commercial aviation fatal accident rate by 80% by 2007 Work together with airlines, JAA, ICAO, IATA, FSF, IFALPA, other international organizations and appropriate regulatory/ government authorities to reduce worldwide commercial aviation fatal accident rate CAST has established very concise goals to guide its activity, based on the Gore Commission & NCARC recommendations: Reduce the U.S. commercial aviation fatal accident rate by 80% by 2007. Thus, the predicted 73% reduction in the fatality risk that I will discuss later, puts us within reach of the 80% goal many thought to be impossible. And to work together with international organizations to reduce the worldwide commercial aviation fatal accident rate.
CAST Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST) Joint Safety Analysis Teams (JSAT) Data analysis Joint Safety Implementation Teams (JSIT) Safety enhancement development CAST accomplishes its work through Joint Safety Analysis Teams, or “JSATs”, which study accidents and incidents in a selected flight category, identifying precursors to problems and “Safety Enhancements” to reduce or eliminate these precursors. Joint safety Implementation teams, or JSITs”, conduct feasibility assessments of these potential Safety Enhancements and design detailed implementation plans (DIPs) to deploy these safety solutions. Finally, a Joint safety Measurement and Data Analysis Team, or “JIMDAT”, evaluates these safety solutions across all flight categories and provides prioritized recommendations to CAST for implementation. We’ll look a little further into the JIMDAT prioritization activity later in the presentation.

JSAT Process Charter Development Establish Team Select Data Set Review Data Evaluate Problem Importance Assign Standard Problem Statements Identify Problems (what/why) Develop Event Sequence Record Characteristics/ Indicators The first JSAT was chartered to develop a detailed process to analyze accident and incident data. The process developed includes an analysis of selected accidents/incidents, identification of problems encountered, and development of safety intervention strategies and assessments of effectiveness and feasibility. This process is currently being finalized. Additionally the team will review the results of prior studies and validate its own findings by comparison to the findings and recommendations of these studies. Results of the JSAT studies will be reported to the CAST. This process will help the industry to achieve a more intervention- oriented analysis approach. The JAA’s Joint Safety Strategy Initiative (JSSI) plans to use the same process as CAST and the JSATs and is participating directly on JSAT teams. This is an example of analysis to identify problems and interventions which is necessary to ensure our actions are data driven and will be effective. Both the CAST and JSSI efforts will be presented in detail in later papers.

Joint Implementation Measurement Data Analysis Team (JIMDAT) Process
Developed a Prioritization Methodology (JIMDAT) Identified the most effective solutions derived from all accident categories Considered effectiveness vs. resources Tested solutions against all fatal and hull loss accidents, U.S. domestic Part 121 Operations, 1987-2001 Created draft Master strategic safety plan Identified areas for future study/mitigation CAST developed a JIMDAT process which looks at solutions across multiple accident categories, considers solution effectiveness and resources and evaluated the ability of each solution to eliminate or mitigate prior U.S. fatal or hull loss accidents, had they been in place at the time. Using these results a master strategic safety plan was developed which also indicated areas where further risk reduction was needed.
JIMDAT Process Provides consistent estimates of the accident prevention potential of safety enhancements Accounts for the benefit of a single intervention or a combined group of interventions Addresses overlap with other interventions/technologies Preserves analysis criteria and results The CAST JIMDAT process provides a means to achieve consistent estimates of solution safety potential, can account for individual or grouped solutions, as well as overlapping solutions, preserves in a documented form the criteria and results of the analysis.
Using JIMDAT for CAST Plan Development Risk reduction is primary measure Identified effectiveness and associated resource requirements for each enhancement Used for initial differentiation (2007 and 2020) The JIMDAT focused on risk reduction as a primary parameter, considered safety effectiveness and resources required for each solution and used plots of effectiveness versus resources, or scatter plots, for initial identification of high priority safety solutions.
Integrated Strategic Safety Plan Contains 46 safety enhancements optimized to include those actions with the best effectiveness vs. resource relationships 22 complete/24 committed and underway Initially combines short-term “liveware”-based enhancements with transition to design change enhancements long term Projected 73% risk reduction by 2007 Foundation for U.S.-driven continuous improvements in worldwide aviation safety Using the JIMDAT approach CAST have developed a strategic safety plan as recommended by the NCARC. The plan contains 46 safety enhancements (of which 22 have already been completed). The number of completed items is fluid as CAST approves on-going initiatives. The completed items to date, have the potential for a 73% reduction in fatality risk (excluding security events). The plan is a combination of short term actions, such as training or Standard Operating Procedures, and longer range design based solutions.
Sharpening Our Focus All safety enhancements are valuable Some safety enhancements are more effective than others across the various accident categories Implementation reality demands better prioritization While all 84 safety enhancements are valuable, some are more effective than others across more than one accident category. This is where it is important to maximize the safety benefit versus the resources required when making final selections about which safety enhancements to deploy.
Output Evaluation Spreadsheet Example This an example of a of a portion of the output spreadsheet. It shows U.S. Fatal and Hull loss accidents, 1987-2001 listed vertically on the left, the 84 possible safety enhancements horizontally along the top, and the performance of each solution is then rated, had it been in place, against all of the accidents in the dataset.

Takes the effectiveness score of the preceding spreadsheet and adds the resource values to implement. Shows the relationships between safety effectiveness and resources for sample safety enhancements. Such scatter plots were used to provide an initial picture of the relative strengths of various safety enhancements based on effectiveness and resources. Enables us to select those safety enhancements that are optimally balanced in terms of effectiveness versus resources.

In the example plot, it can be seen how the CAST plan items for 2007 and 2020 were selected using benefits versus resources and the rationale for not selecting all the solutions. This represents the “sweet spot” in terms of prioritizing safety enhancements. The blue bars go well above 70% and approach 80% when we take credit for the effects that completed enhancements are bringing, as some of them are exceeding their projected success levels. The tool developed by CAST to determine the priorities of various enhancements will be described in detail in Paul Russell’s presentation on Thursday afternoon. The CD contains not only the results of our analysis of the worldwide accident data from 1988-2001 but a “generic” spreadsheet with use instructions that can be tested in your own operating environment.
Safety Plan Benefits Prediction of a 73% risk reduction that also results in approximately $620 million annual savings to the industry Current accident cost per flight is approximately $76 cycle Implementation of the 46 selected safety enhancements reduces this cost by $56 per flight cycle Safety is morally required and is also good for business The ultimate benefit of reducing fatality risk is the savings achieved in loss of life prevented, but money savings are also important. By implementing the 46 carefully selected, data-driven safety enhancements, we should reach a predicted 73% reduction in fatality risk by 2007, which will produce approximately $620M cost avoidance (savings) every year for the industry. This dramatically demonstrates that Safety is good for business! NOTE – cost and risk reduction figures are specific to US operations; similar analysis can be performed for international operations. .

This value increases to 79% when the beneficial effects of other ongoing safety initiatives developed outside of CAST by industry and government are considered. Utilizing the JIMDAT process and applying the results to identify risk eliminated for the dataset evaluated also provides insight into areas of remaining unmitigated risk which are guiding future CAST study areas. As a result of this analysis CAST has formed a Joint Safety Analysis Team to investigate and provide interventions for four areas of the unmitigated risk. They are icing (particularly ground deicing), maintenance error, midair collisions and cargo handling/loading. The team is expected to recommend safety enhancements in these areas by the fall of 2004. 20% 10% 0% Total CFIT LOC Flt Midair Evac LOC GND Crew Inc Eng-UCEF Sys-Comp Turbulence Fire/Explosion Runway Collision

We believe the concept of industry and government working together on common data driven accident prevention strategies will be highly effective and are recommending use of a similar concept throughout the world. The JAA Safety Strategy Initiative (JSSI) is an example of a similar program. To that end, we want to share the information and data, the analysis methods, and information on the adopted interventions from the U.S. efforts. Intervention strategies may need to differ depending upon the different operating environments. We want to encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to work together to improve safety PAAST Opportunities

ICAO to sponsor annual meeting to agree on accident category (CFIT, approach and landing, etc) for pervious years accidents The categorization of the accidents over the last ten years will also be completed in the Fall of 2002. COSCAP (Cooperative Development of Operational Safety and Continuing Airworthiness Under ICAO Technical Co-operation Programme) COSCAP-South Asia South Asia Regional Aviation Safety Team (SARAST) COSCAP-South East Asia South East Asia Regional Aviation Safety Team (SEARAST) CAST and the FAA are providing CAST information and help in developing Safety Enhancements for the two ICAO sponsored COSCAP programs in Asia. Flight Safety Foundation CFIT/ALAR ACTION GROUP (CAAG) ICAO, CAST and the FAA are active participants in the CAAG ICAO has purchased 10,000 copies of the Flight Safety Foundation Tool Kit to be distributed world wide FAA has plans to provide each Ops inspector, FSDO, ACO, regional and HQ offices copies of the Tool Kit

Future Vision Execute the CAST-approved Safety Plan Measure Plan effectiveness and modify Plan based on metrics and results Continue the development of a proactive incident-based risk mitigation methodology Improve the CAST process Expand CAST influence on worldwide safety programs Integrate safety program with R & D initiatives Catalog the many on-going safety initiatives that dilute limited resources and identify opportunities for program integration and efficiency improvements In the future, we will continue to diligently execute and refine our data-driven safety plan each year. We will measure our progress rigorously so we can build a better plan each year and thus continually improve the CAST process. We will transition to a proactive incident-based risk methodology. We look forward to sharing our results with others, so we can expand the positive influence of the CAST process worldwide. And we will integrate the knowledge we gain from this data-driven approach with initiatives to help our Research and Development community focus their efforts on those technologies that promise the most potential benefit. We are examining ways to ensure that safety resources are being used in the most effective manner.
Safety Plan Development CAST Plan Rev. Accident JSAT’s Accident JSIT’s Safety Enhancements CAST Plan Master Contributing Factors JIMDAT Process Metrics Emerging Risk Metrics Incident Analysis Process Safety Enhancements Changing Risk We have completed the historical study of CFIT, Loss of Control, Approach and Landing, Runway Incursion and Turbulence accidents and hull losses which have occurred in U.S. FAR 121 operations over the time frame of 1987 to 2001. Additionally we have completed an assessment of accidents and hull losses world wide over that same timeframe. The yellow boxes, ‘Accident JSAT’s’, ‘Accident JSIT’s’, etc. depict this historical study of accidents from which CAST has identified safety solutions to proactively apply and prevent/mitigate recurrence. But what is the future direction of CAST? Where do we go next to look at future risks? CAST is developing an incident analysis process that will allow us to become more proactive in accident prevention by identifying changing and emerging risks. This is shown by the purple boxes, ‘Incident Analysis Process’, ‘Emerging Risk’, ‘Changing Risk’, etc. Safety enhancements from this activity will be rolled into the CAST plan, related metrics will be developed and any newly identified contributing factors will be added to the Master Contributing Factor list. Also to reach further yet into the future (as shown in green), CAST will examine and identify hazards that may result from ‘Aviation System Changes’ and ‘Demographic Changes.” Much of this work has been done by CAST’s sister organization, the JAA Future Aviation Safety Team (FAST), which is developing future hazards based on their study of future areas of changes. CAST will incorporate the results from the FAST analysis into the CAST plan; safety enhancements and related metrics will be developed and the newly identified contributing factors will be added to the Master Contributing Factor list.
