Lessons Learned Update May 2013 Federal Aviation Administration 1 1 Background During October 2011 meeting, COMSTAC developed the following finding: “COMSTAC finds that it would be beneficial for the FAA to develop a process for disclosing to the industry pertinent data from reported safety critical anomalies, mishaps, incidents, and precursors where relevant to current and future operations. Such a process needs to protect proprietary data and comply with relevant export control policies whiles still fostering the continuous safety improvement of the industry” Subsequently, the House Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics asked AST: “Do you have a model in mind for a system to exchange lessons learned data between government and industry?”
