Proposed Selection Criteria for Aviation Safety Analytical Methods and Tools

Abstract

This report provides a set of criteria useful in choosing and using analytical tools and methods (artifacts) directed at aviation safety analysis. The approach consists of adopting a rational framework in three selection stages: artifact classification, value, and quality. Furthermore, we have supplied a scoring and weighting method as an example. Over the years, experts have devised numerous analytical artifacts to articulate safety data into a comprehensive body of knowledge. Given the seriousness of aviation safety, we believe all such artifacts need to be evaluated wisely and cautiously before any claims are made. The criteria prescribed in this report provide one way to classify and evaluate them consistently, as a prelude to their use.
