Abstract

Collecting, analyzing, and transitioning data into actionable solutions is one of the most critical endeavors in aviation. There are a number of challenges that plague event reporting and analysis. This report describes the top 10 challenges: 1. Overcoming resistance/concerns about event data collection 2. Individual trust 3. Consistency in data analysis 4. Smaller carriers/Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul facilities do not dedicate adequate resources to event reports 5. Inefficient use of data from different sources that came in different formats 6. Why fund and promote--what is the return on investment (ROI)? 7. Lack of combined knowledge of human factors and task expertise to interpret data analysis 8. Why report--what's in it for me? 9. Lack of automated report generation 10. Need logical and proven implementation processes The results outlined in this report can be used as a starting place for best practices in incident reporting, analysis, and solution implementation.
