FAA’s Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing (ASIAS) system connects 46 safety databases across the industry and is integrated into the Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST) process, the agency said Thursday in a fact sheet.

There are currently 40 member airlines participating in ASIAS, a program that has evolved to the point that it now has access to Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) programs from 21 operations and Aviation Safety Action Partnership (ASAP) data from flight crews, maintenance crews and operators.

ASIAS has begun accessing reports in the Air Traffic Safety Action Program (ATSAP), which provides air traffic controllers with a way to report potential safety hazards. FAA plans to eventually expand ASIAS to 64 databases. The system uses FOQA and ASAP data from 37 air carriers that represent 92 percent of commercial operations in the National Airspace System (NAS).
