WHAT IS GSIP?

GSIP is the Global Safety Information Project. Everyone is collecting and analyzing data to improve operations, efficiencies and safety. The aviation industry is no exception. Big data is here and GSIP is designed to help the aviation industry around the world harness this information and make the safest mode of transportation even safer. GSIP consists of three main work streams.

2015 Focus Groups

The first step of GSIP is the 2015 Focus Groups. These meetings are being held throughout cities in Pan American and Asia Pacific. The key outcome from the focus groups will be to identify how many entities collect safety data, how the data are collected and processed and how the results of that data collection and processing are applied to promote aviation safety.

2016 Workshops

Based on the results of our 2015 focus groups, GSIP will host a number of workshops in 2016 to develop tool kits. These toolkits will include methods for getting the most out of your safety data collection and analysis processes.

Legal Protection

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is leading the way to develop recommendations for protecting safety data from unjust legal activity. In the first year of FSF’s GSIP work, we will research the existing legal protection in ICAO member states so that we can assist an ICAO task force in building a legal protection framework.
