NASA UPDATES AVIATION SAFETY DATA WEB SITE
WASHINGTON -- NASA will update its National Aviation Operations
Monitoring Service, or NAOMS, Web site Tuesday to add more
information from pilot survey responses.
The data files are essentially the same files posted to the Web site
in late 2007 and early 2008. However, the files are packaged
differently and contain fewer redactions than the original postings.
Therefore, they provide more information from the NAOMS aviation
safety surveys. The surveys were conducted from 2001 through 2004.
This release, in Microsoft Excel format, fulfills NASA's commitment
to
provide as much information as possible without compromising the
anonymity and confidentiality promised to survey participants or the
commercial confidentiality of the airlines and organizations
involved. It also ensures that aviation safety researchers and the
public have access to additional information that may be used to
develop future models for safety systems to monitor the National
Airspace System. NASA has no plans to post any additional NAOMS
information after Sept. 30.
Additional information and the survey responses from the NAOMS
project
are available at:
