ASRS Aviation Safety Reporting

Some solutions have been found to the problem of protection for employees who make reports. A number of legislative frameworks (no blame, no shame) protect staff who make reports in certain countries (particularly the United States and Denmark ) in many industrial and service sectors. For example, for 25 years the national aviation safety reporting system in the United States (ASRS—Aviation Safety Reporting System) has protected the aviation professionals who report their errors by guaranteeing them anonymity and rendering legal prosecution impossible. Similar systems now exist in the medical domain.

Incident reports were taken from the Aviation Safety Report System (ASRS) database report set. The Global Positioning System (GPS) report set features 50 incidents involving the use of GPS devices for the period 2004 through 2006. This report set can be found on the ASRS website . The ASRS collects, analyzes and responds to aviation safety incident reports that have been submitted voluntarily by pilots, controllers and others. Due to the voluntary submission of these reports it has a reporting bias and represents only a certain group of pilots.

Harper and Helmreich (2003) consider that the use of reporting programs can be traced to the development of the Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) and more recently, has been further encouraged by the Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP). 

In the U.S. aviation industry, the Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) has been collecting confidential, voluntary reports of close calls (near miss incidents) from pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers since 1976. The system was established after TWA Flight 514 crashed on approach to Dulles...

Example 1 Figure 13.5 shows an analysis of the incentives that the different participants in the US Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) receive. ASRS is a system for the reporting of incidents and human errors for use in accident prevention. To promote reporting, the following measures have been taken ... 

Past experience indicates that the commimication between air traffic controllers and pilots is subject to various types of errors. In fact, as per a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) study of 386 reports submitted to the Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) during the period from July 1991 to May 1996, the pilot-controller communication errors can be grouped into four types [18] ...

Accident reports for the period 1993 through 2007 from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) database were collected from their online database. The data were extracted from . The NTSB database contains information about all aviation accidents for which a summary format is issued. All accidents are reported and there is no significant reporting bias compared to the voluntary submitted ASRS reports.
