A Call for the Development of Prototype(s) for a Global Analysis and Information Network (GAIN)

David Hinson, Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), stresses that Zero Accidents is the only acceptable safety goal for the aviation industry and the FAA. This notice offers some ideas for the elements needed to establish an early warning capability for existing and emerging safety concerns that would move the aviation industry towards Zero Accidents, and challenges the aviation industry to participate in developing that capability.
