Other Conclusions

Air safety data gathering seems to be improving a lot in Europe: European Central Repository (ECR)
  • EASA annual safety reviews contain information about ECR.

    "The value of augmenting accident and serious incident data with incident data from the ECR will bring enormous benefits to the identification of safety issues."

  • European regultions on ECR constantly evolving:

    "The implementation of Regulation (EU) 376/2014 in November 2015 will introduce the requirement for reporting organisations and individuals to provide mandatory data."

  • Commitment to improve data quality: data quality section included in annual safety reviews.

"It is vital that occurrence information is collected in a centralised manner, from a variety of sources, in a standardised and compatible format."

Data analysis process is not a bed of roses
  • Getting the data is hard! thank you NTSB!
  • Cleaning data is time consumming: missing and wrong values, parsing process...
  • But pandas helps a lot!

Thanks for yor attention!
