Baldwin Safety & Compliance has added an integrated mapping system to its safety reporting system. The geolocating feature leverages location-specific data, allowing users to pinpoint and monitor the exact location of safety-related events.
The system—which is based on advanced technology for reporting and analysis—can use data extracted from a wide variety of sources, including safety reports, an Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP), the FAA's Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing (ASIAS) system, and a Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) program.
“We are excited to integrate this mapping feature into our reporting functionality to help determine patterns of high risk in specific locations," said Dr. Jason Starke, the company’s director of safety. He added that its value lies in the ability for long-term analysis to determine recurring safety hazards and patterns unique to certain areas. “We have been beta testing this with the air medical community due to their high volume of safety reporting, and now it is available to all our subscribers.”
