UAS Sightings & Encounters

As the world continues to embrace the use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs), the challenges of integrating UASs with existing aircraft operations increase exponentially. To proactively address these issues, Fort Hill Group has developed two interactive visualizations based on 1,346 UAS sightings reported to the FAA by pilots, air traffic controllers, and civilians.

Visualizing Aviation Safety Reporting

Fort Hill Group has recently developed and published two interactive aviation safety visualizations based voluntarily reported safety issues from NASA's ASRS database. The first visualization provides an overall view of 100,000+ commercial aviation safety reports based reports filed between 1988 and 2014. The second visualization focuses on recent human factors trends by including reports citing specific human factors issues between 2009 and 2014.
