 Conclusion 8: Collection and analysis of in-flight parameters (for example, flight operations quality assurance programs) can identify performance trends that can be used to improve the quality of approach and landing operations.

Recommendations:


 * Flight operations quality assurance should be implemented worldwide along with information-sharing partnerships, such as the Global Analysis and Information Network, British Airways Safety Information System, and FAA Aviation Safety Action Programs. Examples of flight operations quality assurance benefits (safety improvements and cost reductions) should be widely publicized.
 * A process should be developed to bring flight operations quality assurance and information-sharing partnerships to regional airlines and business aviation.

Conclusion 9: Global sharing of aviation information decreases the risk of ALAs.

Recommendations:


 * Deidentification of aviation information data sources should be a "cardinal rule" in flight operations quality assurance and information-sharing processes. Public awareness of the importance of information sharing must be increased through a coordinated, professional, and responsible process.

The Flight Safety Foundation ALA task force said that its conclusions and recommendations "must be translated into industry action" according to the following principles:


 * cohesiveness across all aviation sectors and regions to participate jointly in the implementation process and
 * commitment to a significant awareness campaign that will ensure availability of this information to participants in approach and landing operations worldwide so that they can play a part in improving safety within their "spheres of influence."
