Future Aviation Safety Team
The European Commercial Aviation Safety Team (ECAST) and the Commercial Aviation Safety Team in the USA (CAST), sponsor a number of groups aimed at improving aviation safety. The special group FAST operates under the umbrella of the ESSI (European Safety Strategy Initiative)/ECAST as an associated team.

FAST performs analyses on ongoing or future changes affecting the global aviation system, aimed at revealing unidentified hazards. The FAST concept is to anticipate and prevent new safety hazards before they appear, and have plans in place to mitigate them should they occur.

Upcoming events

Area of Change lists
There is a new version available, see under Results.
Latest News
Go to Results and you will find the latest AoC list. Improvements to this list include More accurate names for the change phenomena, Enhanced descriptions, Specific hazards related to the AoC, Authoritative references for the reality of the AoC such as URL’s, books research references, etc. (to remove the AoCs from the speculative realm), and Notes and comments column capturing related material

Go to Documentation and you will find the Phase 1, 2 & 3 reports as well as five generic FAST presentations. These documents provide information on FAST products and the way the products were developed. The information contained therein is highly relevant for today’s aerospace industry because it provides a view towards the future and as such may assist practitioners in developing their prognostic view.
