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.
