ATAC is a Winner in the FAA’s 2024 Aviation Safety Data Transformation Challenge

December 10,  2024 

ATAC is pleased to announce that the Federal Aviation Administration selected ATAC as one of three winners of the 2024 FAA Aviation Safety Data Transformation Challenge (FASDTC). This challenge asked participants to use modern AI capabilities to identify underlying causal factors for safety events in the National Airspace System (NAS), ultimately improving aviation safety. Our winning response included three technical papers:

  • Human-Interpretable AI Learning System (HAILS) – Explainable AI (XAI) System for Safety 
  • Automating Causal Context Discovery in Aviation Safety: an AI-Enabled Approach to Incident Analysis
  • Go-Around Prediction System (GAP)

Congratulations to the entire ATAC FASDTC team! ATAC looks forward to working with the FAA’s safety-focused lines of business to apply our ATAC safety data analytics innovations into the FAA’s processes to identify and proactively address important NAS safety risks.
