iSTARS migrates to the new SPACE platform
|
|
iSTARS has been around for over 2 years and has expanded and evolved constantly. The number of registered users had started to outgrow the initial infrastructure.
This has led to the development of iSTARS 2.0 SPACE, with many new features including:
- a Catalogue of apps you can search and filter to find what you need;
- a personalized desktop where you can manage and layout your apps like on a mobile tablet;
- faster response times through extensive use of our cloud based Safety Intelligence Engine (SIE); and
- the capability to segregate safety information and open registration to industry.
All iSTARS users have access to the 2.0 SPACE version.

A catalogue of SPACE apps
All iSTARS applications have been grouped under a calatogue similar to online web application stores. Apps are grouped by themes and domains and can be searched. Each user can select only those apps he or she really needs.
The catalogue is unique to a category of users depending on their access level (State, industry or general public), which allows information sharing with industry as well as protection of sensitive information.

USOAP Charts
The USOAP charts app has been redesigned to allow even better analysis of State USOAP results. State results can be analysed with respect to global or regional results.
Drill-down to unsatisfactory protocol questions can be done using the interactive bubble chart. USOAP activities have also been put on a timeline to allow evaluation of progress over time.

PBN Implementation
The implementation of PBN is presently the global aviation community's highest air navigation priority. The PBN concept offers significant benefits including improved safety through more
straight-in instrument approaches with vertical guidance, increased airspace capacity, increased airport
accessibility, more efficient operations, reduced infrastructure costs, and reduced environmental impact.
However, PBN is not a stand-alone concept; it is one of the elements that support the strategic objectives of
the Airspace Concept, together with Communications, Surveillance and Air Traffic Management.

Terrain Index for Airports
In order to better locate potential hotspots for controled flight into terrain (CFIT) accidents, we have calculated an average terrain height surrounding all major airports in the world.
Using gridded 1-km, quality controlled global Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data from the Global Land One-km Base Elevation (GLOBE) Project, the app displays terrain as well as the related terrain index.

Measuring IMC/VMC
Low visibility conditions at an airport is a recurrent contributing factor to aviation accidents. Using historic METARS, we have calculated an average time of past prevailing instrument meteorological conditions per month and per year for each major airport in the world.
This indicator can be used when performing risk assessment activities.

Increased browser and mobile compatibility
iSTARS 2.0 SPACE is compatible with all major browsers (Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome and Firefox). Special attention has been paid to mobile users so they may have the same experience and interface from their mobile device as from a desktop computer.
Synchronisation with the CMA Online Framework (OLF)
Whether you look for USOAP audit results on iSTARS 2.0 SPACE or the CMA Online Framework, you will now have the exact same information at any given time. Further connections between the two systems are under development.

Safety Oversight Information over REST API
You can now connect your servers directly to the latest USOAP information and use the latest Level of Implementation data inside your dashboards, tables, applications etc.
No need to manually download the data, your servers can talk to our servers directly using encrypted REST APIs.
