Common Taxonomies developed by the CICTT are currently being used by the following organizations:

----Government & Sponsoring Organizations----
  • Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST) is using the occurrence categories to code the CAST accident data set.
  • Directorate of Civil Aviation (DCA) Namibia is redesigning its aircraft registry and request a copy of the ACFT-MMS taxomomy to design the system according to international standards
  • International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Safety Indicators Study Group (SISG) - is using the taxonomies in their assessment of accidents since 1997 (applying it to large turbine powered aircraft - over 5700 kilos).
  • ICAO is using the occurrence categories and phase of flight definitions in the ICAO Accident Incident Data Reporting (ADREP) system. Once the IRCA implements the ACFT-MMS taxonomy, ICAO will adopt the ACFT-MMS in ADREP.
  • International Register of Civil Aircraft (IRCA) (UK, Italy and Bureau Veritas all in co-operation with ICAO) will implement the ACFT-MMS taxonomy during 2005. The engine classification standard is likely to be adopted once it is finalized.
  • European Commission Civil Aviation Incident Reporting System (ECCAIRS) - This aviation occurrence reporting system developed by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission in Ispra, Italy, is using the occurrence taxonomy.
  • Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)- FAA has officially adopted the aircraft make model series (ACFT-MMS) and phase of flight taxonomies as an agency-wide data standard for its internal systems.
  • FAA - Air Traffic Resource Management Program - is planning to incorporate the CICTT taxonomies in the next version of the Airspace Incident Database.
  • FAA Aviation Flight Standards- is planning to use the ACFT-MMS taxonomy in the FAA Airplane Flight Manual, Accident Incident Data Systems (AIDS), Enforcement Information Systems (EIS), Service Difficulty Reporting Systems (SDRS), and Aircraft Engine Utilization Reporting System (UTIL).
  • FAA - National Aviation Safety Data Analysis Center (NASDAC) is using the ACFT-MMS taxonomy for validating imported data in its analytical and reporting databases. The NASDAC is also helping FAA source systems incorporate the ACFT-MMS taxonomy.
  • FAA - Office of Accident Investigations- is using occurrence categories from NTSB final reports as part of an analysis of fatal accident occurrences.
  • German Air Force- requested a copy of the ACFT-MMS for its program.
  • National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Aviation Safety Program's (AVSP) Accident database is using the occurrence taxonomies.
  • National Aerospace Laboratory - Netherlands (NLR) is using the occurence categories in their safety reviews and analysis.
  • National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is using the Occurrence Category taxonomy in accident reporting. NTSB plans on implmenting ACFT-MMS taxonomy in the next 2 years.
  • Transport Canada- has incorporated the ACFT-MMS taxonomy in its Airworthiness Web Information System for use in 2005 and is using the CICTT aircraft valid values reference database. Transport Canada plans on implementing the ACFT-MMS in its Aircraft Registry in early 2006.
  • United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA)- currently using the occurrence taxonomy for a review of GA reportable accidents in the past five years and is considering using this for its mandatory occurrence reporting scheme. The replacement Aircraft Information System (incorporating the UK Register database) will be adopting the aircraft make model series (ACFT-MMS) taxonomy; this system is due for completion by 2005.
  • United States Air Force (USAF) Safety Center- used phase of flight and occurrence categories as the foundation for a supplemented and modified taxonomy that accomodates the diverse military aviation environment.
  • University of Texas-Austin under contract with NASA, is interested in the ACFT-MMS and aircraft engine make model series for the Voluntary Aviation Safety Information Sharing Process (VASIP).
----Commercial Organizations----
  • AvGen, is using the ACFT-MMS taxonomy to de-duplicate the International Register of Civil Aircraft (IRCA) for the International Association of Aviation Historians.
  • Aviation Safety Network has adopted the phase of flight taxonomy and is implementing the ACFT-MMS taxonomy.
  • The Boeing Company is using the phase of flight and occurrence taxonomies in its accident/incident database.
