Safety Performance Analysis System (SPAS)

In support of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA’s) overall safety posture, the Safety Analysis Performance System (SPAS) provides an automated, read-only, web-based user interface for FAA employees and contractors, managers and flight coordinators, and Department of Defense (DoD) flight inspectors to query summarized and detailed data from multiple FAA systems. SPAS was developed by the FAA Aviation Safety (AVS) Organization to meet a requirement in USC Title 49, Subtitle VII, Part A, subpart iii, Chapter 447, 44713e. Legal authority to maintain data in SPAS is covered under 49 U.S.C. 40101, 40113, 44701–44703, 44709, 45101–106, 46301. The FAA is publishing this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for SPAS in accordance with Section 208 of the E-Government Act of 2002 because the system receives and displays Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from members of the public (air operators, air agencies, air personnel, airmen, air crew, or air maintenance personnel) including name, address, airmen certification number, date of birth and other personal information as discussed in this PIA.
