Aviation Safety Knowledge Management Environment
The Aviation Safety Knowledge Management Environment[1] (ASKME) is a software suite for certifying new aircraft and modified aircraft. It was created for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Aircraft Certification Service (AIR).
ASKME was established to provide a comprehensive automation environment for critical safety business processes for the Office of Aviation Safety. It consists of 18 separate projects that were installed between 2008 and 2017.[2] Segment 1 went from 2008 to 2012 and Segment 2 from 2013 to 2017.
The ASKME projects provide regulators with electronic storage and retrieval of FAA technical documentation,[3] and feedback from previous certifications that involved aircraft design and manufacturing safety issues. allowing easier access and sharing.
ASKME captures key safety-related data for rulemaking and policy development, airworthiness directives, design certification, production/ manufacturing certification and airworthiness certification. This helps regulators approve operating certificates, design or modification of aircraft and meet aircraft safety conditions; designee management,[4] evaluation and audit, external inquiries, enforcement, continued operational safety management, and international coordination.[5][6]
