SKYbrary – A wiki full of aviation safety related articles and references

The saftey unit at Eurocontrol came with the brilliant idea of collecting all the aviation safety related resources into a wiki.

Should you need to search on items such as level busts, runway incursions, air ground communications, and otheer themes, all you have to do is to go to this site: www.skybrary.aero and look there.

This wiki has also got a search engine which looks directly into a number of ICAO documents…

It is not a living website and new articles will be included to enrich it [currently there are some 1100 articles].  One needs to be a designated user to submit articles to the wiki, but the discussion on articles is open to registered users – and it is easy to register!

This is an extract of the press release from EUROCONTROL

SKYbrary – www.skybrary.aero - a new wiki-style web site which aims to be the single point of reference for aviation safety knowledge was launched today by EUROCONTROL in partnership with the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Flight Safety Foundation.

SKYbrary provides in-depth information for aviation professionals, backed-up with an attractive search engine. It already hosts some one thousand articles, covering fifteen areas, including critical safety issues such as Level Bust and Runway Incursions. Articles are added regularly, and search words inside the articles link to additional information both on SKYbrary and on external sites.

The wiki format means that visitors can contribute both articles and information to SKYbrary. An open discussion forum aims to enhance visitors™ awareness of and interest in safety.

With permission from ICAO, SKYbrary includes an ICAO search engine. This will increase the speed at which answers to queries can be retrieved. As of today, key documents including ICAO Annexes (2, 10 and 11) and Documents (444 and 8168) are included.
