Abstract

NASA’s System-Wide Safety (SWS) Project conducted a high-fidelity flightsimulation study and curated a publicly available data and analysis coderepository, referred to as the Human Contributions to Safety (HC2S) Data Testbed.Publication of the HC2S Data Testbed data descriptor publication in the NatureScientific Data journal provides a detailed description of the research dataset aswell as methodological procedures, data management, and analysis approaches.The purpose of the HC2S Data Testbed is to enable empirical assessment ofresilient pilot behaviors and broaden the understanding of human contributions tosafety in commercial aviation. By framing safety as the capacity to succeed undervarying conditions, this work contributes directly to emerging concepts in Safety-IIand advances development of an In-time Aviation Safety Management Systems(IASMS).
