SKYbrary Wiki

__NOTOC__
==What is SKYbrary==
SKYbrary is an electronic repository of safety knowledge related to flight operations, air traffic management (ATM) and aviation safety in general. It is also a portal, a common entry point, that enables users to access the safety data made available on the websites of various aviation organisations - regulators, service providers, industry. 

==SKYbrary's Strategic Objective==
SKYbrary's objective is to become a single point of reference for aviation safety knowledge by making universally available and accessible the safety knowledge accumulated by various aviation organisations, entities and initiatives. The SKYbrary knowledgebase is a dynamic enterprise and has taken several years to develop. To develop further, and maintain the accuracy and relevance of the knowledgebase, will require the support and active participation of all those interested in promoting best practice and knowledge in aviation safety.

==SKYbrary Content Development Priorities==
SKYbrary content development priorities have been to focus on: 
*'''Who''': Flight Operations and Air Traffic Management 
*'''Where''': Globally  
*'''What''': Operational Risks  
*'''Aviation sector''': Commercial Air Transport

==Content Management and Control==
SKYbrary adopts the concept of Media-wiki products - anyone can comment, propose modification to an existing article, suggest a new topic or submit a draft article. However, there is an important difference that distinguishes SKYbrary from other wikies. '''A robust content management and control process supported by appropriate user rights management ensures the needed quality, credibility and consistency of stored safety data'''.

More detailed information on content development and quality assurance procedures can be obtained from the dedicated article on [[Skybrary Content Management]].

==SKYbrary Value for Group Users==
SKYbrary now has [[SKYbrary Corporate Subscription|Corporate Subscriptions]] from airlines and ANSPs who want to use SKYbrary highlights to improve awareness of safety issues. For more information, take a look at the article "[[SKYbrary Corporate Subscription]]"

Working with the [[FAA]], we have uploaded the outputs of the Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST) to provide a unique on-line resource of reference material for safety managers.

==The SKYbrary Wiki Platform==
SKYbrary is set up as a wiki, using the same platform as wikipedia, with some additions and some restrictions. If you want to learn more, do check [[Help:Contents|Help]].
