THE INTELLIGENCE DESK
Understand the signal.
See what matters.
Research, guidance and operational questions—put into context. Founding explainers sit alongside new plain-English features on AI, cybersecurity and aviation safety.
The pilot didn’t touch the controls. Who was still responsible?
A landmark autonomous journey still depended on people. The safety question is whether those people could understand, challenge and intervene in time.
WITH SENTINEL’S AI LENSAI suggests the route. Who checks the risk?
The FAA’s SMART programme is intended to anticipate congestion and conflicts. IASMS examines trusted data, meaningful human challenge and accountable change.
WITH SENTINEL’S AI LENSThe computer is working—but can we trust its answer?
An AI answer can look clear and convincing while something important is missing. What does that mean for aviation safety?
WITH SENTINEL’S AI LENSStrengthening SMS with in-time safety intelligence
Faster information is only useful if someone can act before the safety margin disappears.
WITH SENTINEL’S AI LENSSafety intelligence: beyond reporting
Reporting captures events, hazards and concerns. Intelligence helps assess what they mean, what remains uncertain and where action may be needed.
WITH SENTINEL’S AI LENSHuman oversight is a design requirement
Putting a person “in the loop” is not enough if they lack time, evidence or authority.
WITH SENTINEL’S AI LENSNASA’s IASMS research: what the evidence supports
Experimental progress matters. So does distinguishing historical research from an active programme.
WITH SENTINEL’S AI LENSAnnex 19, Doc 9859 and Doc 10159: different jobs, one safety system
Understand the relationship without confusing international provisions, implementation guidance and intelligence.
WITH SENTINEL’S AI LENSOne aerodrome. Several organisations. A shared safety picture.
Collaboration starts with a common decision, compatible evidence and clear ownership.
