	Aircraft Icing Research Alliance (AIRA) http://icingalliance.org The Aircraft Icing Research Alliance (AIRA) was created by Canadian and US partners with the purpose of increasing the degree of coordination in aircraft icing research, especially research collaborations among the AIRA signatories (The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Transport Canada (TC), Environment Canada (EC) and the National Research Council of Canada (NRC)
	Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) Air Safety Foundation http://www.aopa.org/asf Chartered in 1950, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) Air Safety Foundation is dedicated to providing aviation education and safety programs for general aviation. The mission of the Foundation is to save lives and promote General Aviation Safety.
	Aviation Digital Data Servic (ADDS) http://adds.aviationweather.noaa.gov Digital and graphic analysis, forecasts and observations of meteorological variables available to the aviation community.
	Aviation Weather Center http://aviationweather.noaa.gov The Aviation Weather Center issues warnings, forecasts and advisories of hazardous weather for aviation interests. This site includes issued products (ie. AIRMETS, SIGMETS for icing, Significant Weather Progs), and well as forecast guidance (model data, satellite imagery, radar data), designed to help give the pilot access to the same data sources that the meteorologists are using. Experimental forecast products are also available.
	Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) http://www.caa.co.uk The CAA is the UK's independent aviation regulator, with all civil aviation regulatory functions (economic regulation, airspace policy, safety regulation and consumer protection) integrated within a single specialist body.
	European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) http://www.easa.eu.int/home EASA is an agency of the European Union which has been given specific regulatory and executive tasks in the field of aviation safety. The Agency constitutes a key part of the European Union's strategy to establish and maintain a high uniform level of civil aviation safety in Europe.
	Experimental Current Icing Potential http://www.rap.ucar.edu/iida/ An experimental product from NCAR that provides real-time, hourly, graphical diagnoses of the potential for icing and supercooled large droplet conditions.
	FAA - Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) http://www.faa.gov The FAA is responsible for the safety of civil aviation in the United States. Its major roles include: regulating civil aviation to promote safety, encouraging and developing civil aeronautics, developing and operating a system of air traffic control and navigation for both civil and military aircraft, researching and developing the National Airspace System and civil aeronautics, developing and carrying out programs to control aircraft noise and other environmental effects of civil aviation, and regulating U.S. commercial space transportation.
	FAA - Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) http://nasdac.faa.gov Federal Aviation Administration National Aviation Safety Data Analysis Center - Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS).
	FAA - Incident Data System http://nasdac.faa.gov Federal Aviation Administration National Aviation Safety Data Analysis Center - Incident Data System.
	Flight Safety Foundation http://flightsafety.org An independent, nonpolitical, nonprofit, international organization offering an objective view of aviation safety developments, the Foundation uses the Internet and this w eb site to maximize dissemination of its publications, seminars, special reports, and calendar of events.
	Icing Branch at NASA Glenn Research Center http://icebox.grc.nasa.gov This site offers information about the icing research activites within NASA and includes links to incident/accident databases as well as other aviation safety training products.
	Joint Aviation Authorities http://www.jaa.nl The Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) is an associated body of the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) representing the civil aviation regulatory authorities of a number of European States who have agreed to co-operate in developing and implementing common safety regulatory standards and procedures.  This co-operation is intended to provide high and consistent standards of safety and a "level playing-field" for competition in Europe.  Much emphasis is also placed on harmonising the JAA regulations with those of the USA.
	NTSB Accident/Incident Database http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/query.asp The National Transportation Safety Board's Aviation Accident/Incident Database.
	Transport Canada (TC) http://www.tc.gc.ca Transport Canada’s mission is to develop and administer policies, regulations and services for the best transportation system for Canada and Canadians — one that is safe and secure, efficient, affordable, integrated and environmentally friendly.
