•Case Study: FAA

The Civil Aviation Registry (the Registry) is the branch of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) responsible for registering more than 320,000 U.S. civil aircraft. Annually, they issue about 70,000 aircraft registration certificates. The Registry also maintains more than 4.2 million airmen records and issues over 240,000 new certificates each year to pilots, flight engineers, flight and ground instructors, aircraft dispatchers, mechanics, repairmen, parachute riggers, control tower operators, and flight navigators.

The Registry is custodian of official agency records for both aircraft and airmen. They play a key role in aviation safety by providing statistics, technical advice, and certified copies of records to law enforcement, FAA Aviation Safety Inspectors, and National Transportation Safety Board Investigators.

With such critical documentation under its care, the Registry must insure their information is always protected and readily accessible. To more efficiently accomplish this, the Registry is in the midst of a major undertaking to enhance their service with leading technologies. To make document access quicker, they are striving to use digital media rather than traditional media (microfiche, microfilm, and paper) for storing records. To date, the Registry currently maintains more than 100 million digital image files of official agency records, and this number continues to grow. These files tend to be large in data size, making the task of backing them up a laborious and lengthy process.
