The Definition of
Flight Data Monitoring.
Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) is the systematic, pro-active use of digital flight data from routine operations to improve aviation safety.
Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) programmes assist an operator to identify, quantify, assess and address operational risks.

• What do we mean by Flight?
Flight Data MonitoringData will only be worth anything if the aircraft
is actually doing something.
So ‘flight’
is from power on to power off

• and Data?
Flight Data MonitoringAnything about the state of the aircraft that can
be recorded:
Airspeed
Rate of climb/descent
Flight control positions
Engines / rotors / temps & pressures

• What about monitoring?
Flight Data MonitoringCareful analysis of groups of data for indications of
anything undesirable.
So what does it look like?

Aircraft without FDRs
Stand alone unitsPowerEarth
Geospatial Digital (Optional)Video (Optional)Engine Data

Now I have the knowledge
Start compiling your trend information
Its not about individual incidents
Aggregate the event types
Produce readable reports
Involve your staff
Don’t talk about individual events in terms of the crews who flew them

Don’t just think you’re safe,
KNOW YOU’RE SAFE
