Flight Data Monitoring

Flight Data Monitoring

Are you a charter or business aviation operator looking to enhance safety while optimizing operations? Look no further than the Air Charter Safety Foundation’s Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) program.

WHAT IS FLIGHT DATA MONITORING (FDM)?

Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) is a voluntary safety progam designed to enhance aviation safety. Continuous monitoring of flight data from an aircraft helps identify potential safety hazards, monitor trends and target resources to address operational risks. It also enables proactive risk mitigation and reducing accidents and incidents. 

According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB’s) “Most Wanted List,” aircraft operators should capture and analyze flight data with an FDM program. 

  • Analyze routine flight data captured from aircraft systems to improve safety performance.
  • Measure compliance with company standards and federal regulations.
  • Provide input to an aviation operator’s Safety Management System (SMS).

HOW THE ACSF HELPS OPERATORS...

As your educational resource, we can:

  • Assist your flight department in determining the necessary program scope.
     
  • Provide information on the available hardware and software solutions.

  • Help educate your staff (including front-line employees, department and company leadership) regarding the non-punitive nature of an FDM program.

As your FDM advisor, we will:

  • Review your operator’s individual flights for high-risk events. Plus, check your fleet data to determine areas for improvement.

  • Determine where to allocate your resources to achieve the greatest performance improvements.

  • Help you develop appropriate, non-punitive efforts to improve safety performance.

As your FDM intelligence source, we will:

  • Collect and analyze all de-identified member data. 
     
  • Assist with benchmarking your flight operations performance against that of similar operators.

  • Share trends to help improve safety events and incidents.

WHY IS FDM IMPORTANT?

At the ACSF, we’ll customize and create data-driven insights across all safety platforms in an effort to provide an all-encompassing, cost-effective solution. Our collaborative approach reduces costs and maximizes safety improvements.

Integrated Systems:
FDM easily integrates into existing safety tools, such as your Safety Management System (SMS) and Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP). At the ACSF, we’ll customize and create data-driven insights across all safety platforms in an effort to provide an all-emcompassing, cost-effective solution. Our collaborative approach reduces costs and maximizes safety improvements.

Operational Efficiency: 
FDM provides valuable insights into aircraft performance, fuel efficiency and pilot behavior. Analyzing this data enables

operators to optimize routes, reduce fuel consumption and enhance overall operational efficiency, leading to cost savings.

Safety Compliance: FDM isn’t mandated by the FAA, but it’s recommended by the NTSB. Coupled with our ASAP, FDM explains when a safety-related event occurs and why it happened. Thus, we’ll help you comply with best practices, ensuring safety standards comparable to U.S. airlines.
