Today's unreported occurrences may become tomorrow's incidents. Take action now!

The aviation community is under constant pressure to reduce accident and incident rates, while optimizing operational costs to remain competitive. Flight Data Monitoring (FDM), also referred to as Flight Operations Monitoring (FOM) or Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA), offers an efficient solution to this challenge. This quality assurance process, which consists of downloading and analyzing aircraft data on a routine basis, is now being used by operators throughout the world to facilitate corrective actions in a range of operational areas.

By offering the ability to track and evaluate flight operations trends, identify risk precursors, and take the appropriate remedial action, FDM strongly contributes to increased flight safety and operational efficiency.

Main Reasons for implementing Flight Data Monitoring

• Regulatory FDM requirement to comply with future ICAO Annex 6 Part 1
• Regulatory requirement to comply with JAR OPS-1.037
• Main benefits that can be derived from FDM:
  • Increased safety oversight
  • Operational improvements
  • Fuel savings
  • Improved Engine Condition Monitoring
  • Reduced maintenance costs
  • More focused training
