March 4 th 2013 – Las Vegas Intro to HFDM - IHST Accident Intervention 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.

March 4 th 2013 – Las Vegas Intro to HFDM - IHST Accident Intervention What do we mean by Flight? Flight Data Monitoring Data will only be worth anything if the aircraft is actually doing something. So ‘flight’ is from power on to power off

March 4 th 2013 – Las Vegas Intro to HFDM - IHST Accident Intervention and Data? Flight Data Monitoring Anything about the state of the aircraft that can be recorded: Airspeed Rate of climb/descent Flight control positions Engines / rotors / temps & pressures

March 4 th 2013 – Las Vegas Intro to HFDM - IHST Accident Intervention What about monitoring? Flight Data Monitoring Careful analysis of groups of data for indications of anything undesirable. So what does it look like?
