4. 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.

5. March 4 th 2013 – Las Vegas Intro to HFDM - IHST Accident Intervention Routine operations Accidents Serious incidents Minor incidents FREQUENCY OF EVENT Severity of event PROACTIVE? Active Failures and Latent Threats REACTIVE Why HFDM?

6. March 4 th 2013 – Las Vegas Intro to HFDM - IHST Accident Intervention FDM O O IIII O O This is Why

7. 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

8. 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

9. 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?

14. March 4 th 2013 – Las Vegas Intro to HFDM - IHST Accident Intervention Solid State Quick Access Recorder How do we get the data?

15. March 4 th 2013 – Las Vegas Intro to HFDM - IHST Accident Intervention Aircraft without FDRs Stand alone units PowerEarthGeospatial Digital (Optional) Video (Optional) Engine Data

16. March 4 th 2013 – Las Vegas Intro to HFDM - IHST Accident Intervention Now I have the knowledge Start compiling your trend information Itsnot about individual incidents Its not about individual incidents Aggregate the event types Aggregate the event types Produce readable reports Produce readable reports Involve your staff Involve your staff Don’t talk about individual events in terms of the crews who flew them Don’t talk about individual events in terms of the crews who flew them

18. March 4 th 2013 – Las Vegas Intro to HFDM - IHST Accident Intervention Demonstrable safety: Don’t just think you’re safe, Don’t just think you’re safe, KNOW YOU’RE SAFE KNOW YOU’RE SAFE Flight Data Monitoring
