FDM (Flight Data Monitoring) and HFDM (Helicopter Flight Data Monitoring) :

The primary goal of a Safety Management System is to manage risk at a level that is as low as reasonably practicable. An aircraft is at its highest operational risk when it is in motion, yet there is typically minimal information about that activity. In order to capture operational information about aircraft activities, there are two tools available: HFDM and safety reporting — of which only FDM is comprehensive and quantifiable.  

In the event of in-flight occurrences flight crew are required to submit safety reports. However this system is ineffective if the crew is unaware that the event occurred or unwilling to report an error. In the aviation safety community, it is generally agreed that at least 75% of accidents are due to human error and only a fraction of those errors are captured in a reporting system.

The primary purpose of the FDM hardware is to record the interaction between the technology (i.e. the aircraft) and the operator (i.e. the flight crew). The purpose of the software is to provide a tool to analyse the interaction either for specific events (reactive), or to assess undesirable trends (proactive and predictive) in the normal operation of the aircraft. These trends, if allowed to continue, could possibly pose a threat to flight safety. This analysis also helps the clients to address the organization factor(s) that influence, guide, or prescribe flight operation requirements.

WHY FDM?
