FDM 101 Flight Data Monitoring Workshop Presented at HAI Heli-Expo 2009 February 23, 2009 !

"#$%#&$'! • � FDM basics • � FDM program decisions • � Process • � Resources

Flight Data Monitoring History • � 1960s – FDM with British Airways and TAP Air Portugal • � 1993 – FSF recommends FOQA beyond airlines • � Late—1990s Airline FOQA becomes commonplace • � 2002 – Final CAA HOMP trial paper issued • � June 2005 – FSF/NBAA C-FOQA Trial • � Late 2006 – New recorder technology enables GA FDM • � 2008 – Bristow/Air Logistics FAA-approved HOMP • � 2009 – IHST/FSF Helicopter FDM Trial

Flight Data Monitoring defined • � Definition: “A systematic method of accessing, analyzing and acting upon information obtained from digital flight data records of routine operations to improve safety” • � FDM involves the pro-active use of flight data to identify and address operational risks before they can lead to incidents and accidents. (HOMP Study – UK CAA, Shell Aircraft, Bristow and BA) • � Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) is the technology and methodology for collecting and analyzing data recorded in flight. (FAA)

Question: Why Flight Data Monitoring? • � For every major accident there are several less significant accidents, hundreds of reportable incidents and thousands of unreported incidents. • � Below this lie the normal variations present in all operations. • � FDM gives more detail on the incidents, encourages more The Heinrich Pyramid consistent reporting and fills in the void below this that we know very little about. (HOMP Study)

Answer: Discovering the unknown! • � The HOMP (trial) provided valuable new information on the risks associated with helicopter offshore operations. • � Events have identified hazards which otherwise would not have come to light. • � The operator has been able to take appropriate corrective and preventative measures. • � The measurements are building a useful picture of everyday operations which has not previously available. • � The HOMP has shown how pro-active use of flight data in a FDM program can significantly enhance the safety of helicopter offshore operations.
