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)

NTSB – FAA Shared Vision Conference 2008
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 consistent reporting and fills in the void below this that we know very little about. (HOMP Study)
The Heinrich Pyramid
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. (HOMP Study – www.caa.co.uk - CAA Paper 2002/02)

• Enforcement incentives –FAR violations revealed only by FOQA that receive corrective action and do not involve criminal or intentional actions will not be pursued.
• Data protection –FOQA data will be de-identified and protected from Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) release under FAR Part 193. –FAA Legal Office will defend any attempts to override Part 193 by other authorities. (FAA AFS-230)
