What is flight data monitoring?
Flight Data Monitoring FDM is the process of collecting flight data from aircraft, process it on a computer system and discover events and findings related to safety relevant topics. Analysis of the generated data-output is performed and presented is a user friendly way by means of reports, statistics, 3D animations.
what is flight data monitoring
Flight Data Monitoring (FDM), also known as Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA), is a process used to collect, analyze, and monitor flight data from large aircraft.
data mining
Data mining is the process of analyzing massive volumes of data to discover business intelligence that can help companies solve problems, mitigate risks, and seize new opportunities.
flight data decoding
Flight data is usually recorded in a predefined standard such as ARINC717. By using such encoding, the amount of data to be stored is reduced and also only readable by entities having access to the decoding tables (Logical Frame Layout).
