Flight Data Monitoring News & Insights
A flight data monitoring programme produces a list of events, and to anyone outside the safety office the word sounds more alarming than it is. This article explains what an event actually is, how one gets triggered, and what the common events mean, grouped by flight phase: takeoff and climb, the cruise and configuration changes, approach and landing, the warnings the aircraft raises itself, and engine limits. It gives no threshold values, because the ones that matter are the ones your own operation sets.
Every FDM programme starts with a recording. A walk through the chain from the recorders on board to an accepted readout: what an FDR and a QAR each do, how frame-based data becomes engineering units, how recordings leave the aircraft, and what to tell a provider first.

A Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) programme is a vital component of an operator’s Safety Management System (SMS), helping identify operational hazards, enhance safety, and improve efficiency. However, managing risks within an FDM programme—such as data loss, ineffective event triggers, and lack of feedback—is essential to maintaining its integrity and effectiveness. This article explores these key risks and provides strategies to mitigate them, ensuring a robust and proactive safety culture.
The integration of Leon Software with AeroSight provides a practical solution for aircraft operators looking to streamline their flight data monitoring processes. It enables users to seamlessly transfer flight data from Leon to AeroSight for analysis, resulting in more comprehensive reports. The data transfer process is both simplified and secured.
AeroSight, today announced the integration with TrustFlight Ltd. (TrustFlight), a technology innovator focused on digitization of the aviation industry, and its industry-leading SMS, QMS, and Risk platform, TrustFlight Centrik 5. The integration with AeroSight will enable flight departments to link FDM/FOQA events to safety reports and conduct root cause analysis within the Centrik safety and quality management system.
We are excited to announce that AeroSight, a provider of Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) software, has achieved ISO 27001 certification. The certification underscores our commitment to information security and management.
AeroSight announced its integration with Avionica's avSYNC, a cloud-based, automated data synchronization service, into its Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) platform. The integration allows AeroSight customers to have their flight data delivered into the AeroSight system automatically after landing, so FDM analysis starts without a manual download.
At AeroSight, our primary goal is to significantly enhance aviation safety for our clients through the meticulous application of Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) programmes. This article explores how FDM, as part of the Alternative Training and Qualification Programme (ATQP), plays a crucial role in pilot training and performance evaluation.
Each Safety Management System/SMS/ needs a process to ensure it achieves the state of safety as defined by its safety performance targets and safety performance indicators. This is delivered by the safety assurance component of the SMS. Safety assurance consists of processes and activities undertaken by the Operator to determine whether the SMS is operating according to expectations and requirements.
Quality and excellence are our top priorities at AeroSight and we are proud to announce that we have achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification, a globally recognized standard for quality management systems. ISO 9001:2015 is an internationally recognized framework that sets out the criteria for a quality management system. It provides a systematic approach to managing our organization's processes to ensure that we consistently deliver products and services that meet or exceed customer expectations.
The AeroSight Pilot Performance module tracks pilot performance over time, helping operators spot trends and areas for improvement. The method follows EASA guidance and was validated on real operational flight data with our clients.
AeroSight is thrilled to announce the launch of its new blog. The articles in this blog will cater to aviation enthusiasts, professionals, and industry insiders, offering engaging articles on flight data monitoring, aviation safety, and exciting company news.
