FDM…The Silent Mentor ^®

Powered by CAPACG, Baldwin is the first and only company to offer a complete safety package where data from operators and aircraft can be utilized to reduce operating cost while improving safety. Flight Data Monitoring (FDM, also known as FOQA -- Flight Operational Quality Assurance) is a critical component of a complete Safety Management Program.

Coupled with an organizational SMS, this indispensable flight risk tool allows operators to identify threats and mitigate risks associated with their aircraft flight and maintenance operations. FDMplus™, using objective data from aircraft, will provide improved visibility into flight operations, pilot procedures and standardization, maintenance practices, and insights into the impact of air traffic and airport operations on safety, economy and convenience of operation. FDMplus™ includes recording hardware, analysis and replay software, and comprehensive data analysis.

FDMplus™ benefits include:

• Raises safety awareness level using objective aircraft data
• Provides meaningful feedback for improved operations, training, maintenance and flight safety
• FAA Incentives: For approved FOQA programs, AFS-230 has established a position that employees and operators are protected from the use of flight data in FAA enforcement actions and disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act
• Insurance premium reduction consideration
• Cost savings: Preventative maintenance programs, including component life monitoring and fuel usage analysis
• Increased resale value – FDM reports provide a history of how an aircraft has been operated

FDMplus™ Cost:

FDMplus™ provides a comprehensive flight data analysis and reporting service with detailed monthly reports and special case studies for one low monthly fee. Depending on fleet type, FDM equipment cost will vary. Today's technology, microprocessor miniaturization, sensor, avionics, and cost improvements provide opportunities to utilize these tools at several orders of magnitude lower than current transport category equipment.
