This project seeks to examine the current state of the art in rotorcraft flight data monitoring (FDM) products and services, implement a system for data collection and analysis, and identify shortcoming with corresponding means of improvement as supported by data analysis and engagement with subject matter experts. More specifically, the research objectives of this project are to: (1) benchmark the current state of the art of rotorcraft FDM products and services as a voluntary mechanism for safety; (2) enable the procurement of an integrated rotorcraft FDM database and data analysis capability, secure the collection of FDM data for analysis, and establish connectivity and access to this resource for participating research parties and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); (3) review the current events, parameters, and corresponding exceedances and recording rates of rotorcraft FDM systems, identify additional ones whenever needed, and synthesize a recommended minimum standard FDM list vetted by stakeholders; and (4) disseminate results of this investigation and promote the adoption and utilization of FDM as a means for improving safety.
Research Partners for this project include the Helicopter Association International and CAE Flightscape. |
