Helicopter Flight Data Monitoring

HFDM

At Scaled Analytics, our services are not restricted to fixed wing aircraft. Helicopter operations offer some unique challenges not present in fixed wing operation. From medevac to off-shore oil rig operations, the helicopter environment is quite specialized and requires a special Flight Data Monitoring program – Helicopter FDM or HFDM.

Our advanced Flight Data Monitoring engine allows for customization to meet the unique needs of our helicopter customers. You can utilize one of our existing Helicopter Flight Data Monitoring event sets, or you can work with one of our experienced flight data analysts to develop an event set that meets your specific needs.

Why Helicopter Flight Data Monitoring?

While the nature of helicopter operations is very unique compared to fixed wing operations, many of the benefits of a fixed wing Flight Data Monitoring program extend to that of an HFDM program, namely:

  • Improve safety through objective data analysis and flight review
  • Monitor maintenance events and aircraft systems limitations
  • Identify areas for improvement in SOP’s
  • Improve training programs
  • Utilize flight data for aircraft maintenance troubleshooting

As flight data recording systems on helicopters become more advanced, more operators are benefitting from HFDM programs. At Scaled Analytics, we can help you get the most out of your HFDM program, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned HFDM operator.

FDM is an important component of Abu Dhabi Aviation’s Safety Management System, and it is equally important that we partner with a service provider like Scaled Analytics to meet our operational requirements.

Currently, Scaled Analytics provides FDM support for our AW139 and B412 helicopter fleets. Since implementation in early 2019, Scaled Analytics has delivered great technical assistance and prompt customer service to resolve the few issues that normally arise from time to time.

Training was tailored to our needs, and delivered competently through online sessions.
