C-FOQA data provides measurements for Flight Safety management.

Statistics show how your operation is performing compared with other similar operators, and whether levels of safety are improving or diminishing.

C-FOQA data can also be used to direct your training activities. Rather than training in preparation for possible areas of risk, you can concentrate on the actual identified high risk areas.

The outcome? More effective safety management and specialized training.

The most common way to retrieve flight data from an aircraft is via a Quick Access Recorder with removable media (disks or data cards). There are also wireless systems that automatically transfer data after a flight. An alternative method is via a hand held download unit, which can also prove more cost effective, but is generally more time-consuming due to technical issues that can arise. We can offer advice on the best solution for your operation.

There are many ways in which C-FOQA can save you money.

1. An accident may be avoided
2. Engine data may be extracted from the flight data recorder and processed through an engine monitoring program, reducing engine trend costs, and possibly extending the life of the engine
3. Insurance costs may be reduced if an operator can show that they can quantify their safety levels and demonstrate that they are proactive in managing safety
4. Preventative maintenance and repair costs
5. FDS also offers a Fuel Conservation Program that achieves real savings in fuel consumption
