Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) systems allow pilots to collect and review flight information in real time or after a flight. Modern avionics can provide data similar to airline recorders, including engine parameters and control surface movements. Pilots can use FDM data and overlay it on charts to analyze how precisely they flew routes and approaches. This helps identify areas for improvement. FDM also provides helpful data on aircraft health by monitoring parameters and trends over multiple flights, which can help mechanics identify issues and save owners money on maintenance. In summary, FDM is a useful tool that helps pilots improve skills and maintain aircraft well-being through collection and review of flight data.
