Analysing flight data is a crucial aspect of safety assurance, and many operators closely monitor their daily flight operations to identify any exceedances and mitigate potential risks. While commercial off-the-shelf software is available to support flight data monitoring (FDM), it often falls short when it comes to addressing complex flight operational issues. That’s where NLR comes in – our team provides additional analysis capabilities and operational expertise to help you gain deeper insights into your safety performance and better understand the risks associated with your flight operations.
By leveraging our expertise, you can uncover more information from your flight data, integrate it with other data sources, and gain a better understanding of the factors behind your FDM and FOQA results. Our data-driven approach also enables you to conduct risk assessments and identify areas for improvement, such as airline fuel efficiency, ultimately enhancing the safety and efficiency of your flight operations.
NLR can support you with:
- Capabilities to collect, process and store flight data, and to fuse flight data with other data sources such as weather or airport data for an integrated analysis
- Customisable analytics of flight- and safety data. Varying from statistical analysis of the results to detailed flight data analysis using advanced data processing algorithms
- Analytics combined with a thorough understanding of the aircraft systems and operations, which provides meaningful context to the flight data analysis and the interpretation of results.
- Technical support and advanced analysis (including AI) for FDM in case an operator needs to better understand or solve complex flight operational issues
- Support with flight data analysis that goes a step further than the Flight Data Monitoring software applications
- Conducting flight data analysis in support of safety investigations, safety studies and risk assessments
- Tailor-made organisational advice for implementing and running an FDM program
- Airline fuel efficiency support, including fuel consumption analysis based on flight data
Track record
NLR has over 15 years of experience in flight data analysis and flight data monitoring. We have supported various clients with flight data analysis, for example the Royal Netherlands Air Force, the Dutch Civil Aviation Authority, the Federal Aviation Authorities (FAA) and airlines.
