There were a few countries (France, India and others) where some form of FDM was mandated in the 1990s, however most of the earlier airlines to use FDM were the large flag carriers who implemented their systems as a part of their individual efforts to improve air safety.

To the end of the 1990s, a resolution was passed at ICAO to introduce a requirement on all member states. As a result of this, from 2005 onwards there has been a significant adoption of FDM as a mandatory requirement is most countries of the world, with the notable exception of the USA where FOQA has been introduced as one of a number of voluntary safety initiatives.

3.6.2 : Recommendation - From 1 January 2002, an operator of an aeroplane of a maximum certificated take-off weight in excess of 20,000kg should establish and maintain a flight data analysis program as part of its accident prevention and flight safety program.

3.6.3 : From 1 January 2005, an operator of an aeroplane of maximum certificated take-off weight in excess of 27,000kg shall establish and maintain a flight data analysis program as part of its accident prevention and flight safety program.

The FAA approach is quite prescriptive, and some operators may wish to implement FOQA in a way that better suits their organization and without adopting the I&O plan required by the FAA, in which case they can operate their voluntary process without adopting all these regulations.

Flight operational Quality Assurance Program; Final Rule Final Rule for Flight Operational Quality Assurance (FOQA) Programs. A new Subpart I was added to 14 CFR Part 13 which codifies enforcement protection for FOQA programs. This rule became effective November 30, 2001.

You can also find the complete rule and links to view the rulemaking process and comments here. Interestingly, the FAA state in the preamble to the Final Rule that "...it is anticipated that FOQA will be implemented on an industry wide basis in the U.S. within the next twenty years".

(a) The operator shall establish and maintain a flight data monitoring system, which shall be integrated in its management system, for aeroplanes with a maximum certificated take-off mass of more than 27 000 kg.

Accidents normally occur when a number of unfortunate events coincide. Imagine an accident where an aircraft ran off the end of the runway. This might be because the pilot landed faster than normal AND it was raining so the runway was slippery AND a malfunction caused the thrust reversers not to deploy. How can we stop an accident like this? By making sure that nothing that we can control contributes to the sequence of events.

Historically the "Black Box" flight recorder data has only been used after an accident, to find out why an accident occurred. With FDM/FOQA we look at the data on every flight to find if there are any preventable precursors to an accident.

In the imaginary case described above, we cannot prevent rain and slippery runways. We may not be able to prevent the malfunction of the thrust reverser, but if we can make sure that the pilots always land at the correct speed, the three-link chain leading to the accident would be broken.

Flight data is analyzed from every flight and any moments when the aircraft is flying outside specific boundaries are identified. These are termed "events". There are severe events that should never occur, and it is the responsibility of the flight safety organization to address these with the pilot concerned. It is a foundation stone of FDM/FOQA that this is carried out in a non-punitive way, and to achieve this, the results are held in strict confidence.

At a lower level, there are a larger number of events that are only slightly outside normal operation, and we use statistical analysis to examine these for trends. Trends allow the flight safety organization to identify where they should address their actions, and can also focus their training programs.

These are two acronyms for the same thing. Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) is more commonly used in the United States, and Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) elsewhere in the world. Just to add to the confusion, in some references the term Operational Flight Data Monitoring (OFDM) is also used to mean the same thing.

The first step to managing anything is to measure it. FDM/FOQA data provides measurements so that Flight Safety can be managed. Statistics show how your operation is performing compared with other similar organizations, and whether safety is improving or getting worse. FDM/FOQA data can also be used to direct your training activities. Rather than training for what you think are the risk areas, you can concentrate on the identified high risk areas. The outcome? More effective control of safety and more focused training.

This means each of the 189 countries belonging to ICAO has either to introduce this into national law, or file a derogation stating why they do not consider this to be a requirement in their country. At present the USA has made FDM/FOQA a voluntary program, but most other nations have introduced a legal requirement for FDM, or are working towards this position.

The most common ways are with a Quick Access Recorder that has some sort of removable media (disks or data cards). There are also wireless systems that transfer data after flight automatically. FDS can advise you about the best solution for your aircraft.

Analysis can be done by a department within an airline (in-house), or outsourced to a service provider. FDS is the world's largest provider of outsourced FDM/FOQA services, believing that outsourcing is the most cost effective method of carrying out FDM/FOQA, by reducing operator overheads of training and recruitment of personnel, leave and sickness cover, provision and maintenance of software and hardware, and the use of flight crew on the routine tasks of the FDM/FOQA process.

This year, individuals benefited from a highly competitive Marketplace. Ninety-two percent of HealthCare.gov enrollees had access to plans from three or more insurance companies. Also, new standardized plan options, called Easy Pricing plans, were available in 2023 through HealthCare.gov, which helped consumers compare and select plans.
