Why is flight data monitoring important?
With the aid of flight data monitoring, airlines can identify, assess and eliminate operational risks. This can be used to facilitate a range of aviation airworthiness and operational safety tasks, as well as making processes more efficient.
Furthermore, Flight Data Monitoring enables the reduction of flight accidents, a more efficient management of fuel consumption, less unnecessary maintenance procedures and repairs and all in all a very suitable and helpful tool for early detection and prevention of hazards.

What are the benefits of Flight Data Connect?
Our innovative, user-friendly, web-based platform is the most advanced of its kind. Secure yet accessible anytime, anywhere, its fully-automated data transfer enables the fastest processing and information delivery on the market.
Utilizing Flight Data Connect delivers a number of other benefits to your operation. These include the fact that it is a cost-effective and efficient way of identifying urgent maintenance issues as well as eliminating the need for internal flight data analysis expertize and processing software. Further benefits of Flight Data Connect Services include ensuring that your organization meets the safety policy requirements of reputable flight authorities. These include IATA and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
The speed enables great scalability, paving the way for billions of flights to be housed on the system.
Advanced analytics supports actionable insights from large data sets
Making sense of vast, disparate amounts of data is a core function of our advanced flight data analysis tool. Accurate information is generated, using statistical modelling and machine learning, in formats that can be visualized and understood easily. This allows decisions to be made quickly, based on data. Operators can confidently assess equipment performance, identify safety risks or inefficiencies and implement preventative maintenance to reduce operational delays and increase safety and efficiency.
Automated inspection alerts appear within one hour of download and any significant events will validated by an analyst within one working day.
Ability to fuse multiple data sources
The state-of-the-art software fuses together information from either the Flight Data Recorder or the Quick Access Recorder (QAR) via the Data Transfer Unit (DTU), with other data such as the take-off or landing airport, flight operations, routing, weather etc.
The use of multiple data sources enables solutions to be accurate and comprehensive. Easy-to-understand data visualizations infuse clarity and context through charts, interactive graphs, flight playbacks and cockpit displays.
Informed decisions are made through integrated data science services across our aviation portfolio including evidence-based training and avionics equipment, providing operators and manufacturers insights across their operations.
Unique benchmark capabilities
With over 16 million flights in the database, a knowledge pool of historical data provides a platform for the only global safety benchmarking service in the world.
Created around this information universe, de-identified comparative statistics show performance in relation to other operators or internally between fleets. It provides senior management with invaluable information on safety-specific issues and significantly aids the decision-making process.
Flight Data Connect is one of the industry’s leading flight data analysis systems with advanced data sharing features. It powers both Flight Data Connect and the IATA Flight Data eXchange (FDX) program. Using Flight Data eXchange , critical areas of concern for aviation safety can be pointed out, enabling airlines to pinpoint safety issues in commercial air traffic for standard aviation risk areas. Through connecting to this powerful data sharing network you can benefit from benchmarking and advanced statistics and trends.
What aircraft types can be included in Flight Data Connect?
All aircraft types are compatible with the Flight Data Connect. As long as the aircraft models have the correct Quick Access Recorders (QAR) or alternatively downloadable Flight Data Recorders, they can be included in Flight Data Connect.

Data Transfer
Our flight data analysis package incorporates a Data Transfer Unit (DTU) to quickly and easily upload data. A DTU will use an automatic data download process, eliminating human error when sending data.
The DTU is provided on a lease basis so that L3Harris takes full responsibility for the operation of the unit. Alternatively, a software only option is available.
The lease will include:
• Supply of DTU including all software
• Supply of procedure manual
• Software maintenance and support
• Hardware maintenance by dispatch of a replacement unit within 24 hours
Modifications/STC
We offer the following design, modification and installation services for flight data recording systems:
- EASA Approved installation design
