Flight Safety Foundation Promotes Flight Data Monitoring; Information Protection
Keeping information flowing is vital to safety enhancement

The Flight Safety Foundation is back at EBACE 2015 with updates on some of its most recent focused activities. Founded in 1947, FSF (Booth E095) is an independent, non-profit international organization focused on research, education, advocacy and publishing–all dedicated to improving aviation safety at all levels. This year, FSF’s senior director, business development and membership Susan Lausch will be here in Geneva promoting several top-of-mind programs and initiatives for EBACE visitors and participants.

At the head of the list is FSF’s Global Safety Information Project. A pet project of Peter Stein, chairman of FSF’s business advisory committee, the project aims to leverage the benefits of expanded flight data monitoring (FDM). The principles of FDM center on collecting hundreds of parameters of flight data collected from flight data recorders, distilling the information and making it available to participating members for their own analysis. “We’re urging more business aircraft operators to contribute data via FDM recorders and share their data for the greater good,” said Stein, who is passionate about the programs potential to improve business aviation safety
