Continuing its push for small operators to adopt flight data monitoring (FDM) programs, the NTSB released a video highlighting the benefits and possible solutions for those aircraft operators. The 30-minute video provides a synopsis of a roundtable the Safety Board held in October entitled “Practical Flight Data Monitoring Solutions for Small Operators.” The full two-hour meeting, moderated by NTSB vice chair Bruce Landsberg, is available online as well.

The goal of the roundtable was to show how small and medium-size operators can use data to prevent crashes and improve safety, Landsberg told attendees. He added that the NTSB has recommended that the FAA require FDM for Part 135.
