There is no resistance on my part.
I understand how these things may be pored over on bigger aircraft but I am struggling to see how this level of monitoring will make it onto FJ fleets.
If a jet is not overstressed I don’t see anyone paying any interest. Honestly I wouldn’t expect anyone to sit down and look at an FDR trace for an entire sortie to detect any anomalies.
The kind of detail we are talking about (rotate speed) would require a pilot’s input to detect. We already debrief at great length for every sortie. There aren’t enough hours in the day to look at FDR traces as well as everything else.
HUMS data (what I’m used to calling it) is already monitored and would pick up anything untoward. With the best will in the world what engineering team would correlate rotate speeds with control inputs unless specifically asked to look for it?
FDRs are great for a lot of things but I still can’t see any FJ unit in existence catching this particular trend by monitoring FDR traces.
