172_driver, thanks for your comments. A good FDM Program will pick up many details of the operation to provide a highly-detailed picture. Does your FDM Program have a pilot gatekeeper who can identify crews and contact them for further information on a flight?
Otto Throttle, thanks also for your insights. That's how FDM Programs are supposed to run - the "wiggle room" recognizes that no two operations go the same way and almost all are within safe boundaries and SOPs, even as they may vary in handling by different crews. It takes an experienced eye to know when something truly out of the ordinary has occurred, and that's what makes the value of the crew contact so high.
Given this and your understanding of flight data monitoring, what would do you believe the pilots would think of a process that required a crew contact for every FDM Event and not just the significant ones?
