I haven't found much literature on this subject on the web. E.g., what parameters are captured in the FDM, what is the process to download & analyze the data, what types of technical issues can be detected or anticipated based on the data, etc.
(A related question is whether AOG desks use / can use aggregate analytics to make inventory decisions).
Any pointers & help greatly appreciated!
Hi,
The data recorded varies from aircraft type but there are mandatory parameters which are recorded as a minimum, I believe these will be stipulated in cs25 but someone will correct me if not.
Data can be downloaded as a scheduled task or at request using a piece of kit. Data can also be sent via recorder wirelessly or via a memory card.
The data can be used by Engineering to detect excessive accelerations or speeds for the flight configurations etc.
I would say for AOG desk it would be better to use system data transmitted by acars type systems for spares positioning.
