UK CAA - CAP 739 Flight Data Monitoring - A Guide to Good Practice
This Document outlines good practice relating to first establishing and then obtaining
worthwhile safety benefits from an Operator’s Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) programme.
The Definition of Flight Data Monitoring: Systematic, pro-active and non-punitive use of digital flight data from routine operations to improve aviation safety.
Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) programmes assist an operator to identify, quantify, assess and address operational risks. Since the 1970’s the CAA’s Safety Regulation Group (SRG) has helped develop and support such systems and used FDM information to support a range of airworthiness and operational safety tasks. Through this co-operative development work many farsighted operators have demonstrated the safety benefits of FDM such that the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) have recommended their use for all Air Transport operations in aircraft of over 20 tonnes maximum weight. Since 1st January 2005 FDM has been a standard for all operations over 27 tonnes and is enshrined in UK law. The UK, in continuing its policy of applying ICAO standards, will make this a requirement under UK law and other European regulators are also expected to comply.
The UK Air Navigation Order 2000 (ANO 2000) Article 34A requires the establishment and maintenance of an Accident Prevention and Flight Safety Programme (AP&FSP) and includes the requirement for FDM. The content of safety programmes, including FDM, will need to be confirmed as acceptable by the CAA’s Flight Operations Inspectors.
It is recognised that there is a wide range of operators covered by these requirements and that there is no “one size fits all” system. The size and age of aircraft may determine the parameters available for analysis. The programme effectiveness and efficiency of a small fleet or operation may be helped by pooling analysis within a group of similar operations. While

retaining responsibility for risk assessment and action, some operators may wish to contract out the basic analysis due to lack of expertise or resources.
