Flight Operation Monitoring Strategy
A FOM Strategy is the flight operations department’s approach to the monitoring of safety related issues. It is the formal link between the risks identified in the Flight Operations Risk Profile and the activities that make up the FOM system. As such, it provides an explanatory summary of, and rationale for, the airline’s FOM activities. It also defines standards by which safety performance can be evaluated. The organizational size of the company, the number of aircraft, and the complexity of the flight operations will guide the contents of the strategy.
The tools and activities described in the strategy must reflect the nature and level of risk identified in the Flight Operations Risk Profile. The FOM strategy will be evaluated to ensure that it is appropriate and that it is being applied.
