HFDM/HFOQA features

HFDM/HFOQA enables the identification of major hazards and risks to helicopter operations. Using the web-based system, Flight Data Connect (FDC), operators identify areas of concern, intervene with remedial measures and reduce event occurrence rates. It can enhance operational, maintenance and engineering procedures, as well as overall aviation safety providing objective data that would not otherwise be available. In-depth analysis is available, particularly if there is an incident requiring special attention.
