Flight Data Monitoring Systems Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Need for Aircraft Safety Solutions

The aviation industry is witnessing a huge adoption of data analysis owing to the rising integration of blockchain, the Internet of Things (IoT), automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and big data analytics. The advanced software integration in aircraft systems is boosting aircraft performance and safety and reducing maintenance costs. The predictive analysis performed using flight data is helping aircraft operators to improve the safety of flight operations. The enhanced storage capacity of the hardware and integration of advanced software tools are boosting the flight data monitoring (FDM) systems performance. The insightful data achieved through flight monitoring devices helps aircraft operators improve operational efficiency and safety and reduce maintenance costs. The data would allow the operators to identify areas of operational risk by highlighting occurrences of non-standard, unusual, or unsafe circumstances. Thus, with the help of this data, preventive actions can be taken to mitigate the risk of unsafe events.

Increasing Demand for Flight Data Monitoring (HFDM) Systems in Helicopter Fleet

The demand for operational safety is surging in the rotary-wing aircraft sector, specifically for helicopters used in public and private services. To meet this emerging demand, market players are introducing advanced helicopter flight data monitoring (HFDM) systems and services. Further, the increasing ratio of fatal accidents registered by the USHST is supporting the adoption of HFDM systems to improve operational safety. For instance, the USHST strongly recommends HFDM in order to prevent fatal rotorcraft accidents triggered due to unintended instruments, meteorological conditions, loss of control in flight, and low altitude. According to the USHST, the FDM solution benefits helicopter operators by improving safety by collecting data on normal and off-nominal operations. Responding to the need for operational safety, leading market players are introducing advanced HFDM solutions for helicopter fleet operators. For instance, in January 2021, Bell Textron Inc.—a company of Textron Inc.—introduced a new supplemental type certificate for a newly developed device, QuantiFLY. This new aircraft device is a lightweight and fully automatic flight data monitoring solution designed for Bell 407GXi and Bell 429 aircraft. This smart helicopter solution offers actionable data to enhance flight experience and greater visibility into flight operations for safety drives.
