Podcast: Flight Data Monitoring Benefits

Nov. 14, 2022

Flight data monitoring (FDM) can help identify potential issues with your aircraft and pilots before they become bigger problems. To be fully effective, however, FDM requires commitment and buy-in from across your flight operation. “You have to understand why you want that [FDM] program,” emphasizes pilot and aviation safety manager Morgan Bonde. “It has to be rooted in continuous improvement, and that needs to be from a leadership perspective, from a safety program perspective and from the flight deck and pilot perspective.”

In this episode of NBAA’s “Flight Plan,” host Rob Finfrock speaks with:
  • Morgan Bonde, international captain and aviation safety manager, and recipient of NBAA’s 2022 Dr. Tony Kern Professionalism in Aviation Award
  • Jason Greenleaf, director of safety, Jet It
