Flight Data Services (FDS), a leading provider of flight data monitoring services, was faced with the challenge of translating raw black box flight data into operational business intelligence. This process is crucial for an aircraft operator’s safety program as it allows for the identification of trends and thorough investigation of minor incidents. These insights enable safety managers to improve operational procedures and training, raise awareness of safety issues within the operation, and assist management in making informed business decisions. FDS needed a solution that would allow them to provide their customers with a secure report portal from which they could instantly and interactively generate their own reports and drill down into data.
