Purdue University to Install GA-FDM Flight Data Monitoring for Training Aircraft Fleet
Provides first-ever Internet-enabled FDM systems for US Collegiate Flight Program
In a first for accredited collegiate flight training programs, GA-FDM (http://www.ga-fdm.com) announced at the National Training Aircraft Symposium today that Purdue University's Department of Aviation Technology (http://www.tech.purdue.edu/at) is factory-equipping its fleet of new Cirrus training aircraft with GA-FDM's predictive Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) and recording systems. The GA-FDM system, already used by corporate and air taxi firms, is modeled on the FAA's Flight Operational Quality Assurance (FOQA) program that has been so successful at the major airlines in improving aviation safety and training, and reducing operational costs.
The GA-FDM system provides a web-enabled Digital Flight Data Recorder with built-in engine trend monitoring, embedded real-time flight analysis, and automatic wireless transfer for uploads via the Internet.
