FDX

Flight Data eXchange (FDX) is an aggregated de-identified database

of FDA/FOQA type events that allows IATA to identify commercial flight

safety issues which may not be visible to an airline with a dataset limited

to their own operations.

Airlines use FDX to identify flight safety issues by querying a shared,

de-identified, database holding a wide range of safety measurements.

IATA uses collated FDX data when working with States to mitigate

safety risks and improve flight efficiency.

For example, airspace redesigns have been carried out to mitigate

mid-air collision risk.

FDX What is FDX?

FDX How does it work?

Raw data from the aircraft

is downloaded routinely

for FOQA/FDM/FDA

In FDX, airlines submit flight

data to IATA*

where it is processed using a

common event set,

de-identified results are

integrated into a database with

inputs from multiple

operators,

to generate global trends,

rates and training materials

and to support advocacy work

Data is processed

internally by the airline

or its service provider or

Flight Data Connect

for FOQA/FDM/FDA

Airline A

Airline B

(*) IATA works with Flight Data Services as its collaborative partner for FDX data processing. Data is displayed only when there

are at least 3 operators with the same aircraft type. De-identification includes: no airline information is available, the tail numbers

and the flight numbers are written off, the flight date is set to the first day of the month.

August 2017

Flight Data Exchange (FDX) In July 2017, a brand new interactive website with

much improved displays and querying tools was

launched.

Currently, more than a dozen different events are

displayed by location including Ground Proximity

Warning System (GPWS/TAWS), Traffic Collision

and Avoidance System (TCAS) events, Wind shear

warnings, Unstable approaches, Go-arounds, and

high tailwind landing events.

Website allows FDX member to compare own data

against regional or global event rates.

SIDs/STARs modified

Key point: issue known

previously by individual airlines,

but aggregate data drove

change

How is FDX used?Mitigation of mid-air collision risk Colombian Airspace

Similarly to the Sao Paulo TMA

example, aggregate data identified

a high density of TCAS

occurrences

Airlines and IATA approached the

State ANSP (RAISING

AWARENESS)

Currently work is underway to

modify airspace

Key point: issue known previously

by individual airlines, but

aggregate data drove change

How will GADM been used?Support IATA State Safety Information Program (SSI)

For Sate Safety Programs:

Provide aggregate, de-identified GADM information

Measure Safety Performance at State level

Allow Sates to benchmark against global

performance

Share the INFORMATION not DATA

Facilitate global alignment of metrics and multi-

national cooperation
