  1. Flight Data Analysis Program Workshop November 12 – 13, 2014 Seoul, ROK

  2. The Way We Were February 29, 1996

  3. WestJet In 18 Short Years • Taken delivery of 108 Boeing Next Generation 737 aircraft and 14 Bombardier Q400 NextGen. • Grown to more than 90 destinations in over 20 countries. • Launched WestJet Vacations in 2006. • Launched WestJet Encore in 2012.

  4. WestJet 767 Coming in 2015

  5. WestJet Codeshare partnerships

  6. WestJet Company Safety Promise

  7. WestJet Safety Management System (SMS) Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) 2003 Safety Management System (SMS) 2005 Safety Reporting System Line Operations Safety Audit (LOSA) 2006 / 2012

  8. Line Operations Safety Audit (LOSA)

  9. Line Orientated Safety Audit (LOSA) Safety Programs • A LOSA utilizes trained flight deck “peer observers” and voluntarily collects data that maintains confidentiality. • LOSA data highlights both operational strengths and weaknesses during “normal” operations without relying on adverse safety events. • LOSA is considered an ICAO best practice and an effective tool in the SMS tool kit.

  10. Safety Hazard Reports

  11. Safety Reporting Canadian Aviation Daily Occurrence Reports (CADOR)

  12. Canadian Aviation Daily Occurrence Reports (CADOR) Occurrence Summary Narrative Example: A WestJet Boeing 737-7CT (C-FWAO/ WJA187) from Calgary, AB (CYYC) to Edmonton, AB (CYEG) initiated a missed approach for Runway 12 due to being too high on the approach. Landed safely at 0530Z. No operational impact.

  13. Flight Data Monitoring (FDM)

  14. WestJet Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) What How Why

  15. WestJet Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) De-identified Data Statistical reports Trending Performance analysis Gatekeeper Program Identified data crew contacts 3 step process (if required)

  16. Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) Overview • WestJet was the first airline in Canada to fully implement a FDM program; Q1 2003. • WestJet’s FDM program is a component of our SMS.

  17. Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) Objective • Primary objective of WestJet’s FDM program: • To identify operating trends which indicate existing or future risks to flight safety and to resolve them in a proactive manner. • Secondary and tertiary objectives: • Development and improvement of crew standard operating procedures (SOPs) and training programs. • Improve operational efficiencies – procedural and operational such as fuel monitoring. • Aid in the effective reliability and maintenance of our fleet. • Validation of the WestJet Required Navigation Performance (RNP) program.

  18. Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) Data Analysis • “Identified” data is first reviewed by a pilot association “gatekeeper” who will initiate a crew call for any exceptional operational deviations. • FDM is not intended to monitor the performance of individual pilots; access to identifying data strictly limited to: • three WestJet pilot gatekeepers; • an FDM analyst; and • the Manager, Flight Safety (FDM Program Manager) • Identifying information from the database will be deleted within two months of capture – all remaining analysis is of “de-identified” data.

  19. Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) Data Analysis • Event sets are published to the pilot group for transparency – pilot support of an FDM program is its greatest asset.

  20. Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) Data Analysis • One of the successful programs utilizing FDM data is the management of de-stabilized approaches. • Boeing defines a stabilized approach as meeting the criteria below no later than 1,000 feet above field elevation: • Aircraft in the final landing configuration; (gear down and landing flap) • Power setting appropriate for aircraft configuration; • Airspeed no greater than target +20 knots and trending towards target; and, • On glide-path or assumed 3 degree glide-path.

  21. Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) Data Analysis • Boeing de-stabilized criteria are built into FDM event sets. • 1000 series events capture 1000 feet to 500 feet; 4000 series events capture below 500 feet.

  22. Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) Summary • A successful FDM/FOQA program will: • Help maintain effective safety barriers. • Help identify and determine underlying causes of procedural deviation. • Provides rich data to improve and/or validate training programs, operating procedure changes, maintenance programs and operational efficiency initiatives. • Data tells the what – not the why; it is important that flight data forms an input alongside the many complimentary safety programs, ensuring the best safety outcomes possible.

  23. Safe Management of Change WestJet Safety and Risk Update 2014 • Split Scimitar Winglets beginning to be installed on B738 fleet. • The ventral fin winglet will contact the ground with a body pitch angle of 10 degrees and a body roll angle of 7 degrees. • Use of flight data analysis to validate risk exposure. • Similar data analysis used in SOP development for the introduction of first -800 and tail strike risk.

  24. Thank you! • FDM is one of the many tools in the SMS tool kit. • FDM provides an effective methodology for: • Peer-to-peer review of unstable approaches. (gatekeeper program identified data-confidential) • De-identified data for system wide analysis. • De-identified data to assist with management of change. • Identified and de-identified data mutually benefits both the management and pilot groups- this is dependent on transparency and trust!
