AeroSight's Pilot Performance module tracks adherence to standard operating procedures over time so operators can spot trends and target training. The method follows EASA guidance and was validated on real operational flight data.
The AeroSight Pilot Performance module is used to track pilot performance over time, helping to identify trends or areas of improvement.
The method follows EASA guidance and industry best practice, and was validated on real operational flight data in close cooperation with our clients.
Our algorithms involve tracking and analyzing data collected during flight operations, such as fuel consumption, flight time, and other flight activities.
Flight data can be analyzed to identify any trends or patterns in pilot performance and provide an overall view of a pilot’s adherence to operational procedures. The results can then be used to make changes to training practices and procedures to ensure that pilots are meeting company standard operating procedures. Furthermore, Pilot Performance can be used to identify areas in which a pilot may need additional training and thus allowing the Operator to improve its ATQP.
On the dashboard for each pilot - the overall performance rating is presented as an aggregate of all events that have occurred on all flights in the approach phase and all phases also for a selected period. The rating is calculated as percentage of sectors flown without events triggered by sectors flown to the sectors flown for the selected period / flight phase. All AeroSight filtering functionalities for managing flights and events are also available for this module.
The benefit of having these rating statistics is that it represents effectively the events triggered per flight phase taking into consideration sectors flown.
The Pilot Performance module also shows the most frequent events and the airports where they are triggered.
The statistics shown represents trends for minor, major and critical events including availability to drill down to the events parameters and graphics.
The Pilot Performance module together with other awareness or training activities can be very effective in highlighting areas of increased operational risk.

A Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) programme is a vital component of an operator’s Safety Management System (SMS), helping identify operational hazards, enhance safety, and improve efficiency. However, managing risks within an FDM programme—such as data loss, ineffective event triggers, and lack of feedback—is essential to maintaining its integrity and effectiveness. This article explores these key risks and provides strategies to mitigate them, ensuring a robust and proactive safety culture.
At AeroSight, our primary goal is to significantly enhance aviation safety for our clients through the meticulous application of Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) programmes. This article explores how FDM, as part of the Alternative Training and Qualification Programme (ATQP), plays a crucial role in pilot training and performance evaluation.
