Training Provider Launches Flight Data Monitoring Programme

airBaltic Training, a subsidiary of Latvian airline airBaltic, has launched a Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) programme with FlySto, supporting data-driven pilot training.

FDM is widely used by commercial airlines but remains less common in pilot training organisations, according to airBaltic. It allows flight data from training aircraft to be reviewed, helping instructors identify trends and support student development. FlySto's platform also turns flight data into 3D visualisations and interactive dashboards, letting pilots and instructors review flights on mobile devices.

Vilmantas Mažonas, CEO of airBaltic Training: "By introducing Flight Data Monitoring together with FlySto, we are taking another important step in strengthening our safety culture and improving the quality of pilot training. The programme allows us to learn from real flight data, identify trends earlier, and provide even more valuable feedback to both instructors and students."

The programme supports risk and trend identification, review of training flight performance, and safety and occurrence investigations, in line with Just Culture principles.
