Moment of truth for L3Harris FDM platform
Flight data monitoring is a critical tool in mitigating risks for helicopter operators and enhancing safety. L3Harris Technologies and Truth Data have come together to promote FDM across the industry.

L3Harris Technologies and Truth Data, based in Fort Worth, Texas, have signed an agreement to improve helicopter aviation safety by promoting helicopter flight data monitoring. Truth Data will utilise L3Harris’ scalable flight data analysis platform and benchmarking capabilities to enable customers to better identify safety issues and reduce risks.

“Combining our two companies’ capabilities will help improve helicopter safety and benefit the entire aviation industry,” says Vince Kerr, VP and GM of flight data services, L3Harris. “Our agreement will help expand the overall flight database, particularly for helicopter flights, and enable customers to identify safety or operational issues.”
