Helicopters NZ first became aware of Aerobytes following an
exhibition at a safety course. Aerobytes were the only
company able to demonstrate an effective FDM system for
helicopters and have been working closely with Helicopters
NZ since to get their system up and running. This has
included advice on recording hardware that had to be fitted
to the aircraft.
Aerobytes has sold about 60
software licenses in the last three years, mainly to fixed
wing operators. Kevin Martin, Sales Manager of Aerobytes
commented that “Helicopters will become a growing market,
there is now a significant push to improve helicopter safety
and we have the technology to help. FDM/FOQA is often quoted
as being one of the most significant advances in flight
safety in recent years and we can now apply that to
helicopter operators.”
“Some of the things we can
monitor for include: Envelope exceedences for speed, pitch,
roll, G etc, engine and torque exceedences, pilot workload
and inappropriate use of automatics close to the ground or
at low speed. Aerobytes' FDM software is also the only one
that includes quality tools to track and log corrective
actions necessary for effective implementation.“

Dave Henley, Flight Safety Manager for Helicopters NZ, said “The
Aerobytes software is easy to use and very powerful. We are
pleased to be at the forefront of this safety initiative
with regards helicopters and look forward to being able to
reach an even better safety level in the months ahead.”
Helicopters NZ operate a fleet of over 40 helicopters
from various bases in
Australasia
providing oil industry, fire fighting, construction and
general charter services.
Aerobytes supplies and supports flight data monitoring software to rotary
and fixed wing operators around the world.
