Flight Data Services (FDS) held its Fifth User Group Meeting in Portsmouth, United Kingdom between the 7th and 9th November 2006.

The meeting brought together 18 Flight Safety Officers from FDS customer airlines to discuss safety issues in concern and learn about FDS system and service developments. The customers also had a chance to discuss individual configuration changes with FDS Flight Data Analysts.

As well as presentations from the customer airlines on various aspects of FDM the meeting was addressed by guest speaker Brian McDonnell. His talk on Investigative Interview Techniques will help the Flight Safety Officers who attended to get the most out of their aircrew interviews.

FDS would like to thank all the guest speakers for their contribution to the meeting and is looking forward to hosting the next meeting in April 2007.
