What aspect of flight operations does a flight data management system NOT focus on?

A flight data management system is primarily designed to gather, process, and manage various types of flight data to enhance safety, efficiency, and operational effectiveness during flight operations. The core functions of these systems include supporting operational decision-making by providing real-time data analysis, performance analysis of the aircraft, and presenting data in a user-friendly format to flight crew and ground personnel.

Weather forecasting, while a critical element in flight operations, is generally not a primary focus of flight data management systems. Instead, weather information may be integrated into operational decision-making processes, but it is obtained from specialized weather data services rather than being directly managed by the flight data management system itself. Thus, while operators may rely on weather data for decision-making, the actual forecasting and interpretation of weather patterns fall outside the specific functions of a flight data management system.
