In this partnership, unlike any other in the business aviation
industry, GE Digital will provide data-driven C-FOQA insights to
FlightSafety. FlightSafety will use these insights to enhance
training and ensure pilots are prepared for any possible threat,
before these risks are real. More than 300 operators and 1,000+
aircraft are part of the C-FOQA community, able to make use of
automatic processing of flight data with a library of 200+ events
and 2,000+ measurements that monitor everything from simple
aircraft limitation exceedances to highly advanced risk-based
modeling.
“Actual flight data will allow us to tailor training to address
safety threats before crews even experience them,” said Brad
Thress, President and CEO of FlightSafety International.
“FlightSafety employs a risk- based approach to training and
partnering with GE Digital for their C-FOQA data will have
incredible applications for us on approach stability, touch down
point control, procedure compliance and runway safety, among
others.”
FlightSafety’s Executive Vice President of Safety &
Regulatory Compliance Richard Meikle said, “We aim to train the
most prepared pilots in the industry – proficient simply isn’t
enough. Our partnership with GE Digital will provide evidence of
threats to flight operations through the GE Digital Aviation
Software data to construct precisely targeted scenarios to enhance
safety. That’s much more than just checking boxes to complete
requirements. This is a huge differentiator.”
“GE Digital is honored to partner with FlightSafety to bring
data-based training to corporate aviation,” said Andrew Coleman,
General Manager of GE Digital’s Aviation Software business. “By
applying our flight data expertise and airspace efficiency software
to FlightSafety training, aviation professionals will be able to
identify the safest way in and out of any situation.”
The FlightSafety/GE Digital partnership will promote continuous
improvement to proactively mitigate risks to flight operations.
