Global leading data analytics solution promotes
a culture of safety and efficiency
Jet Aviation and GE Aviation have signed a long-term agreement
for a comprehensive safety and fleet modernization project
including C-FOQA™. The program covers Jet Aviation’s global fleet
of some 300 aircraft including Airbus, Boeing BBJ, Bombardier,
Dassault, Gulfstream and more.
“The partnership with GE Aviation and their C-FOQA Flight
Efficiency Services data analytics marks a continued commitment Jet
Aviation has in the support of our flight operations, our flight
crews and, most importantly, our customers,” Don Haloburdo, vice
president, Flight Services, Jet Aviation, said. “Because safety
will always be our top priority, we’ve chosen to work with the
industry leader.”
FOQA (Flight Operations Quality Assurance), also commonly
referred to as FDM (Flight Data Monitoring), is the process of
analyzing and reviewing routinely recorded flight data. Airlines
and operators that adopt FOQA are better able to identify and
eliminate potential safety hazards in flight operations.
“Jet Aviation puts safety as a top priority for its business and
its clients”, said Andrew Coleman, chief commercial officer for GE
Aviation’s Digital Group. “Our teams are working together to
implement a leading FOQA safety solution and support services
across Jet Aviation’s fleet to continue promoting safety across our
industry.”
David Dalpiaz, senior director, operations & technical
services, Jet Aviation, added, “GE Aviation’s C-FOQA program is an
integral tool utilized by Jet Aviation to ensure our training
programs and operating policies are not only delivering upon the
most stringent principles of safety and efficiency in the industry,
but are setting new standards of excellence for the years ahead. GE
Aviation's C-FOQA program allows us to carry this to a new
level."
Launched in 2015 in partnership with the Flight Safety
Foundation and now used by more than 300 operators globally, C-FOQA
is GE Aviation’s premier service for helping business jet operators
understand and improve safety. GE’s patented analytics software
fuses meteorological information, navigation data, and terrain
mapping to identify safety events and measurements on thousands of
flights every day.
Since its introduction in the airline industry more than 20
years ago, FOQA has been widely credited with reducing incident and
accident rates at airlines where it has been adopted. In its
2017-2018 Most Wanted List of Transportation Safety Enhancements,
the NTSB encourages aircraft operators to improve safety oversight
of their aircraft by routinely reviewing recorded flight data in a
structured program such as C-FOQA.
