Flight Analytics and FlightPulse agreement: Unlocking the full
potential of flight data to help analysts, management and flight
crews better understand operations and drive efficiency
improvements
GE Aviation and Cathay Pacific Group have signed a five-year
agreement to implement GE’s Event Measurement System (EMS) for
flight analytics and the FlightPulse® pilot app. The digital
technologies will be deployed across various fleet types in Cathay
Pacific Group in September as well as the pilot community later in
2020. The agreement includes Cathay Pacific, Cathay Dragon and Air
Hong Kong.
“Cathay Pacific has established our own efficiency best
practices for years,” said Capt Mark Hoey, GM Operations with
Cathay Pacific. “It is vital to have a flight analytics system that
can easily adapt to our policies and procedures instead of the
other way around. The good connectivity of the GE EMS system
reduces the system migration effort, enables interaction with our
corporate BI tool and maintains continuity to our users. The system
flexibility and extensive library of measurements, parameters and
events reduce the efforts in measuring and monitoring new best
practices. After a substantial trial period with EMS, we concluded
that it was the best fit for our requirements.”
FlightPulse is a mobile app that uses aircraft data and advanced
flight data analytics to enable pilots to securely access their own
flying metrics and trends. FlightPulse can be used to optimize
efficiency, reduce operational risk and improve pilot
awareness.
“We are thrilled to be chosen by Cathay Pacific to expand our
growing digital partnership into the arena of flight analytics,”
said Andrew Coleman, senior vice president and general manager of
GE Aviation’s Digital Group. “We’re merging multiple data sources,
building on a comprehensive set of analytics and expanding with
FlightPulse to help pilots fly more efficiently and reduce carbon
emissions.”
GE Aviation’s flight analytics service uses flight data
generated by the aircraft and merges it with the airline’s
operational data. It applies proprietary data management and
analytics technology to help Cathay Pacific better manage their
aircraft operations and assets, providing previously unavailable
insight into efficiency, flight safety, engineering and
maintenance.
Capt Hoey noted that the FlightPulse tailored information for
individual crew members enables Cathay’s pilots to conduct their
own analyses and compare themselves with their peers. “The
interactive report allows them to review their fuel planning,
collaborate on focus areas and drive behavior changes. The ability
to include safety-related analytics is another added advantage that
enhances SOP implementation and improves safety. We believe
FlightPulse will be welcome and supported by our crew,” said Capt
Hoey.
