Global leading data analytics solution promotes a culture of
safety and efficiency
Air Transport Services Group (ATSG) selected GE Aviation for a
comprehensive digital agreement including FlightPulse® and eFOQA.
The program gives ATSG subsidiary airlines ABX Air, Air Transport
International, and Omni Air International access to advanced
analytics with enriched data sets that will ultimately drive
greater understanding of flight trends. This program implementation
includes the Boeing 777, 767, and 757 aircraft.
“GE Aviation’s FlightPulse and eFOQA are integral tools used by
our airlines to enhance their already rigorous safety programs and
further ensure that our training programs and operating policies
are meeting the highest standards of operational excellence,”
commented Ed Koharik, chief operating officer with ATSG.
FlightPulse is a mobile app that uses aircraft data and smart
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 through
advanced flight data analytics.
“FlightPulse will be used to put actionable and relevant pre-
and post-flight information in pilots’ hands allowing them to
operate at the highest level of effectiveness,” said Andrew
Coleman, GM of the Digital Group for GE Aviation. “When FlightPulse
and eFOQA are combined, quality and accurate data provide a major
enabler to improving safety, efficiency and sustainability.”
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.
eFOQA is GE Aviation’s premier service for helping operators
around the world 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 eFOQA.
