GE Aviation and Emirates are working together toward adoption of
GE’s electronic Flight Operations Quality Assurance (eFOQA) and
Flight Pulse™ among the Emirates pilot community. The proposed
project plans to start with Emirates fleet of B777 and A380
aircraft and Emirates pilots. Emirates and GE Aviation intend for
FlightPulse and eFOQA to be implemented into Emirates operations in
2020.
“FlightPulse provides pilots with data and analytics to help
them fly more efficiently and help reduce carbon emissions,” said
Andrew Coleman, chief commercial officer for GE Aviation. “By
expanding upon the digital solutions already in use by Emirates,
will enable them to get more benefit from a comprehensive use of
flight analytics and services.”
“We look forward to this partnership as Emirates’ vast
operational experience and expertise combined with GE Aviation’s
strong digital & analytics capability can produce amazing
results for the industry. We are keen on having pilots review their
performance and become more active in achieving best safety
standards while optimizing operations,” said Capt. Hassan
Alhammadi, Divisional Senior Vice President of Flight Operations
for Emirates. “Providing our passengers and crew with the safest
and most comfortable flights is always our priority.”
FlightPulse is a mobile app that uses aircraft data and smart
analytics to enable pilots to access their own flying metrics and
trends. FlightPulse can be used to optimize efficiency, reduce
operational risk, and improve pilot awareness or any other positive
outcome possible through advanced flight data analytics.
GE Aviation’s eFOQA service uses flight data generated by the
aircraft and its systems and applies proprietary data management
and analytics technology to help Emirates better manage their
fleet, providing previously unavailable insight into their
operations.
“We’ve continually invested in the use of data and technology to
inform our operations and are keen to further enhance our safety
and efficiency using the latest technologies. This tool from GE
Aviation will equip us with a very visual application that will
allow our pilots to tap into their own flight data on a per flight
basis,” added Capt. Brian Tyrrell, Senior Vice President, Fleet for
Emirates.
GE’s FOQA analytics service is an online solution for airline
flight data monitoring/FOQA programs. eFOQA provides speed,
accuracy and scalability to proactively manage risk in flight
operations. The core offering provides data ingestion, processing
analytics, and has options for expanded data sources, analytics
editing, and data exporting/integration with systems. The
connectivity suite allows deeper integration of the valuable flight
data and analytics– previously available only to safety analysts -
with other systems in the airlines operations, providing insights
to a range of departments in the airline.
