Qantas and GE Aviation have announced plans to develop a new module for FlightPulse™, a digital application to improve safety and operational decision making for airline pilots.
This follows the launch of the FlightPulse™ app in 2017, a flight analytics tool which uses recorded aircraft data to enable pilots to securely access their individual operational efficiency metrics and trends after each flight, helping to reduce significant amounts of fuel as well as carbon emissions.
The new module will provide rich historical data for pilots to identify any safety-related or general traffic flow considerations, and help minimise fuel burn, at specific airports or runways. Pilots will be able to access the data before each flight to help with their decision making.
The app is currently in the design phase and GE has been working closely with Qantas pilots to understand their needs.
