Customize Your Flight Safety Event Set


Scatter plot of EGPWS pull-ups by height AGL and distance from runway Automatically report violations of SOPs, aircraft limitations, as well as aircraft system annunciations

"Normalize” to allow comparison between fleets

Adjust thresholds to balance pilot event-review workload with benefit of reports & crew contacts

Adjust automatic data quality monitoring to balance reduction in pilot event-review time with risk of false negatives

Unstable Approach


Custom “Stable Approach” Criteria for FOQA/FDM Trending

Airliner flight deck
Set gates by height above touchdown, time to go, or distance to go

Set event severity by number of criteria violated or by height, time, or distance when last criterion satisfied

Evaluation of Criteria as Potential Predictors of Landing Accidents

Differentiation of IMC vs VMC Criteria

Analysis of Go-Around Response (or lack thereof) to Unstable Approach
