ACSF Offers Cheaper Flight Data Monitoring Solution Under New Partnership

Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF), a nonprofit aviation safety organization, has teamed up with AirSync and CloudAhoy in providing a third-party low-cost Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) solution to jet operators.

AirSync will provide members FDM access with flight data collection hardware and connectivity, while CloudAhoy will provide its P-FOQA software for flight data analysis.

The services have been expanded to piston, turbo-prop and light jet operators who don’t have the funds and resources that heavy iron aircraft operators have.

“For a long time, FDM programs have been accessible mostly to medium-to-large cabin aircraft operators,” said Frank Raymond, Director of Safety, ACSF. “This limitation leaves operators of piston, turbo-prop and light jets (who may not have built-in technology), without a cost-effective solution. By partnering with CloudAhoy and AirSync, we’ll provide the benefits of FDM at a much lower cost.”

With CloudAhoy’s data monitoring system, pilots will be able to receive immediate feedback on flight safety and proficiency, and ACSF Safety personnel can aggregate anonymized data across multiple operators, according to Chuck Shavit, Founder and CEO, CloudAhoy.

The ACSF is a nonprofit aviation safety organization with nearly 300 member companies.
