Saving fuel directly translates to saving dollars for any flight operation’s bottom line, and the latest release from GE Digital apparently is doing the job for crews using it on Qantas. FlightPulse—announced on March 9—is an app and flight analytics tool that GE Digital developed in concert with Qantas as a way to enhance safety and support operational decision making for pilots. The app uses both airline-specific and pilot-historical data to give pilots the ability to access their own efficiency metrics and trends following every flight—with the goal of increasing fuel efficiency and improving risk management. FlightPulse is built using the Microsoft Azure platform.
