CAPACG and AvConnect have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to create a cloud-based flight data analysis tool specifically for aircraft fleets equipped with Garmin G1000 and other integrated flight decks.  The partnership began in late 2011, as the team collaborated on a federally funded research project to analyze Garmin G1000 flight data for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU).

CAPACG President Scott Meacham said, “The ERAU research project formed the basis for a great partnership with AvConnect and identified a need for an analysis tool to process large quantities of flight data from current and future technically advanced aircraft types.”  AvConnect CEO Erik Murrey adds, “this agreement joins two companies that complement each other very well – AvConnect has a solid track record of managing large volumes of flight data very quickly in the cloud, while CAPACG is a pioneer in developing processes and tools to analyze airplane and helicopter flight data to economically enhance safety, maintenance, operations and training.”

CAPACG’s FlyteAnalytics product – powered by AvConnect – will allow fleet operators of Garmin G1000 and other glass cockpit-equipped aircraft to employ proactive flight data monitoring programs without the added expense, weight or downtime associated with installing lightweight aircraft recording systems (LARS).  In most cases, FlyteAnalytics will be more capable than existing LARS products.  As an example, the Cessna 172 equipped with the Garmin data-logging feature records 64 parameters at a rate of once/sec.

FlyteAnalytics is easily adaptable to other platforms such as the Garmin G1000HTM-equipped Bell 407GX (the optional GDL59H enables Wi-Fi connectivity). Currently, FlyteAnalytics has been programmed with algorithms to analyze flight data from Cessna 172/182/206, Cirrus SR20/22, Diamond DA40/42 and Piper single and multiengine aircraft.  The production version of the AvConnect analysis tool has the capability of processing over 100 hours of flight data/sec.
