System Designed To Help Airlines Reduce Fuel Burn
Gogo has announced that it has partnered with aerospace software specialist PACE to connect PACEs' Pacelab Flight Profile Optimizer – the leading flight optimization application.
Pacelab Flight Profile Optimizer is a unique decision support tool developed for a pilot's electronic flight bag (EFB) that's designed to continuously evaluate numerous flight data metrics thus optimizing flight paths for maximum efficiency. Under this partnership, the Pacelab Flight Profile Optimizer application will be connected in real time so a pilot will be able to adapt to changing conditions while in flight to reduce fuel burn and to improve on time performance.
This partnership is another example of the value of the connected aircraft and the benefit of having access to real time data and information while in flight.
"By partnering with PACE, we establish a direct relationship to help market and integrate with each other's products while accelerating speed to market and providing a clear path for adoption of this valuable fuel savings tool into airline operations," said Andrew Kemmetmueller, Gogo's vice president of connected aircraft services. "Gogo continues to move beyond the passenger connectivity arena and is rapidly enabling the era of the connected aircraft."
"En-route flight profile optimization enables flight crews to unlock substantial additional fuel savings," said Oliver Kranz, PACE's managing partner. "Many airlines have yet to realize the full potential of the connected EFB, and our partnership with Gogo highlights this attractive business case."
