Appareo Offers Releases Envision Software Upgrade

Web-Based Flight Data Analysis Software Can Now Accept Flight Data From Other Devices

Appareo has released a major architectural upgrade to Appareo EnVision, the company's analysis software system for Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) or Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) programs. Appareo EnVision is a web-based application that allows fleet operators to access past and current flight data, generate detailed reports, and trend the safety improvements in their operations.

Prior to this release, the software accepted flight data captured by Appareo's Vision 1000 cockpit recorder. With this architectural rewrite, the Appareo EnVision web app can now accept flight data from other devices, including other Appareo flight data recorders and even third-party sources.

"While many flight analysis applications require significant technical capability to operate with effectiveness, EnVision was built with a focus on ease of use" said David Batcheller, President & CEO of Appareo. The software provides deep access to raw data while delivering it in a simple, clean interface to automatically filter flight data and identify flights that require further review.

FDM and FOQA programs have proven effective in improving safety and decreasing the occurrence of incidents or accidents when the program follows three simple practices: 1) identify deviations, 2) implement corrective actions, and 3) measure results.

Identifying deviations from standard operating procedures (SOP) is not an indication of irresponsible or deliberately malicious behavior by pilots. Deviations often occur because humans are susceptible to the "normalization of deviance." This phrase describes a process in which deviance becomes normalized if it doesn't result in an instantaneous negative consequence. While some operating procedures may seem inconvenient or unimportant, the right mix of variables could result in a deviance turning deadly. That is the reason behind the expression, "aviation regulations are written in blood."

Data is transferred from an aircraft to a local computer via SD card, then uploaded to Appareo servers for analysis. That transmission can happen instantaneously or it can be scheduled for a different time of day, based on the user's preferences. "The scheduling feature was developed for our customers who have operations in remote locations with limited internet bandwidth," said Batcheller. "They appreciate the ability to schedule their data file transmission to take place during periods of low network activity."

Once data is received, the EnVision software parses all flight data against customized event triggers that were defined by the user based on their organization's flight operating procedures. The process of configuring those event triggers is one of EnVision's most powerful features; using a simple interface and drop-down menu, users can define the events that are important to monitor, and specify the parameters that indicate when a flight has deviated from flight ops.

Detailed reports are easily generated from those events, delivering the information that operators want to monitor and the ability to trend that information over time. Comprehensive data for every flight is archived on the Appareo servers, giving customers convenient online access to their data whenever it's needed.

Appareo EnVision is offered as a per-aircraft subscription service with no user limits, and includes the hosting of stored flight data. To learn more about Appareo's turnkey flight data monitoring solutions, visit Appareo.com/FDM-FOQA
