Selects FlyteAnalytics To Enhance Collegiate Flight Training Program

Florida-based computer consulting firm CAPACG announced Wednesday that Kansas State University has selected FlyteAnalytics for its fleet of training aircraft. FlyteAnalytics is a comprehensive cloud-based flight data analysis tool designed specifically for aircraft fleets equipped with Garmin G1000 or other integrated flight decks.

Kansas State University’s Aviation Department will deploy FlyteAnalytics on its Cessna 172 Skyhawk aircraft, enabling the collegiate flight training organization to launch an internal Flight Operational Quality Assurance (FOQA) program. 

Kansas State Aviation Department Head and Applied Aviation Research Center Executive Director  Dr. Kurt Barnhart said, “CAPACG’s FlyteAnalytics provides a cost-effective FDM solution that benefits K-State’s students and faculty. Collecting, processing and analyzing flight data will enhance the flight training experience and provide additional insight to improve our already safe operation.” CAPACG CEO Larry McCarroll adds, “A solid FDM program is a crucial part of a SMS providing risk management and safety assurance.  FlyteAnalytics compliments a SMS and the state-of-the-art analysis tool has the ability to process large quantities of flight data from current and future technically advanced aircraft types without the need for adding costly hardware.” 

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 per second.

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 per second.
