Polaris Aero has launched advanced features for&nbsp;its FlightRisk safety app, expanding its Vocus app suite of aviation safety software. FlightRisk is designed to raise pilots’ awareness of potential aircraft, airfield, environmental, and human hazards that are relevant to the flight with built-in advisories generated by an advanced rules engine.
“Using FlightRisk’s extensive library of rule-trigger conditions, pilots and dispatchers can supplement these built-in assessment advisories with their own custom advisories,” said Steve Bruneau, Polaris v-p of aviation services. “FlightRisk assessments go beyond traditional hazard scoring by giving pilots clear, contextual information to improve awareness and make better decisions. Polaris Aero understands the value of safety collaboration, and we are working on expanding sharing functionality within the Vocus application suite. Customers have asked for sharing features&nbsp;and we’ve delivered.”
Advisory sharing provides a way to increase pilot knowledge of airfields or procedures with which they are unfamiliar and allows new pilots to benefit from the knowledge of more experienced pilots.&nbsp;“FlightRisk rule sharing not only benefits your operation, but enhances risk mitigation for the entire business aviation community,” said Andrew Sedlacek, a user of the app and the safety manager for H-E-B Flight Operations.
