Predictive In-Flight Fuel Efficiency Pilot Guidance Solution for all Flight Phases Demo Webinar [SITA OptiFlight Demo – Climb Out, Shortcut Recommendations Enroute; Flight Data; ML Aircraft Performance Models; 4D Weather; EFB Integration; more]

Register to view this On-Demand Webinar (recorded 28th September 2023) to see a demo of the unique SITA OptiFlight solution, which brings real-time data science to the cockpit. As you will see, ahead of each flight, OptiFlight utilizes machine learning to build tail-specific predictive performance models for the aircraft, using historical flight data (inc. airline-specific waypoint-to-waypoint tracks flown), plus accurate 4D weather to determine the optimum fuel saving scenarios for all phases of the flight. The fuel saving scenarios are then translated into easy-to-apply tactical recommendations displayed on the pilot’s existing EFB real-time in-flight, (or before the flight via the paper briefing package) providing them with the data needed to request shortcuts from ATC in-flight, optimize speeds and altitudes for the climb-out phase, and more. During the Webinar you will be taken on a demo of SITA OptiFlight from a pilot’s perspective, with a focus on climb-out and cruise optimization. You will also see how, after each flight, actual fuel consumed is compared with predictions for detailed fuel savings reports. The data is then used to update the machine-learning model and further optimize accuracy and efficiency for each future flight.  You will also see how OptiFlight is suitable for all airlines and operators worldwide, requires no additional aircraft hardware or IT infrastructure, and can integrate with all OFP sources, as well as EFFs and EFB Apps, and even paper based briefing packages. Finally, you will see some real-world airline case studies and see how OptiFlight allows them to achieve significant fuel savings, optimize efficiency, and reduce emissions for each flight.

During this webinar, you will be taken on a demo of SITA OptiFlight from a pilot’s perspective. The following SITA OptiFlight modules will be shown:

  • OptiClimb: Delivers a customized climb schedule to save, on average, 5% of fuel burn.
  • OptiDirect: Provision of shortcut recommendations enroute, based on historical tracks flown and with an indication of fuel and time savings.

The Webinar is divided into 3 key sections:

  1. SITA OptiFlight Demo 1: Climb-out optimization using OptiClimb
    The climb phase consumes a large amount of fuel and can be further optimized. As you will see, thanks to machine learning performance models obtained from historical flight data for each tail, OptiClimb processes flight plan information together with accurate 4D weather forecasts to predict fuel burn in tens of thousands of scenarios for each climb-out. It then recommends the most efficient scenario to the pilots.

    As you will see, OptiClimb works for any type of aircraft, flight planning system or pilot briefing solution whether paper or electronic, with no equipment installation or connectivity required. Pilots receive customized speeds, which they enter into the Flight Management System, and which change at different altitudes for each flight.

  2. SITA OptiFlight Demo 2: Cruise optimization using OptiDirect
    Traditionally, pilots can request from ATC enroute, directs to save time and fuel but they often do not have the relevant tools or data in the cockpit to do so. As you will see OptiDirect recommends shortcuts based on historical tracks flown, with an indication of fuel and time savings. The solution also considers wind and temperature forecasts for the flight to recommend those shortcuts that will save the most on today’s flight.

  3. SITA OptiFlight Cockpit Integrations and Airline Case Studies
    Finally, you will see how SITA OptiFlight easily integrates with paper briefing packages and flight planning systems, and with multiple EFB and EFF apps, including SITA eWAS (SITA’s weather app) and SITA Flight Folder (SITA’s electronic Flight Folder). Lastly, you will see some real-world fuel savings examples from airlines who are using SITA OptiFlight.

Advanced Airline Flight and Fuel Efficiency Projects using Next-Gen Honeywell Flight Efficiency Platform Webinar [Center-of-Gravity Fuel Economy; RNP Approach Procedure Analysis; FMS Savings; Airport Specific RETO Compliance; more]

*Please note: this webinar is for airlines and aircraft operators only

Register to view this On-Demand Webinar (recorded 6th July 2023) and join Honeywell as they showcase how they assist airlines around the world to take their standard best practice fuel and flight efficiency tracking to the next level; assisting them to establish advanced bespoke projects to yield significant fuel and operational efficiency savings. The Webinar begins with Honeywell fuel efficiency experts providing an overview of Honeywell Flight Efficiency, their popular cloud-based, deep data analytics solution, as used by airlines of all sizes and fleet types worldwide to establish a companywide fuel efficiency program, as well as to equip management and flight crews with actionable insights that they can use to reduce fuel consumption and cut carbon emissions with every flight. You will see key features such as the Pilot Connect Mobile App, Dashboards, Data Quality Engine, Advanced analysis, and much more. You will then learn how airlines can use the solution, and Honeywell expertise, to take their fuel efficiency projects to the next level through analysing their unique operations data to identify new ways to save fuel and overcome operational challenges. The Honeywell team will take you through several different use cases including: optimizing Center of Gravity (CoG) before take-off; NextGen FMS savings tracking on Embraer aircraft; Optimizing Required Navigation Performance (RNP) approach procedures using historical flight data; Airport specific RETO Compliance monitoring; and more.

The Webinar is divided into the following key sections:

  • Overview of Honeywell Flight Efficiency and Identifying Advanced Savings
    The Webinar begins with an overview of Honeywell Flight Efficiency, a popular cloud-based, deep data analytics solution, as used by airlines of all sizes and fleet types worldwide (such as British Airways, Japan Airlines, AirAsia, Azul, Air Transat, Wideroe, and more) to establish a companywide fuel efficiency program and equip management and flight crews with specific guidance to pilots, ground personnel and others so that they can make informed decisions regarding fuel loading, taxiing and flight procedures, and plus gauge the impact of decisions affecting fuel economy on other airline priorities, like on-time performance. You will see key features such as the Pilot Connect Mobile App, Dashboards, Data Quality Engine, Advanced analysis, Trajectory Analysis, Statistical Fuel, how to utilize build-in content and drill down to analyse flight events.

    The Honeywell team will then outline how an airline can take a fuel efficiency program to the next level through analysing their unique operations data to identify new ways to save fuel using the Honeywell Flight Efficiency solution.
  • Advanced Use-Case 1: Optimizing Center of Gravity (CoG)
    The first advanced fuel efficiency use case you will see is optimizing the aircraft’s Center of Gravity (CoG). One of the big challenges that airlines face today is knowing exactly how much fuel they could save if they move CoG to the AFT. As you will see Honeywell uses a high-granularity dataset to build a ML model of CoG impact on fuel consumption.  The model is then loaded into the platform to calculate savings.

    The data gathered is the difference between an actual CoG and a most optimum CoG quantified on a per-flight basis in terms of excess fuel. The Aggregated results drive the model.
  • Advanced Use-Case 2: NextGen FMS Savings Tracking, following Upgrade
    Next you will see how the platform assists airlines who are flying Embraer aircraft to verify and measure fuel savings brought in through upgrading the conventional FMS which does not support Cost Index and ECON flight, to the Next Generation FMS (NGFMS) Gold which enables cost index flying for Embraer. You will see how the airline can then run reports and analyse data to show efficiency savings from the NGFMS. 

    The same process can be undertaken for any other fuel efficiency modifications, turning Honeywell Flight Efficiency into a value validation tool.
  • Advanced Use-Case 3: Optimizing Required Navigation Performance (RNP) Approach Procedures
    Next see how Honeywell assists airlines to analyse and fly optimum RNP profiles. Flight data is ingested into the platform and each flight is analysed with respect to the relevant RNP procedure so that compliance is established. By using flight events as filters, an airline user can easily analyse any segment of the RNP procedure and even establish compliance to a segment.  Flying the optimum RNP profiles may not always be possible due to operational registrations, so with this data airlines can analyse and understand why flights are unable to comply to RNP procedures and find ways to optimize operations for future flights.

  • Advanced Use-Case 4: Hong Kong Airport Specific RETO Compliance Project
    Hong Kong Airport are concerned with excessive N1, and therefore issued a requirement that airlines are authorized to perform engine-out taxi operations only if they maintain N1 lower than 40% in certain areas of the airport.  To get authorization airlines are required to implement a monitoring program. You will see how Honeywell assisted their customer operating out of Hong Kong Airport to set up a comprehensive monitoring program allowing the airline to track each flight that goes through the restricted areas storing, among other parameters, N1 data in easy-to-download reports.

Real-Time Flight Turnaround Optimizer and Process Management App Demo Webinar [Real-Time Alerts to Problems; Data-Driven Analysis to Improve OTP; Optimize Efficiency – APU Burn Analysis; CASM Reduction; ACARS and Systems Integrations; more]

Register to view this On-Demand Webinar (recorded 25th May 2023) to see a demo and overview of the nextgen real-time flight turn process management App: ClearPort from data and connectivity specialists FLYHT.  As you will see ClearPort is specifically designed to provide all key personnel for each flight (pilots, flight crew, airport leader, OCC, dispatch, gate, maintenance, etc.) with real-time, automated progress reporting of each turn, and customized alerts to any problems, or potential problems; before they happen, thereby limiting unmet aircraft at the gate, and optimizing the entire turn process.  You will also see how ClearPoint can assist an airline to lower its cost per available seat mile (CASM) through optimizing the efficiency of each turnaround, including monitoring APU fuel burn at the gate, and minimizing the amount of time needed for a turn. Plus, you will see how data analytics provides airlines with the necessary tools to analyse the entire turn process over time and evaluate which portions are being met successfully and which need to be improved, even if there is not a delay; for example, catering loading, or bridge driving thereby optimizing future OTP.  The data additionally provides airlines with evidence to push the airport and external contractors to deliver a more optimum service.

As you will see, ClearPort is suitable for all airlines of all sizes and requires minimal airline IT support.  The App integrates with key systems such as ACARS messages from the aircraft allowing all personnel to see live status such as delays in-flight, or holding time, or auto-updates on the ground. Additionally, integrating with the airline’s reservation system allows ClearPort to automate most above wing timestamps showing the boarding process in real-time. Plus, by using FLYHT’s state-of-the-art AFIRS EDGE 5G WQAR/AID solution on-board the aircraft, ClearPoint receives all the data it needs to fully manage the airline’s turns and improve processes.

The Webinar is divided into the following six sections:

  • The Challenges Facing Airlines in the Turnaround Process; ClearPort Intro
    First, we will dive into real and impactful problems that airlines face, such as Catering Loading, APU Burn at Gate, and Unmet Aircraft, and how ClearPort can help. The lack of visibility into these controllable processes results in unnecessary CASM increases. The impact of these issues can easily result in millions of dollars in fuel being wasted.  Additionally, due to lack of visibility and technology, the airport turn process has been stuck in a cycle of reactive actions that often take place long after a delay has occurred. And because real-time information isn’t readily available, this leads to many unproductive conversations that focus on who’s to blame for a delay rather than focusing on the processes that are not under control.

    You will see how ClearPort can solve these problems by having the ability to see ALL data from a turn process with real-time alerting across the fleet. We solve the problem of the lack of data by helping your organization capture every single process of the turn. 
  • ClearPoint Overview – A Clear Window into the Turn Process
    Powered by AWS and a part of FLYHT’s JetBridge software suite, ClearPort gives airlines the tools to fix the problem now rather than trying to figure out what happened in the past. You will hear a deep dive into quantifying the cost of delays, CASM reduction, and how to understand what processes are in control and not in control. As you will see ClearPort gives airline’s the tools to know what’s happening at every gate, no matter where they are located.

    The solution to the complex problems is to look at the entire turn process in order to evaluate which portions of the turn are being met successfully and which ones need to be improved. ClearPort enables airlines to look at all portions of the turn in real time allowing key staff to act before a delay occurs and to see which processes are under control even if there is not a delay in place. ClearPort takes a two-pronged approach to improving OTP and Lowering CASM – outlined in the key features next.

  • ClearPoint Key Features 1: Real-Time Alerting
    The unique alerting engine allows airlines to customize alerts for processes that it is focusing on like APU shut off or when the ground handlers are late to the gate. These alerts are sent to leadership in time for them to get to the gate and fix the problem before costs or delays are incurred. FLYHT’s easy-to-use apps are available on the Google Play or Apple Store so that everyone can see how each turn is progressing. Once the expectation has been set with third-party contractors that each turn will be monitored, performance will improve across the board.

  • ClearPoint Key Features 2: Turn Process Improvement Focus
    For an airline that is operating with an on-time performance of 79.8%, airline management would normally focus on the 20.2% of the turns that result in a delay. However, ClearPort allows airlines to even see the processes that need attention during the turns but that do not reach the delay threshold. Airline’s often get caught in the trap of assuming that because a flight left on time, it therefore did not have issues that needed to be addressed. For off peak times, the load factor alone may allow an airline to get out on time even though processes are not followed according to standard. For example, most airlines do not look at bridge driving as something that can cause delays unless there is a significant bridge malfunction. Once an airline knows how long it takes for certain bridges to drive, it can now build that milestone into its turn and monitor its performance. Airlines can use this information as evidence to push the airport to improve the airport conditions. Airlines can also set a standard with 3rd party contractors on when certain processes, like water and lavs, need to occur. If these standards are not met, the airline can hold the contractor accountable even without an actual delay occurring.

  • ClearPort Easy Implementation – In-House Subject Matter Expertise
    In this section you will Learn about the easy integration process of ClearPort which requires minimal involvement of the IT team, and the data that is needed to power the software.  You will see how easy it is to integrate ClearPort into any operations and for the flight crew and everyone in an airline’s team to start using the App – with minimal airline IT support needed.

    As you will see by using FLYHT’s state-of-the-art on-board AFIRS Edge device, an airline will receive all the information it needs to manage turns and improve processes. By integrating with the reservation system ClearPort can automate most above wing timestamps allowing airlines to see all boarding processes in real time. FLYHT can also leverage the ACARS messages an airline is collecting — ClearPort will allow you to view all above wing and limited below wing milestones.  Coupled with the reservation system integration this will give an in-depth view of the turn processes.

  • ClearPort Demo: The Turn Process and Detailed View for a Typical Flight
    Finally, get a chance to see the ClearPort App in action with a demo. By tapping into historical data for all turns, not just turns with delays, the App can capture all processes of each turn and provide an airline’s team with the beacon to be able to make informed and evidence-backed decisions and improvements to improve On-Time Performance and Turn Performance.  You will see how ClearPort can provide answers and help everyone in the organization understand the quality of turn processes. Join FLYHT as they walkthrough the milestones of a typical turn and how real-time alerting allows airlines to solve problems before they turn into costs.
