Savvy Aviation has introduced an anomaly detection tool that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to augment human-led diagnoses of piston engine problems. The GADFly tool is designed to help identify unusual engine behavior based on analysis of engine data to help owners with data-driven and on-condition maintenance and to advance safety, reliability, and compliance.

According to Savvy Aviation founder and CEO Mike Busch, the company receives about 15,000 flights uploaded to its platform every week, “so obviously we can’t look at all of them. In the past, our analysts only looked at flights that our clients asked us to review. Now with GADfly, we can look at every flight that the AI suggests we look at, and alert clients to issues they didn’t know they had.”
