Early next year, the Flight Safety Foundation (Booth No. 3532) expects to publish operational guidelines for its members on the conduct of stabilized approaches, according to COO Kevin Hiatt. The guidelines arise from analysis of trends gathered from corporate flight-operational quality assurance (C-FOQA) data.

NBAA describes C-FOQA as “a data-management program that collects, scrubs and processes flight data and generates reports flight departments can use to analyze their operations. The ability to predict high-risk operations or to pinpoint operational areas that need attention can be a hugely important tool.” Analysis of C-FOQA data can highlight exceedances of prescribed performance parameters and thus stimulate remedial measures such as training to enhance operational safety.
