Boeing-owned electronic flight bag and flight planning app developer ForeFlight has purchased CloudAhoy, a flight data analytics provider. CloudAhoy began offering post-flight debriefing services in 2011 and has expanded into more detailed analytics based on flight data and more recently launched flight operations quality assurance (FOQA) analysis.
In its early days, CloudAhoy, founded by Chuck and Tani Shavit, uniquely gave pilots a way to review flights based on recorded GPS data. As aircraft became equipped with sophisticated avionics, more flight data became available, and analytics software such as CloudAhoy’s delivered increasingly refined post-flight analyses at a reasonable cost. Now CloudAhoy’s FOQA service is making flight data monitoring capabilities such as FOQA available to far more pilots and operators at a fraction of the cost of traditional analytics companies that pioneered FOQA.
