Polaris Aero has launched advanced features for 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 and we’ve delivered.”
