Commercial Air Transport (CAT) has achieved a significant decline in accident rates over the past 25 years, despite a steady increase in flights. This progress is driven by the implementation of Safety Management Systems (SMS), Flight Data Monitoring (FDM), and Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) programmes, which help identify and mitigate risks based on comprehensive incident analysis.
Now, CGI is leading the way in transforming safety for Business and General Aviation (BGA) with the CGI VirtualFlightRecorder. Developed to meet ICAO’s Global Aeronautic Distress and Safety System (GADSS) standards, this service enables Global Aircraft Tracking (GAT), Autonomous Distress Tracking (ADT), and the timely recovery of flight data. By leveraging advancements in mobile satellite services, CGI VirtualFlightRecorder makes sophisticated safety management capabilities accessible to small businesses, private aircraft operators, and aviation service providers.
CGI VirtualFlightRecorder replicates the functions of a traditional crash-protected flight recorder in a secure, cloud-based environment. It ensures critical flight data is preserved for forensic analysis and real-time monitoring while integrating seamlessly with existing SMS, FDM, and FOQA systems. Supported by CGI’s proprietary blockchain solution, it provides a scalable and cost-effective foundation for aviation safety.
Join CGI and partners like SatAuth, Cranfield University, and AWS in pioneering a global UVFDR service, supported by the UK Space Agency and ESA. Enhance safety, efficiency, and reliability in aviation with CGI's VirtualFlightRecorder - where the future of flight data recording meets today’s technological advancements.
