swiss49 - Flight-Data Monitoring Services

swiss49 is an innovative IT service company which provides flight-data monitoring services (FDM/FOQA), flight operational efficiency services and flight-data research for aircraft operators, air traffic service providers (ATS) and the aviation industry and research community.

The swiss49 team consists of highly experienced and qualified computer science engineers. Team members have extensive expertise in the airline industry, holding active airline transport pilots licenses (ATPL) or having long-term experience in airline flight operations including long-haul flight services. We have been responsible for flight-data monitoring for many airlines over the past 12 years, and are ready to work together with you.

Complete flight-data monitoring service

The specialty of the swiss49 service is that we take over the whole flight event review work for you, instead of providing a 'software only' service like other operators. This means you get fully-fledged flight safety summary reports including flight operational safety recommendations from swiss49 on a recurring basis. This is especially helpful for airlines with lean-staffed flight safety departments, since the service enables your airline to immediately become regulatory compliant and you can concentrate your labour force on the airline's daily business.

The swiss49 service is fully internet-based, which means no investments in new infrastructure nor additional man-power for flight analysis is necessary. Our flight-data analysts have long-term flying experience on jet flight operations and since our service includes customisation of the flight-data monitoring events on your individual flight operation we think we can add significant value for you compared to other off-the-shelf service providers. This also includes high-quality 3D flight-animation videos.

Flight operations efficiency service

Based on market-leading flight-data warehouse software the swiss49 team provides key performance indicator (KPI) reports on flight operations efficiency plus recommendations to improve in this area. Unlike 'software only' providers the swiss49 services include an airline-customised statistical analysis and trending based on the individual airline's operating environment.

Flight-data processing and analysis service

The long-term flight-data processing and analysis service by swiss49 allows an airline to monitor and steer its operational efficiency related to fuel-efficient flying of pilots, flight planning comparisons versus actual flights, extra fuel surveillance versus destination weather, holding delay analysis at destination airport, aircraft performance monitoring (fuel bias), cross-aircraft and cross-fleet comparisons, flight track-distance surveillance for fuel planning and ATC over-flight charges, and many more topics.

Furthermore the indefinite storage of in-flight data and full reprocessing capabilities allow a quick and easy compilation of warranties/guarantees, facts and figures to deliver to engine and airframe manufacturers.

Flight-efficiency event detection

Flight-efficiency event detection allows you to track non-efficient flights and in-time reaction on unnecessary non-optimal flights and/or pilots' behaviour. The highest possible degree of statistical accuracy is reached by measuring each parameter (usually up to 2,000) of all the aircraft's in-flight data for every second and every flight and therefore being able to provide statistically significant efficiency results. Quick and easy before/after comparisons allow trending and quantifying efficiency improvements even in the 0.1% order of magnitudes.

Currently swiss49 is servicing low and high-cycle customers, including an intercontinental commercial airline in the Middle East operating (among other planes) Airbus A340s, and a well-known European aircraft management and service company operating over 100 aircraft.
