Polaris Aero has renewed its agreement with Collins Aerospace, to make VOCUS FlightRisk available to all subscribers of Collins' ARINCDirect flight planning tools. This extension builds upon a successful relationship spanning more than 10 years, incorporating FlightRisk's preflight risk assessment functionality with ARINCDirect's flight support services.

Through this collaboration, ARINCDirect flight planning customers also benefit from VOCUS FlightRisk's advanced capabilities in analysing critical pilot, environmental, aircraft and airfield risk factors. VOCUS FlightRisk's rules engine analyses each flight's unique risks and provides relevant advisories, transforming raw data into actionable insights. With these tools, schedulers, dispatchers, pilots and managers are empowered to make more informed and ultimately safer decisions.

“VOCUS FlightRisk serves as an ideal preflight risk control, offering a crucial first step towards ensuring successful and safe missions,” explains Chris Connor, CEO of Polaris Aero.

Customers utilising VOCUS FlightRisk benefit from: proactive decision-making – automated alerts provide warnings about potential hazards early in the flight planning process; facilitates regulatory compliance – custom advisories ensure compliance with applicable policies and regulations; and automated insights – real-time dashboards display types and locations of hazards.

This renewed collaboration between Collins Aerospace and Polaris Aero underscores their shared commitment to enhancing safety and operational efficiency within the aviation industry.
