NetJets is adopting FlightPulse from GE Aerospace across its operations in the US and Europe, providing pilots with data to increase safety and efficiency from takeoff to landing.

FlightPulse will equip NetJets' more than 4,400 pilots globally with secure, consolidated flight data to drive informed decisions on risk management, aircraft functionality and fuel, and their own performance, fostering continuous self-improvement. NetJets is the first private jet operator of its kind to embrace the technology, which it plans to begin deploying by the end of the year.

“In the world of aviation, safety is paramount and will always be NetJets' first and highest priority, integral to every decision we make,” says Adam Johnson, NetJets chairman and CEO. “As the industry leader, it is our responsibility to elevate our safety programmes by utilising cutting-edge tools like FlightPulse to continue to bring best-in-class service to our customers worldwide.”

Designed by pilots for pilots, FlightPulse is a fully configurable, modular EFB application. By putting important operational data directly in the hands of pilots, FlightPulse empowers aviators to make more informed decisions, self-critique recent flight profiles and compare themselves to their peers. FlightPulse offers integrated pre- and post-flight modules that deliver essential safety and sustainability insights about flight paths that help pilots bolster their flying performance.

As an extension of GE Aerospace's Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) programme, FlightPulse enables operators to provide crewmembers with rapid feedback on flight performance and insights to enhance safety and aid decision-making. On any given day, FlightPulse processes data from an average of 2.5 million flights, providing pilots with comprehensive, data-driven insights to support safer and more efficient operations.

"We are proud to collaborate with NetJets as it adopts GE Aerospace's FlightPulse software to enhance pilot decision-making and operational performance,” comments Andrew Coleman, president and general manager, GE Aerospace's software as a service. “This collaboration marks a significant milestone, expanding the global reach of business jet pilots using our software. Together, we are helping to drive innovation and safety in aviation by providing pilots with actionable, data-driven insights to optimise every flight.”

Similar to its implementation of FlightPulse, NetJets was the first shared ownership provider to establish a FOQA programme, which has successfully produced actionable discoveries and strengthened safety margins. FlightPulse is one of NetJets' newest tools to support its enduring efforts to elevate safety for pilots and passengers.
