(Photo: Satcom Direct) Satcom Direct and Polaris Aero have joined forces to offer what they say will improve the way business aircraft operators handle risk assessments and mitigation processes. The Polaris FlightRisk platform is now integrated with the SD Pro digital operating system in a move the partners say will boost safety, while reducing pilot workload. By combining the two data tools, SD PreFlight app users can now automatically transfer tail number, trip planning, and duty information to the FlightRisk app. The Polaris system analyzes this data quickly to provide flight crew with a risk assessment of the planned trip, indicating what actions or flight plan modifications might be required. PreFlight users can click to switch straight to the FlightRisk interface to see a more in-depth analysis of hazards and recommendations to reduce risk.
