Eclipse Aviation Introduces FOQA Safety Program Eclipse Aviation has received FAA approval for a FOQA (flight operational quality assurance) program for its Eclipse 500 VLJ (very light jet). According to Eclipse, it is the only aircraft manufacturer that has received FAA approval for a FOQA program that includes flight data monitoring capability used by FAR (federal air regulation) Part 121 air carriers. FOQA captures and records flight data, which is subsequently analyzed to identify, assess and correct high-risk operating conditions before they cause an accident. The program is largely enabled by the next-generation integrated avionics and data collection systems designed for and incorporated in the Eclipse 500, Eclipse said. Vern Raburn, Eclipse Aviation's president and CEO, said "FOQA is a perfect addition to our progressive safety management system (SMS), which gives us the tools to proactively ensure the highest level of safety across all Eclipse 500 operations." 11-02-2007. |
