CALGARY, Alta. – FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd. has been awarded the 2015 Excellence in Avionics Safety Systems Innovation Award from Avionics Magazine. FLYHT’s Automated Flight Information Reporting System (AFIRS), in conjunction with the FLYHTStream application, was recognized as a critical and new safety system that enables the fastest response time and the most effective assistance in an emergency, to guarantee safety or to locate a lost aircraft in the event of a crash, FLYHT announced in a statement on June 9. The company’s premier technology, AFIRS UpTime, allows airlines to monitor and manage aircraft operations in real time. If an aircraft encounters an emergency, FLYHT’s triggered data-streaming mode, FLYHTStream, automatically streams vital data to designated sites on the ground in real time. When an abnormal event occurs, it sends an alert to the airline, increases the position reporting intervals and triggers the streaming of key black-box data. FLYHTStream was developed in 2009 and commercialized with First Air in 2014.
