Max Trescott talks with Patrick Lienhart about FlySto.net, a
platform bringing Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) to
general aviation (GA). FOQA, widely used by airlines, collects and
analyzes flight data to enhance safety by identifying trends before
they lead to incidents. FlySto applies similar principles, allowing
GA pilots to review their flights, compare data, and track
performance improvements.
FlySto offers multiple perspectives, including 2D/3D views, cockpit HUD, and graphical analysis. Pilots can upload flight data from various avionics, ADS-B track logs, and navigation apps. A key feature is approach scoring, which compares pilot performance to fleet averages and provides landing analysis.
FlySto also includes customizable flag rules for monitoring exceedances, aircraft performance analysis against POH data, and video integration to overlay flight data onto recorded videos. ADS-B traffic data enhances situational awareness with collision detection and wake turbulence tracking. Additionally, archived weather data helps pilots review conditions during debriefs.
Currently free, FlySto plans to introduce a subscription model with affordable pricing for advanced features. Pilots can explore the platform at FlySto.net to enhance safety and performance in GA flying.
