Sagem signed a collaboration agreement with the China Academy of Civil Aviation Science and Technology (Center of Aviation Safety Technology, CAAC) to provide Chinese airlines with systems and services for the flight data management and monitoring.
Under terms of the contract, which applies to all of mainland China, Sagem will provide its expertise in flight data management for enhanced flight safety and risk management, based on its Analysis Ground Station (AGS) system and will assist CAST to improve its support for Chinese airlines and other operators concerning the analysis of flight data. In addition, CAST will help Sagem receive Chinese certification for its aircraft condition monitoring systems (ACMS) and wireless data transmission systems.
Sagem’s AGS is a semi-automatic aircraft flight data analysis system, enabling operators to optimize fleet maintenance management and reduce costs (via the MOQA approach: Maintenance Operation Quality Assurance), while also helping to improve flight safety (Flight Operation Quality Assurance – FOQA).
