Piloting for Analysts
PLT 201
Exam Question? Using your flight data, determine if the aircraft was high or low at the BURNY intersection on approach into ATL ILS RWY 9R?
Flight data analysis can provide deep insight into the instrument approach flown, the intersections and waypoints crossed, and any deviations from the intended navigation path. Interpreting this information, however, can be difficult without the ability to correlate flight data with aeronautical charts and procedures. PLT 201 develops these skills by teaching students how to fuse flight data with real-world aeronautical reference sources, significantly enhancing their ability to perform accurate, four-dimensional aerospace analysis.
Key benefits for improved operational safety
Accurate analysis
Quickly surface approach types, diversions, and unstable approach causes using intuitive charts and tables—no 3D animation required.
Greater visibility
Replace guesswork with AI-driven analytics to uncover hidden patterns in the data.
Data-driven decisions
Derive final decisions and corresponding corrective actions through integrated correlational, geographical, aeronautical, and statistical analysis.
PLT 201 Analytics at Work!
During our FDM/FOQA monitoring team meeting, a conflict arose regarding the proper way to measure runway alignment and deviation for visual approaches. The knowledge learned from PLT 201 helped us to tackle this challenge. We employed alternate nav source intersection analysis to derive lateral deviation, since ILS, GPS, and Lat/Long position were of no use.
