Customer Feedback
•“FIRST is a key element to any fuel conservation initiative, it is the big “M” within the PEMC framework – Plan, Execute, Measure, Correct. And the system does it accurately and timely, always.
•The dash-board functionality gives the Operations Manager the right information at the right time to make the best decisions. Now it is possible to act, on the spot, using actual and unbiased data.
•Also, the “what-if” capacity is widely used in scenario analysis, my company can discuss different operation scenarios and operation policies with immediate calculation of potential savings, without the need to perform special test flights or waiting for new flight data.
•FLYHT knowledge and flexibility to accommodate specific requirements is remarkable and makes the AFIRS and FIRST solutions a “must have” solution to the aviation companies engaged to be the most efficient as possible in terms of fuel usage”
