PUREFLYT, THE REVOLUTIONARY FMS
Added on Mon July 3rd, 2023
French company Thales has launched Pureflyt, a totally revolutionary FMS (Flight management system) solution able to integrate information inside and outside of airliners.
This control system, driven by artificial intelligence, is the result of a long path undertaken by Thales thanks to its experience in FMS, which has so far accrued more than 100 million flight hours and will officially enter into service from 2024.
Thales’ advanced human factors engineering makes PureFlyt easier to use and more intuitive than other FMS. It has been calculated that it can respond to inputs up to 10 times faster than any other FMS allowing pilots to focus more on piloting than waiting for the FMS to respond.
Pureflyt is the most powerful FMS solution available today for minimising crew work, fatigue and human error through its user-friendly, intuitive interface and superior decision-making.
Until now, there has been a computer to plan routes and control all the important information of the aircraft’s internal environment, but the constant air traffic and the complexity of space management required more sophisticated solutions to allow pilots to be supported especially in the most delicate phases of flight.
With this new advanced system, it will be possible to take into account multiple situations such as weather, fuel consumption, traffic in the area flown over, and flight time, and improve each of these conditions by taking into account the situation the crew is faced on each occasion.
For PureFlyt, Thales employs a massive testing process based on big data analysis methods to conduct billions of test cases to validate FMS operations under normal and unplanned circumstances.
These test scenarios include realistic pilot inputs to the FMS and other system inputs such as altitude changes, engine failures, timely and untimely flap extensions/retractions, air traffic control (ATC) requests, and so on.
According to Thales, Pureflyt will allow benefits for everyone: pilots who will be less fatigued in their most demanding operations and emergency situations, and passengers who will be able to fly more comfortably and safely.
A good step forward that sees the current FMS now obsolete.
