Your airport is vital to the economic growth of the region. The problem, especially in the current economic times, has always been conveying the benefits of your airport’s operation to local officials and the surrounding community relative to the environmental impact. As aviation will ultimately return to its 5% annual growth curve; it has never been more important for you to accurately track and record detailed aircraft operations for airport master planning, billing, maintenance, marketing and to manage the impact by responding to your community.

Lochard is pleased to announce the launch of FlightOps, a low-cost, easy to use and accurate web-based application developed to help you communicate the importance of your airport. Aircraft flight tracks are overlaid and replayed on simplified street and satellite maps; while all aircraft operations data are batched and reported on a daily and monthly basis to help you track and report growth and airport use.

You have always seen the need for a flight tracking, aircraft operations reporting and community response system, but cost was always an issue –until now.

In our more than 19 years delivering and supporting more than 200 airport flight track and noise monitoring systems worldwide, Lochard is familiar with the workload placed on limited staff at reliever and general aviation airports, and that time is valuable. We know that as airports grow, managing community response effectively and planning for future projects becomes more and more difficult. FlightOps does the work for you; delivering automated operations reports and the mapping tools needed to quickly investigate community inquires. Airport and Operations Managers understand accurate operations data drives airport planning and that ignoring the community creates a much larger problem in the future.

“FlightOps is a highly functional, intuitive web-based application which gets the job done quickly and easily.” explains Phil Stollery, Lochard’s VP of Product Strategy and Marketing, “This sort of no fuss approach is exactly what operations staff need in at airports with limited staff resources.”

FlightOps also adds value by recording all airfield flight activity and compiling a series of operations reports to show who and what is operating at the airport and trends over time. The data is compiled automatically and presented in a spreadsheet format enabling further data analysis as required.

“There are really many uses for the FlightOps reporting. We expect that the summary report information will be highly valuable to airfield maintenance, billing and airport marketing; information that, until now, was not easy for most airports to obtain.” says Nate Higbie, Product Marketing Manager for Airport Systems.
