Sagem Avionics, Inc. is pleased to announce that Pinnacle Airlines Inc. has selected the AGS (Analysis Ground Station) in-house software for their FOQA (Flight Operational Quality Assurance) program. The often heralded features of AGS such as ease of use, performance and capability made it a clear choice in replacing their current FOQA service provider.  Amongst several features, the AGS has clearly identified potentially hazardous trends automatically with its renowned integrated report generator thus removing the burden of sifting through data supplied by service programs.  The SAGEM AGS convenient template oriented architecture has repeatedly saved customers valuable time and money when weighed against a service contract. This feature has resulted in AGS customers analyzing a fleet of over 200 aircraft with only one full time FOQA analyst.

Ed Fell, Vice President of Safety and Regulatory Compliance for Pinnacle Airlines states “We are delighted that SAGEM has joined the Pinnacle Airlines’ family as our FOQA software system supplier. The SAGEM system will be a valuable tool for Pinnacle in aircraft data analysis and the integration of that analysis into our Safety Management System. We found it to meet all of our requirements in terms of performance and value. We are excited about this new product, and look forward to working with SAGEM in the future”.

Celebrating its 15th year, the SAGEM AGS has been the preeminent Flight Data Analysis Software package worldwide with over 300 users and a culmination of 50 years experience in manufacturing flight data recorders.
