BEN-GURION AIRPORT, ISRAEL, May 30, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Today, after a short visit to Israel, CEFA Aviation, a leading software development company specializing in aviation technology, is proud to announce that it has been awarded a major contract by EL AL, the Israeli airline, to provide CEFA AMS (Aviation Mobile Services) for pilots debriefing and training.

EL AL is the first airline in the Middle East to adopt CEFA AMS, a visualization software designed for commercial aviation to improve flight safety and enhance pilots’ skills through animated flight replays, viewable after landing.

CEFA AMS is a unique EFB tool that uses actual data from the flight data recorder to generate a realistic 3D animation of the flight. The resulting application is a powerful line operations tool that can be viewed on the pilot's tablet after landing. With CEFA AMS, pilots can rapidly and securely access flight data, gaining valuable insights for debriefing, self-learning, continuous self-improvement, and accurate reporting.

“Safety and data security are paramount in every aspect of our operations, and therefore, we have performed a comprehensive assessment of the application to ensure it met our rigorous standards,” said Capt. Udi Yalon, Chief Pilot, Director of Flight Operations, EL AL. “CEFA AMS has not only met but exceeded our expectations regarding safety and efficiency. We are thrilled to begin implementation over 500 pilots across our fleet of aircraft.”

“We are honored to have been awarded this contract and to have the opportunity to work with EL AL to enhance pilot debriefing and training,” said Dominique Mineo, CEO and founder, CEFA Aviation. “Our team has worked tirelessly to develop an application that uses real-world flight recorder data to equip pilots with a virtual flight replay, enhancing their situational awareness through animated playback of any part of the flight. This tool simplifies the understanding of processes and can be utilized for debriefing, self-improvement, or extracting data for reporting.”

Mineo said, “Aviation authorities are aiming to enforce Evidence-Based Training (EBT), and we are excited about the advantages CEFA AMS will offer to airlines globally and in the Middle East.”

This contract award is a significant milestone for CEFA Aviation, and the company looks forward to continuing to work with leading airlines and regulatory bodies to enhance safety in the aviation industry.
