Part of the Operational Efficiency Management Suite

Pacelab Post Flight Analyzer

Business intelligence for maximum operational efficiency

The Pacelab Post Flight Analyzer provides comprehensive operational efficiency information, from
high-level KPI reports to detailed analyses of city pairs or individual flight segments, giving airlines a
better understanding of their operations and how they compare to planned or optimum procedures.

FUNCTIONAL SCOPE

Continuous diagnostic for operational efficiency

Effective internal communication and reporting

Operational efficiency information can be processed from

Configurable, role-based KPI dashboards provide succinct,

a variety of sources such as FOQA, the Pacelab EFB Flight

Data Recorder and other airline sources
Unique performance kernel allows benchmarking executed
and planned flights against ECON trajectories
Intuitive operational analytics ensure city pairs can be easily examined for optimization potential or irregularities
Key metrics are presented in easy-to-interpret graphical

tailor-made information
An easy-to-use report editor allows the definition of ad-hoc
or customized reports
Reports can be automatically e-mailed to user-definable
recipient lists at user-definable intervals to make communications between stakeholders more efficient
Reports can be viewed online, exported or printed
Charts can be exported for presentations and executive

and tabular formats

Operational data can be drilled down from the KPI dashboard to detailed analysis (incl. cube-level investigations)
Top-of-descent investigations identify savings potential
and supply conclusive data for negotiations with ATC
Analysis and reporting periods are fully configurable
through easy-to-use date picker

summaries in high-quality JPEG and PNG formats

Data tables can be exported to image, spreadsheet and
CSV formats for further analysis and post-processing in
MS Excel or other office tools
Printer-friendly versions are available for creating PDF or
paper copies

User-definable reference scenarios provide unrivalled flexibility for trajectory benchmarks

Customization to airline policies

Deployment and functional scope can be adapted to air-

Single, cross-departmental information system

Operational efficiency information is consolidated in a cen-

Web-based front end enables access via standard web
browser from virtually anywhere in the world

Clustering a user-definable number of flights prevents

tracing personally identifiable data

Role-based permission structures provide control and flexibility in managing users and their capabilities

Why ECON is the key

Without ECON as a point of reference, the insights to be
gained from post flight trajectory comparisons are fairly
limited.
