4th Busiest US General Aviation Airport Contracts FlightOps

Brüel & Kjaer has been selected by the City of Mesa, Arizona to provide its FlightOps Flight Tracking subscription service to assist in the management of Falcon Field’s (FFZ) “Fly Friendly” program.

FlightOps provides airports with access to highly detailed flight information including:

• aircraft ETAs;
• near-time situation display;
• historical track replay; and
• automated airfield operations reports on an hourly, daily and monthly basis.

Integrated weather information, point of closest approach snapshot, and a number of value-added functions can be utilized by several airport departments to make managing internal and outreach programs easier. Falcon Field is unique in its residential encroachment and elevated aircraft operations activity. At last count, with more than 324,000 annual aircraft operations, FlightOps is the perfect solution to efficiently track and manage these aircraft as they arrive/depart FFZ, flying over the airport’s noise sensitive neighbors.

“As the nation’s 4th busiest general aviation airport, it is important that the needs of Falcon Field Airport’s tenants and users remain balanced with those of the surrounding community. Brüel & Kjær’s new FlightOps flight tracking solution allows the City to respond to citizen concerns about aircraft noise and safety more effectively and will greatly enhance the effectiveness of Falcon Field’s Fly Friendly” Program.” explains Mr. Bob Brown, President of the Falcon Field Tenants and Users Association and a member of the City’s ad-hoc noise task force which convened to explore the noise issues and the airport’s “Fly Friendly Program”.

No other single-solution presents aircraft positions in Live, Historic and Predictive modes with ETAs, operations, and weather data displayed on multiple dashboards detailing when, where and how operations really happened.
