FlightOps Flight Tracking Service Improves Management of Airport Operations at Lunken Airport

Brüel and Kjær is delighted to announce the first installation of FlightOps, its new flight track monitoring service. FlightOps provides airports with timely access to information about where and when aircraft are flying.

The information is used for a variety of purposes such as responding to community noise complaints, reacting to and learning from incidents, and collecting valuable summary flight statistics for use with landing fee programs and to aid planning decisions.

Fred Anderton, Airport Director at Lunken said, “FlightOps is delivering exactly what the City of Cincinnati needs in terms of tracking aircraft flights for use with our Community Outreach and Landing Fee Management Programs. Best of all, it comes at a greatly reduced operational cost compared to our legacy system.”

Mr. Anderton continued, “We were impressed with Brüel & Kjær's quick setup of FlightOps. We can access the system via the internet from any airport PC, anywhere, anytime –even from our Operations and Maintenance vehicles while on the field."

FlightOps near-time aircraft situation display, historical replay and automated aircraft operations reports make managing the airport easier. Operational since May 2010, FlightOps has replaced the airport’s existing system with improved technology and reliability and integrates with the AMSTAT general aviation aircraft operations database, supplying complete aircraft operator contact details directly to Airport Management.

Matt Majoli, account manager with Brüel & Kjær said, “FlightOps linking with AMSTAT identifies the right aircraft operator, enabling immediate contact with the actual operator unlike other systems which only link contact details with an FAA or other governmental aircraft registry database”.
