Appareo Systems releases updates to ALERTS software

By Janice Wood · September 20, 2011 ·

Appareo Systems has released several updates to its ALERTS software products.

ALERTS – Aircraft Logging and Event Recording for Training and Safety – is a Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) and FDM system designed for light and legacy aircraft where more traditional flight data recorders are too large and costly to be viable choices, company officials explain.

The AS Web Analyzer software component of the ALERTS system has undergone an upgrade with the addition of the ability to use above ground level (AGL) elevation as a parameter for event triggers, according to company officials, who explain this addition allows operators to create elevation-based event triggers based on a detailed terrain model.

AS Flight Analysis Software, Appareo’s 3-D visualization software, has also been given enhanced terrain detail. In addition, AS Flight has been updated with a high-resolution color imagery source which improves the user experience, company officials said.

“This is the second significant enhancement to the ALERTS software suite that we have released this year,” said Jeff Johnson, vice president of business development. “Most of the updates we’ve implemented have come directly from feature suggestions made by our customers at our first annual ALERTS customer conference held this spring at Heli-Expo. We’re excited to make their jobs easier and their safety programs more effective by advancing the ALERTS system.”
