ForeFlight has acquired CloudAhoy.
Founded in 2011, CloudAhoy is a provider of post-flight debriefing, analytics, and flight operations quality assurance (FOQA) software for general aviation pilots and flight training organizations.
The deal strengthens ForeFlight’s data analytics tools and services, which provide “a seamless digital ecosystem that touches all phases of flight,” according to company leaders.
“CloudAhoy’s advanced capabilities and products will complement and integrate nicely into our existing digital portfolio, and we are excited for CloudAhoy and its employees to join our team,” said Tim Schuetze, ForeFlight CEO. “Recording and debriefing flights has been a staple of ForeFlight for years, and CloudAhoy’s software will enable even deeper post-flight analysis of every flight.”
ForeFlight’s Track Log feature already supports exporting recorded flights to view in other apps such as CloudAhoy, company officials noted.
Additionally, ForeFlight’s Sentry and Sentry Plus ADS-B receivers record additional flight metrics, such as attitude and g-load, giving CloudAhoy even more flight data for a more informative analysis, they said.
The companies are not disclosing terms of the transaction.
Cloud Ahoy is a great product. Smart move for ForeFlight and the Cloud Ahoy developers. Cloud Ahoy should be a great addition to an already great product.
