Pacelab Flight Profile Optimizer

Cost-efficient altitudes and speeds in ALL flight phases

Reducing costs and fuel burn have always been a priority for airlines but in recent times the issues of aircraft connectivity and data integration have moved center stage. Our EFB application Pacelab FPO addresses all of these challenges: it leverages the availability of real-time data to optimize flight altitudes and speeds en route and provides significant fuel savings, which deliver a quick return of investment on EFB and connectivity hardware.

Leading airlines rely on Pacelab FPO to help flight crews effectively respond to unforeseen changes along the route, making a sophisticated trade-off between operational efficiency considerations, flight punctuality and passenger comfort.

Pacelab FPO is Windows and iOS compatible and can be deployed as EFB or cloud solution. In addition, comprehensive consulting and integration services are available – get in touch with us today to find out how you can start saving tomorrow!
