Insights for management

Data that powers safer, more efficient flight is indispensable. Astra reinforces positive performance by highlighting things that are done well and also identifies where improvements can be made.

  • Identify opportunities to mitigate risk and optimize efficiency
  • Track adherence to SOPs and ROI
  • Fully customizable. Align safety, operations and fuel goals
  • Adapt training programs according to performance insights

Supporting pilots at every altitude

Pilots know great tech, but even the best tools need engaged pilots to truly unlock their potential. Astra goes beyond efficiency, leveraging FDM data and behavioral science to create pilot-focused tools that not only empower, but foster a culture of awareness, continuous growth, and prioritize safety through data-driven training.

Pilots are overwhelmed with the number of in-flight apps and that is why we created Astra. Bringing everything they need into one platform reduces tool fatigue, boosts engagement and supports pilots at every stage.
