Utilizing the power of data to support aviation safety

Leading aerospace insurance provider, Global Aerospace, announces that FlightSafety International (FSI) and GE Digital have joined its SM4 Aviation Safety Program as partners in The Community of Excellence.

Global Aerospace recognizes the safety benefits of data-driven training through FlightSafety using GE Digital data and is honored to integrate these organizations into the SM4 program.

FSI, a leading training provider for business aviation, and GE Digital, a leading software provider for the aviation industry, will help the company’s elite-level, general aviation policyholders capitalize on aggregated industry insights gained from data sharing, enabling them to develop valuable scenario-based training.

GE Digital’s aviation software puts data to work to produce insights that enable customers to enhance operator safety and efficiency. “We’re proud to join Global Aerospace’s broader community of partners committed to flight safety excellence,” said Andrew Coleman, general manager of GE Digital’s Aviation Software business.

“It’s through programs like SM4 that provide GE Digital’s Safety Insight data analytics with a broader platform to deliver key operational insights that further promote aviation safety.”

The primary mission of FlightSafety is to reduce risk and our investment in a data-driven approach is demonstrated in partnerships with both GE Digital and Global Aerospace.”

Dana DiPietro, vice president, underwriting manager for Global Aerospace who co-manages the SM4 program states, “This initiative aligns perfectly with a core principle of the SM4 program, loss prevention. We look forward to working together with FSI and GE Digital to enhance the industry’s utilization of data to avoid potential risks and tailor training programs to reduce safety events.”

Since 2010, the company has committed over $6.5 million to support SM4 and help its clients pursue higher levels of safety. To learn more about this new SM4 Safety Program offering, visit sm4.global-aero.com or contact your local Global Aerospace underwriter.
