America West Airlines

Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport

Phoenix, Arizona

Flight Operational Quality Assurance ("FOQA") Avionics Consultant

Flight Operational Quality Assurance (FOQA) data is used from flight parameters in order to find potential problems and correct them before they lead to accidents, records, and analyzes flight parameters (such as firm landings or high decent rates).  Data is collected to determine whether the aircraft is deviating from standard procedures or operating limitations, and recorded by the OQAR.

Wrote an Engineering Order E.O. to have the America West Airbus A319 and A320 fleet of aircraft’s to have Continuous Operation of the Optical Quick Access Recorder (OQAR). This was GSE software.  So that OQAR when the Optical Disk is full of data it does not trigger a light in the aircraft cabin.  This problem has led to delay flight time of aircraft’s, before a new optical disk could be installed in the OQAR.

This E.O. also contains software functions to include Tail numbering, and Time and Date in GMT. Wrote a very detailed report on where the Airbus A319 and A320, the Boeing 757 aircraft’s get their recording parameters.  Did (30) slides in Power Point software, for a Management Seminar on the FOQA program.  Wrote an E.O. for the Boeing 757 fleet.
