A
system and method for implementing one or more real-time
flight operations quality assurance (RTS-FOQA) systems and protocols is disclosed. RTS-FOQA systems assist pilots and other personnel in managing hazards and risks to protect the safety of passengers, pilots, flight attendants,
crew, as well as people on the ground. The
system is configured to capture
voice data from the
cockpit, recognize words spoken by the pilots, air traffic controllers (ATC), and other personnel; convert the recognized words into text; compare the text derived from the words spoken by the pilots, ATC, and other personnel to a standard operational procedure (SOP) sequence, wherein the sequence comprises a plurality of SOP operational steps; identify at least one of a plurality of
flight operations executed by the pilots; compare the plurality of
flight operations executed by the pilots with the required SOP operational procedures; identify at least one of the plurality of SOP operational steps not executed or incorrectly executed by the pilots; and alert the pilots if and when the pilots fails to execute or incorrectly execute any of the plurality of SOP operational steps. In addition to alerting the pilots of the deviation(s) from the SOP sequence(s), the
system may automatically generate a SOP exceedance report for recording the SOP operational step(s) not executed or incorrectly executed by the
pilot(s), as well as automatically execute an
emergency response, automatically execute an evasive maneuver, and / or automatically implement an
autopilot—E.G., initiate execution of remotely-piloted, semi-autonomous, or autonomous, arrival approach, and landing procedures.
