FOQA
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flight Operations Quality Assurance. Several airlines have initiated FOQA (pronounced FOU-kua) programs to retroactively use recorded flight data to improve safety and efficiency of flight performance. Many European airlines are required to do such, however in the United States the FAA does not require a FOQA program. Two FOQA vendors are Austin Digital Inc. (www.ausdig.com) and SAGEM Avionics (www.sagemavionics.com).
