(Reuters) -The number of commercial pilots using GE Aerospace's flight data monitoring app, FlightPulse, has expanded rapidly from 40,000 a year ago to more than 60,000, and the company expects to exceed 70,000 by year-end.
The app, the only one of its kind used commercially, allows pilots to evaluate their performances across various metrics compared to other pilots and learn to fly more efficiently and safely. Airlines pay an undisclosed fee per pilot to use it, and the app burnishes the engine-maker's reputation for safety and efficiency with its airline customers.
