LOS ANGELES, CA - February 13, 2007 - Teledyne Controls, a business unit of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE: TDY), announced today that Lufthansa CityLine, the second passenger airline in the Lufthansa Group, has completed installing Teledyne Controls' Vision ground-based application. This sophisticated flight data animation system is designed to enable the rapid visualization of complex flight scenarios through high fidelity animations and will provide Lufthansa CityLine with an essential tool for incident investigation.
Built upon the Vision system that was installed in 2001 at Lufthansa mainline in Frankfurt, Germany, this new Vision installation is configured to allow the data replay and animation of the entire Lufthansa CityLine fleet, which includes CRJ 100/200/700/900 and Avro RJ85 aircraft.
"Over the past few years, Teledyne Controls has developed a successful working relationship with the Lufthansa group, collaborating on several projects related to the collection and replay of their flight data. We are very pleased that they have expanded their use of Vision to another significant subsidiary," said Hans-Juergen Neufert, Teledyne Controls' Senior Manager of Sales and Service for the Europe region. "Vision is the industry's most mature flight data animation system and we are confident that this new installation will meet and exceed Lufthansa CityLine's expectations."
The most widely used flight animation solution in the industry, Vision is a sophisticated 3rd generation Windows-based software application designed to enable the rapid visualization of complex flight operations information. Through accurate and compelling flight data animations, Vision reconstructs flight data and provides a clear picture of the many complex and interrelated actions that occur during an event or incident. Sophisticated flight path generation algorithms, photo realistic aircraft instrumentation, airfield satellite imagery, as well as navigation and data plots combine to make Vision the product of choice for major airlines that operate FOQA (Flight Operations Quality Assurance) and FDM (Flight Data Monitoring) programs. Used in conjunction with AirFASE®, a comprehensive flight data measurement, analysis and reporting software tool jointly developed by Teledyne Controls and Airbus, Vision provides an unparalleled flight data analysis and investigation solution. Vision is also an efficient tool to support flight crew training.
Vision is an integral part of Teledyne's end-to-end aircraft data management solutions. Designed to assist airlines with their FOQA/FDM initiatives, these offerings include innovative airborne data acquisition products, air-to-ground wireless data transfer systems and ground-based applications that fit together to deliver greater benefits to the operators and provide the total solution airlines need for a successful flight safety program.
