PureFlyt FMS

Description

PureFlyt is a flight management system developed by Thales (Thales Group) in France. It represents the successor to the company's established FMS lines, designed to handle the increasing complexity of modern air traffic management and connected skies. The system is built on a modular architecture that integrates high-resolution terrain databases and real-time weather data to optimise trajectories, reducing fuel burn and pilot workload compared to legacy hardware. The primary customers for this technology are commercial aircraft manufacturers and airline operators seeking to modernise their fleets. It is positioned for both forward-fit on new production lines and retrofit for existing airframes. Notable adoption includes its selection by Airbus for the A320, A330, and A350 families, serving as a core component of the cockpit environment for global carriers operating these types. Prospective buyers should monitor the software certification levels for specific airspace mandates, such as Trajectory Based Operations (TBO). The desk would seek to verify the specific cyber-security hardening measures implemented to protect the system's external data links. Verification of the exact weight and power consumption savings relative to previous Thales FMS generations is also recommended for fuel efficiency modelling.
