SKYBREATHE® ANALYTICS – CUSTOM FLIGHT INDICATORS MODULE
Analyze exactly what matters to your operations
Go beyond standard metrics. Define any flight event, compute it across a million flights in minutes, and uncover savings you didn’t know were there.
Unlock the full power of your FDR data
“Custom Flight Indicators was designed for advanced airlines that need to go beyond predefined metrics and analyze flight operations with greater precision to make decisions.”

Reporting that fits your reality
Every airline operates differently — different SOPs, monitoring needs or questions to answer. Custom Flight Indicators give you the flexibility to build exactly the metrics you need, whether that’s a KPI for pilots, a one-off analysis, or reporting for stakeholders.
Heard from the field
Everything you need to go beyond standard metrics
Advanced & easy to use.
- Build the indicators that matter to you and define exactly what you want to measure.
- Pick up your flight parameters, define your events or segments, and compute insights at scale; all without writing a single line of code.
Simple setup
Act by yourself. No backlog, no coding queue, no waiting for developer resources.
Lightning fast-computation
Analyze a million flights in minutes.
Drive impactful decision-making
Leverage your custom indicators across SkyBreathe® Analytics to unlock new fuel savings.
Fully integrated into SkyBreathe® Analytics, your custom indicators, once computed, are available where you already work. You can query them for advanced analysis, visualize them on actual flight trajectories, and more!
Turn raw flight data into actionable insights in 4 steps
Define key moments in your flights
Pick key flight events from your FDR data — top of climb, descent start, or any other point of interest you care about.
Define measurements for your flight events
Choose what to measure at or between those moments: average fuel flow, speed trend, or any other FDR parameter.
Create and run computations on your flight scope
Compute one or several indicators on a flight scope and let SkyBreathe® compute at scale.
Use your results for instant operational insights
Your custom indicators are now available everywhere in SkyBreathe®.

Frequently asked questions
What is Custom Flight Indicators module?
Custom flight indicators is a user-defined flight event detection feature tailored to analyze specific aspects of your flight operations. It enables advanced users to conduct highly customized and autonomous fuel efficiency studies.
For example, define on a particular airport the moment in climb when you would like to study the altitude and fuel burn, or detect the time spent climbing between the top of climb and maximum cruise altitude.
Any point in flight, or any geographical waypoint, can be defined and used to derive indicators.
What are the typical use cases with Custom Flight Indicators?
Some examples:
You can fine‑tune company procedures: compare actual vs. target profiles on very specific flight segments, evaluate compliance to a new approach procedure, and evaluate both fuel and on-time-performance impacts of flight configurations (eg. flaps or speedbrake patterns).
You can deep‑dive investigations: analyze all types of situations by isolating custom flight portions from FDR data, build ad‑hoc studies internally instead of launching external projects.
Continuous advanced monitoring: Turn successfull one-off studies into automatically computed indicators you and your pilots can follow on a daily basis. Custom Flight Indicators helps you enrich you analytics stack and make it match to both internal vocabulary and SOPs.
How long does it take to compute results?
A few minutes for a dozen indicators on thousands of flight. Less than 30minutes for a complete history of flights.
