OPERATIONAL ANALYTICS

What's NOVA OA and what does it offer?

NOVA OA is a software solution designed for conducting in-depth weather analyses tailored to Innovative Air Mobility (IAM). It analyzes historical weather data over a selected period of time at locations relevant for the planned operations. The weather data is evaluated on an hourly basis considering the envisioned concept of operations.

To create individual analyses, you may select one of four simulation types with varying levels of detail. OA-specific assets tailored to your needs can be created and re-used. Analyses can be edited and tweaked once they are finished.

The difference compared to the NOVA simulations NOW, AWARE, and CAST lies in the fact that OA focuses exclusively on weather data from the past enabling long-term, strategic business planning.

As with the other simulation types, you can set limits in OA to analyze whether the weather data falls within the nominal, moderate, or critical range and draw conclusions regarding operational planning based on this. In contrast, however, you do not receive an automatic assessment of flight feasibility after the evaluation but a visualized historical dataset that allows you to estimate the likelihood of nominal, moderate, and critical weather conditions.
