Intuos joins Ascend Flight Training Summit in Dallas
Intuos is heading to Dallas for the Ascend Flight Training Summit, the new joint venture between AeroSummit and the National Association of Flight Instructors (NAFI) that succeeds the long-running NAFI Summit.
Carolina Gianardi, CEO of Intuos, will join the panel Safety by Design: how AI is changing Risk Management in Flight Training
About the Panel
Safety is the foundation of every flight school, but managing it well has never been simple: from tracking student progress and spotting risk patterns, to staying ahead of incidents rather than reacting to them.
This panel brings together safety experts, aviation technology leaders, and flight school operators to discuss how AI is reshaping safety culture, risk mitigation, and operational oversight in flight training.
The conversation goes beyond the technology itself: what AI tools can realistically do for a flight school today, where human judgment still leads, and how to build a safety program that is both data-informed and instructor-driven.
Why this matters for Flight Schools & ATOs
For a training organization, safety and compliance aren’t just regulatory checkboxes: they’re a competitive asset.
This is also the direction Intuos’s own platform is heading. Our Audio Engine Monitor (AEM) is being integrated directly into our InFlight Data Monitoring solution.
The goal: a single plug-and-play device family that captures both flight behavior and engine health, in real time and post-flight, with automatic anomaly flagging, so safety and maintenance intelligence live in one place instead of two separate tools.
Training Reputation
A school known for proactive, data-informed safety practices stands out to prospective students, parents, and lending partners in a crowded market.
Audit Ready
When flight data updates records automatically, compliance stops being a scramble before every inspection and becomes a continuous, defensible record.
Risk Management
Automatic detection of hard landings, envelope exceedances, and abnormal patterns removes the reporting bias that comes with relying on self-reported incidents alone.
How the InFlight Data Monitoring Platform Supports Flight Schools
Beyond the panel conversation, this is the kind of problem Intuos’s InFlight Data Monitoring platform (IFU) is built to solve for training organizations day to day:
Student Training
Turn every flight into objective, data-driven debriefing material, so instructors and students can pinpoint exactly which maneuvers need more work.
Instructor Quality
Give every instructor the same evidence-based debriefing process and a common language, reducing variability in training quality across the school.
Safety Control
Detect abnormal maneuvers or events as they happen and move from reactive safety management to continuous, data-driven monitoring.
What Is Ascend?
The Ascend Flight Training Summit is a new, education-forward aviation conference launching in 2026, built to support every stage of the pilot training journey.
It brings together student pilots, Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs), and flight school leadership in a single, unified learning environment.
Developed as a joint venture between AeroSummit and NAFI, Ascend builds on the foundation of the long-running NAFI Summit while expanding into broader programming, deeper academic content, and a stronger focus on career readiness and professional progression across the training ecosystem.
