We are experts in flight animation
CEFA Aviation enhances pilot training and flight safety by developing world-leading 3D animation software and services. The innovative solutions developed by its experts recreate flights with high detail and accuracy based on data from aircraft flight recorders.
More than 80 major and regional airlines, cargo operators and investigative authorities on five continents are using the core software of the company, CEFA FAS (Flight Animation System) for pilot training and safety analysis.
Translating flight data into precise visualization requires in-depth understanding of the complexity of aircraft systems and software engineering. CEFA Aviation has been a pioneer in easy-to-use flight data animation since Dominique Mineo founded the company in 2000. Its long-lasting success is attributable to a passion for aviation and innovation, listening to its clients, and delivering gold-standard support. The CEFA Aviation team is headquartered in the Alsace region of France.
At the Dubai Airshow 2017, CEFA Aviation unveiled a new breakthrough visualization tool to further enhance and personalize pilot training: CEFA AMS (Aviation Mobile Services).
