CEFA Aviation is a privately owned French company specializing in flight data animation and analysis to advance aviation safety, pilot training, and operational excellence. With more than 25 years of experience, CEFA transforms complex flight data into intuitive visualizations that help aviation professionals better understand aircraft behavior and pilot decision-making.

Trusted by more than 100 airlines, cargo operators, and investigative authorities across five continents, the company’s core software, CEFA FAS (Flight Animation System), delivers high-fidelity 3D replays for flight safety analysis, training, and incident investigation.

Its latest innovation, CEFA AMS (Aviation Mobile Services), brings this expertise directly to pilots through a secure mobile platform that provides flight replays shortly after landing. By visualizing both automated system behavior and manual inputs, CEFA AMS helps pilots review their performance, strengthen decision-making, and continuously improve situational awareness.

TESTIMONIALS

The signing of this 6-year agreement with CEFA Aviation marks the beginning of the next chapter in Ryanair pilot training. CEFA Aviation’s flight replay will set new standards for delivering constructive feedback to our crews in a way that would have been impossible to imagine without the innovative approach to secure data processing that has been delivered by CEFA Aviation’s team.

Captain Andy O’Shea, Head of Crew Training - Ryanair

Besides using CEFA FAS for aviation experts, I found that it also helps for an audience which has no aviation-expertise at all. Visualising the data supports everybody’s understanding and creates a shared ‘mental model’. And CEFA is clearly the gold standard when it comes to FDM visualization!

Julian Oehling, Flight Safety Specialist, Airline Pilot - Lufthansa

To a great team and an efficient tool! Because safety will always be our top priority, we’ve chosen to work with the best!
