# Airflow — Jeppesen ForeFlight

> Airflow is Jeppesen ForeFlight's aviation AI platform. It delivers **Aviation
> Intelligence**: AI that reasons in context over 90+ years of certified aviation
> data, shows its work, and keeps a human in the operational seat.

## What Airflow is

- **Aviation Intelligence, not just AI.** Airflow applies Causal Decision
  Intelligence — reasoning through cause and effect — rather than surface pattern
  matching, so outputs are explainable and operationally trustworthy.
- **Built on certified data.** It reasons from Jeppesen ForeFlight's aviation
  context graph, the authoritative record of how aviation operates, so outputs
  inherit regulatory provenance.
- **Auditable by design.** A patent-pending AI-SMS (AI Safety Management System)
  governs the platform and keeps humans in control. Every output can be reviewed.
- **Meets operators where they work.** Agents run across Jeppesen ForeFlight apps,
  third-party tools, and operators' own interfaces — cockpit to operations center,
  preflight to post-flight, for more than a million pilots.
- **Scales on the operator's terms.** Start with an L1 advisor; scale toward
  greater autonomy (up to L4) when ready. The human stays in the seat.

## Key terms
