Intuos CEO Carolina Gianardi to Join AI Flight Training Safety Panel at Ascend 2026

Texas, USA – Italian aviation technology provider Intuos will participate in the inaugural Ascend Flight Training Summit in Dallas, with Founder and CEO Carolina Gianardi joining a panel examining how artificial intelligence is changing risk management within flight training organisations.

• Gianardi is scheduled to participate on September 10 from 1:15–2:00 p.m. CDT in the panel “Safety by Design: How AI Is Changing Risk Management in Flight Training,” moderated by Piotr Dlugiewicz and also featuring Cedric Paillard, Felipe Santiago, John Seal and Katherine Odland.
• The session is aimed at students and flight school owners and will address the use of AI to track student progression, identify risk patterns, support safety culture and improve operational oversight, alongside the continuing role of instructor and management judgement.
• Intuos develops an integrated aviation platform combining flight school operations management, training records, real-time flight data monitoring and analytics. Its flight-school offering includes automatic detection of altitude, speed and G-force exceedances, 3D flight replay and data-supported competency tracking.
• The company’s Inflight Monitor Unit captures aircraft telemetry at two-second intervals, including aircraft attitude and acceleration data, with information transmitted to cloud-based systems for flight monitoring and analysis. Intuos positions the technology for applications including training debriefing and the detection of operational exceedances.
• Intuos raised EUR720,000 in February 2026 to complete technology development and support expansion into the United States after establishing activity in Europe and South Africa.
• The company subsequently joined the National Business Aviation Association as part of its US market development and visited Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Daytona Beach campus during a US expansion trip in April 2026.
• AFM previously reported that Intuos partnered with South African flight school Aviation Junction in May 2026 to deploy flight-data visibility and operational analytics for debriefing, safety management and standardisation across an expanding multi-base training operation.
• AFM also interviewed Gianardi in March 2025, when Intuos described its strategy of using AI, IoT devices and operational software to provide flight schools with real-time aircraft data and pilot-performance insights while expanding beyond Italy into international markets. Listen to the interview here.
• Ascend Flight Training Summit will take place from September 8–10, 2026 at the Crowne Plaza Dallas Market Center Love Field, with a September 8 welcome reception at the Frontiers of Flight Museum. The event is a joint venture between AeroSummit and the National Association of Flight Instructors and is designed for student pilots, CFIs and flight school leadership.
• The wider September 10 programme also includes a separate session on using AI as a virtual assistant and a roundtable on AI in flight training, placing artificial intelligence among the technology themes being addressed during the inaugural summit.
