Unveiling the Insights of Flight History Data

In this article I explain what happens to the flight history data, once the pilot signs off the EFB device post-flight.

Wouldn't it be useful if all the data was instantly usable by flight operations staff?

Well with skybook it is... Introducing the Record Vault!

The History of Flight Data

In the early days of aviation, flight history data was a collection of handwritten notes, manually logged to capture the basics of each journey.

Now we find ourselves in an era where every twist, turn, and altitude change is recorded; and airlines undergo routine operational audits to ensure compliance with safety standards and regulations.

Within the skybook Record Vault flight data history is automatically extracted from the pilots electronic flight bag (EFB) and presented in a user-friendly summary, with up to 5 years’ worth of available data and retrievable reports.

Instantly Harnessing Data

Operators don't just want to capture flight history data, but also analyse the data of all their aircraft, highlighting trends or potential issues.

The Record Vault is the cornerstone of skybook, seamlessly receiving the EFB data in an instant! Gone are the days of waiting for manually inputted information.

A comprehensive dashboard that is a visual harmony of flight phase data, flight summary, fuel orders, navigation log and a collection of downloaded assets and reports; arranged for in-depth analysis, strategic planning and sharing.

In-depth Flight Summary

Record Vault offers a complete summary of a specific flights journey.

The status events timeline showcases crucial touchpoints along the journey. From the moment a flight plan is uploaded, or the aircraft taxis on the runway, to the landing approach, touchdown, and final sign-off by the pilot.

Every flight phase is captured with precision, including time and name stamps.

Accurate crew information is also included with details such as names, standby, duty times, and rest data; or when a crew member changes.

Departure delays show specific delay codes and additional information that is added by the crew.

Lastly a fuel comparison chart is detailed for the aircraft which includes planned, required and actual fuel onboard, plotted at each FIR. Providing comparative insights into the fuel performance of the flight and fuel efficiencies.

The intuitive design prioritises user experience, allowing for easy navigation, customization and empowering operators to tailor their experience and extract meaningful insights effortlessly.

Elevating Safety & Compliance

One cannot delve into flight history data without acknowledging its pivotal role in ensuring safety and compliance.

Operators rely on this treasure of information to meet regulatory requirements, conduct post-flight audits, and enhance overall operational efficiency.

A particularly important feature in the event of an incident, high level users can lock the flight sector in place, so that data cannot be updated or changed. This also hides the sector from view for other users, until it has been approved to unlock it.

Record Vault emerges as a key solution to airtight compliance and supporting the aviation industries continuous improvement.

Features That Soar

It's essential to shine a spotlight on some of the other features that makes Record Vault a must have for operators:
