Imagine having instant access to your entire flight history within operations - Record Vault makes it possible!
In the early days of aviation, flight history data was a collection of handwritten notes, to capture the basics of each journey.
Now every twist, turn, and altitude change is recorded; and airlines undergo routine audits to ensure compliance with safety standards and regulations.
Within Record Vault, flight data history is automatically transmitted from the pilots electronic flight bag (EFB) and presented in a user-friendly summary, with years worth of available data and retrievable reports.
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, seamlessly receives the skybook EFB data in an instant! Gone are the days of waiting for manually inputted information.

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.
Prioritising user experience for easy navigation, customization and empowering operators extract meaningful insights effortlessly.
Operators rely on the Flight history data to meet regulatory requirements, conduct post-flight audits, enhance operational efficiency and safety.
An 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.
