Unveiling the Insights of Flight History Data


In this article, I break down what happens to flight data once the pilot signs off on the EFB.

Imagine having instant access to your entire flight history within operations - Record Vault makes it possible!




The History of Flight Data

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.
 

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, seamlessly receives the skybook EFB data in an instant! Gone are the days of waiting for manually inputted information. 

A complete dashboard displaying all flight phase data recorded by the pilot, including:


Organised for quick analysis, strategic flight planning, and easy sharing with others.

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

The status events timeline shows 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.

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.

Prioritising user experience for easy navigation, customization and empowering operators extract meaningful insights effortlessly.

Elevating Safety & Compliance

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.
