The skybook E-Tech Log allows users to capture view and distribute vital aircraft information and defects, feeding the data directly back to the ground team upon arrival at the latest.
E-Tech Log replaces outdated paper-based technical logs with a user-friendly intuitive platform. The module captures each aspect of the Log digitally and shares this information with all relevant departments seamlessly.
As a result, this digital development reduces inputting times, removes duplication, lowers workloads for both engineering and aircrews in turn improving operational efficiency for departments involved in the process.
Being digital, transcription errors associated with paper-based logs are minimalised, and the technology ensures information is delivered to the Operations and Engineering departments in realtime to make informed decisions on the deployment of personnel and spares to the aircraft saving time in the process and keeping to on-time performance.
Traditional logs remain in the cockpit, and the enclosed information is not readily available to teams outside the cockpit.
E-Tech Log is accessible on any desktop and tablet device and ensures contained information is readily available to relevant departments and not just the flight deck. Information is always up-to-date and instantly usable and the time preparing regulatory audits and post-flight analysis is dramatically reduced because the data has already been collated.
A digital tech log will never run out of paper and users have remote access to pre-flight information such as defects and fuel level, allowing them to make informed decisions ahead of time reducing the number of delayed voyages.
The reduction in flight delays increases passenger experience and minimises the number of compensation claims made. Delays can also happen due to the misplacement of a physical tech log. A digital version solves this issue and maintains operational efficency.
Aircraft deficiencies are automatically sent to Maintenance and Operations departments post-flight, speeding up the rectification of the defects.
The defects dashboard allows maintenance teams to effectively plan scheduled maintenance and monitor defect trends which improves safety and potentially leads to fewer grounded planes and an increase in revenue.
Mistakes are common in paper-based tech logs both during the initial data entry such as missing signatures and subsequent transcription which can be time-consuming and labour intensive to rectify.
The E-Tech Log reduces the need for paper-based documentation and increases the accuracy of inputted data. Because it has already been collated, the time and number of staff required to process the post-flight data will be reduced.
