Comply365’s ProAuthor to Provide Automated Workflows, Reusable Content, and Standards Tracking

Beloit, WI – FEB. 9, 2022 – Aviation software leader Comply365 is pleased to announce its newest customer, SunExpress will soon leverage a more efficient and streamlined process to create and deliver smart content to its frontline crews.

SunExpress, a leisure carrier based in Antalya, Turkey, recently selected ProAuthor, Comply365’s end-to-end operational content and compliance management system that enables faster, more routine manual revisions, and enables airlines to always be audit-ready.

While SunExpress has already been digitally delivering operational content to its pilots and flight attendants, the airline needed a better way to manage the authoring and distribution process.

SunExpress is a joint venture of Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa that operates scheduled and chartered passenger flights to 90 destinations in 30 countries. It operates a fleet of more than 50 Boeing 737-800/-8 aircraft.

“We warmly welcome SunExpress as the first Turkish airline in the Comply365 community, and we look forward to a strong partnership together,” Comply365 CEO Tom Samuel said. “While SunExpress already has seen success with digital delivery of operational content, the flexibility of our solutions provides value to airlines in every stage of the digital transformation journey – providing them the ability to further improve the efficiency, safety, and compliance of their operations.”

ASQS is very pleased to accompany FLYONE Armenia in building a solid safety culture from the very beginning following that of long-standing partner and parent company FLYONE Moldova. By opting for IQSMS, the subsidiary in Armenia is establishing a systematic and automated approach to safety, compliance and risk management.

The private airline FLYONE, based in Chișinău, Moldova, was founded in 2015 and currently operates a mixed fleet of Airbus A319 and Airbus A320s. Launching its AOC in Armenia, the airline is only one of a handful of airlines to launch during a pandemic.

After receiving the National Air Operator Certificate in October 2021, FLYONE ARMENIA started regular direct operations from the capital Yerevan at Zvartnots International Airport to Lyon Saint-Exupery Airport in late December 2021.

Like its parent company in Molodova, FLYONE Armenia follows the highest safety and quality standards in operational management by implementing the three core modules – Quality Management, Reporting and Risk Management – as well as three of the enhancement modules: Document Distribution, Emergency Response Planning and Survey Module.

The entire ASQS team is pleased to continue the long-standing cooperation with FLYONE and welcomes the new subsidiary FLYONE ARMENIA.

With the opening of the third global office in Calgary in 2021, ASQS can now offer customer support in North America and seamless 24h support worldwide. In cooperation with Eastern Airlines, ASQS is more than excited to launch IQSMS on the US market.

Based in Wayne, Pennsylvania, Eastern Airlines was looking for an experienced and trustworthy partner who was able to fit their requirements as its future safety and quality management software provider. After an in-depth analysis, IQSMS was chosen to manage all safety, quality and risk related data.

Sr. Director of Safety and Security at Eastern, Doug Neufeldt, said “Eastern was looking for a system that could combine all of our safety, quality, and other data in a single platform that could help us manage and visualize our data, at a reasonable price point, with the flexibility our diverse operation needed, and IQSMS hit all of those marks”.

Originally founded in 1926, the airline was brought back to the skies initially in 2015, and is currently operating a fleet of Boeing 767-200 and 767-300 aircraft.

The airline connects the US with otherwise underserved international destinations and enables safe, non-stop service from the US to several destinations in Latin and South America. Besides their scheduled operations the company also operates on behalf of the US Department of Defence (DoD) and has more big plans for the upcoming year utilizing B777 aircraft as they begin their Eastern Air Cargo operations.

As Eastern Airlines received it’s IOSA certification in 2021, the company is joining a club of 61 IOSA certified airlines using IQSMS in their daily operations.

Besides the three core modules, the Quality, Reporting and Risk Management, including the offline applications, Eastern Airlines will also implement the FDM Risk Module as well as the Document Distribution Module. To suit the specific organisational requirements, ASQS will customize IQSMS to interface with their crew planning software “Skedflex” as well as “AMOS” for maintenance related information.

Airlines and flight crews will have real-time access to Honeywell Forge Flight Efficiency insights, creating new opportunities for fuel savings

PHOENIX, Feb. 15, 2022 — Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) has launched a new mobile app for pilots that is designed to improve fuel savings while increasing crew interaction throughout the flight. The new Honeywell Forge Pilot Connect app will work with Honeywell Forge Flight Efficiency to better enable flight efficiency insights and recommendations. The mobile app will be available in the app store for Honeywell Forge Flight Efficiency customers in March 2022.

Honeywell Forge Pilot Connect will provide improved situational awareness and give a clear overview of how it can boost flight efficiency. Combined with pilots’ collective flying experience, airlines will be able to seamlessly integrate fuel efficiency information into their flight briefing and debriefing process. A key advantage of the app is that airlines can customize the flight efficiency insights they share.

More than 3,000 aircraft rely on Honeywell Forge Flight Efficiency, an enterprise performance management solution, to improve flight efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. Key features of the platform are:

• Advanced Trajectory Analytics: Machine learning algorithms can automatically detect flight events and procedures such as automated shortcut detection, holding detection, acceleration altitude reduction and continuous descent operations, among others.
• Deep Data Analysis: Airlines can use the platform to analyze multiple disparate sources of data simultaneously to measure performance and derive insights for more efficient operations. Users can either use the pre-defined analytics and reports or define their own custom queries.
• Emissions Reduction: Reducing fuel consumption is the best way for an airline to cut emissions while reducing operating costs. Honeywell Forge Flight Efficiency is designed to improve fuel efficiency, assisting with reducing direct fuel costs as well as the additional cost of offsetting carbon emissions.

Honeywell Forge software solutions serve the aircraft, building, industrial, worker and cybersecurity segments. Honeywell Forge often replaces multiple-point solutions, connecting stakeholders across an organization to provide a unified system of record for operations-related data.

Paperless forms with Form Builder

Do you have multiple staff across departments creating different forms in various programs; leading to forms in different locations, being printed off and making it difficult to keep an audit trail?

Time to introduce you to the skybook Form Builder.

Form Builder allows operators to create custom interactive forms. These digital forms can be managed in one place for auditing control and shared to other departments or to the EFB app for First Officers and Pilots to complete.

Creating an operational form is as easy as drag and drop and it removes the need for any external support as it is exceptionally user friendly. Once happy with the form after previewing it; you can then simply share it to anyone.

Of course, the option is always still there to print a version off, should you ever need to…

Digital Document Management Library

Our Document Management Library really is a game changer for any airlines looking for efficiency.

Simply put, it is digital central library to store and distribute aircraft manuals, operational documents and more. Giving pilots easy access to documents via the electronic flight bag, as well as dispatchers and operational staff via the web-based Ground Portal.

All documents are managed and updated within a simple folder structure. This means pilots have access to the most up-to-date aircraft documents they need for each flight.

EFB users also can annotate, highlight and make notes on documents that have been downloaded.

These annotations are visible to other team members, so they are aware of any vital information that is highlighted.
