Empowered by the Ditto Platform, Logipad’s Electronic Flight Bag enables pilots and copilots to
collaborate in offline environments

Logipad, a leading provider of Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) solutions, is excited to announce its
collaboration with Ditto, the creator of a real-time database that can sync data with or without the
internet. Through its integration with the Ditto Platform, Logipad’s EFB system can now function
completely cloud-optional, enabling a more reliable digital collaboration experience for pilots and
copilots and ensuring a quicker turnaround for planes.

Logipad’s new EFB system automatically detects nearby pilot devices and establishes the best
available connection to sync quickly, cellular or Wi-Fi when internet is available, or local networks
such as Bluetooth Low Energy, Local Area Network, and Peer-to-Peer Wi-Fi in offline situations. This
intelligent background synchronization enables pilots to enter data on any connected device and
have it instantly update across all synced devices without manual interaction.

In pre-flight situations where pilot data sync is crucial to airplane turnaround, Logipad’s real-time
syncing capability allows pilots and copilots to collaborate in the cockpit and other offline
environments, ensuring that reliable data sync insn’t a hindrance to takeoff. The synchronization
includes eForm data within the briefing, allowing for more efficient data management. Furthermore,
annotations within a PDF belonging to the EFB package are also synchronized, streamlining the
workflow for pilots.

In addition, Logipad has introduced a new “DIRECT” feature within the flight log. Pilots can now
select a start and endpoint for a direct route, marking it with ABEAM values to input fuel and time
data. Multiple “DIRECT” entries can also be added as required.

Logipad remains committed to improving the efficiency and convenience of EFB solutions for aviation
professionals. The integration with Ditto significantly enhances the user experience of Logipad’s EFB
system by providing real-time syncing capabilities across devices, enabling pilots to work seamlessly
and collaboratively.

TOKYO, JAPAN: Japanese aircraft engine manufacturer and maintenance provider IHI, has completed its deployment of Rusada’s ENVISION software, transitioning to paperless MRO in the process.

IHI’s Life Cycle Solution Division, Aero Engine, Space & Defence Business Area, headquartered in Tokyo, focuses on the maintenance of V2500, GEnx, CF34, and PW1100G-JM engine components. Previously its maintenance teams used an array of spreadsheets and paper records to manage their library of task cards which caused numerous issues. This included the continuous updating of task card data upon OEM maintenance manual revisions, as well as the inability to record inspection results on the cards themselves.

To address these issues IHI selected, and have now implemented, ENVISION’s Digital Task Card functionality.

“Our previous process was far too time consuming and made it difficult for regulators to see the decisions we had made and why” said Tomoyuki Chida, Head of Quality Engineering Group at the division of IHI. “With ENVISION now in place we can realise significant time savings, automatically validate task input, and provide our technicians with useful supporting information, all without the need for paper.”

ENVISION achieves this through a series of functions. First, IHI imports manuals into the system, and the task cards within are extracted and set up as digital records. Users can then customize these with additional fields and functions such as electronic signoffs, feedback capture, and alternate task procedures. When manuals are revised, the underlying task card data can be automatically updated while keeping any customized content intact.

“As a software provider it always incredibly satisfying when we can take a very manual and time-consuming process and create functionality that can perform it in the blink of an eye” comments Julian Stourton, CEO at Rusada. “IHI’s willingness to adapt and their desire for continuous improvement is truly commendable and has made them the perfect early adopter of this functionality.”

About Rusada

Rusada is a leading provider of aviation software with over 35 years of experience in the industry. Its ENVISION software manages over 2,000 fixed and rotary wing aircraft for 150 operators, maintainers, and manufacturers in 50+ countries. With its headquarters in Switzerland and offices in the USA, UK, UAE, India, Singapore, and Australia, Rusada provides global support for a global industry.

Specialising in the management of airworthiness, maintenance, and flight operations, ENVISION is developed solely for aviation. Its modern, web-based platform features a suite of integrated modules, enhanced by a series of native mobile apps. ENVISION’s easy-to-use interface provides users with clear, actionable information, enabling processes to be carried out quickly and efficiently, and all without the need for paper or spreadsheets.

Streamlining Aviation Maintenance & Operations with Seamless eTechlog Integration in AMOS 23.6

At a glance

• – AMOSeTL now available for production use in AMOS version 23.6
• – SunExpress scheduled as first go-live customer in October 2023
• – AMOSeTL sets a new standard for electronic technical logbooks with its streamlined integration capabilities

Around two years ago, Swiss-AS has initiated its AMOSeTL project, and the first line of code has been written in November 2021. Today, we are pleased to announce a major milestone: the release of AMOSeTL in AMOS version 23.6 ready for productive use. We are also thrilled to share that SunExpress, one of our esteemed funding customers, is scheduled to go live with AMOSeTL in October 2023, marking the first productive implementation of this innovative solution. 

AMOSeTL represents the culmination of extensive research, development, and dedication to delivering a mature and functionally advanced product. The strong traction and interest we have received from within the aviation industry confirm that we are on the right track. We are confident that this first implementation will showcase the full potential of AMOSeTL and further solidify its reputation as an industry-leading solution.

SunExpress will complete the final phase of the “Paperless Aircraft Maintenance Operations Project” with the use of AMOSeTL, as it will ultimately replace the paper-based Technical Log System. SunExpress is the first airline to implement paperless aircraft maintenance in Türkiye and among one of the few airlines worldwide. SunExpress is constantly improving its processes for greater efficiency and sustainability.

AMOSeTL: Redefining Integration

One of the key selling points of AMOSeTL lies in its unique integration capabilities. Unlike other solutions, AMOSeTL eliminates the complexities and costs associated with configuring complex interfaces. Our streamlined approach offers a plug-and-play integration experience that is unparalleled in the industry. By leveraging AMOSeTL’s pre-built integration capabilities, AMOS customers can enjoy a seamless and successful deployment, saving valuable time and resources.

Concrete Examples of Seamless Integration:

• – When a pilot opens a PIREP, AMOSeTL instantly generates a workorder in AMOS
• – Defect closures or deferrals by maintenance are automatically synchronized with AMOS, providing real-time updates

Furthermore, it offers a two-way communication, ensuring seamless integration accross the whole product suite. Indeed, closing a workorder from AMOSmobile/EXEC or AMOS will update AMOSeTL in less than a second.

Pilots, mechanics, cabin crew, and back-office staff will always have the most up-to-date data at their fingertips whenever connectivity is available. Additionally, AMOSeTL seamlessly works offline for several legs, automatically pushing data to AMOS as soon as it is back online.

As we move forward with our funding and new customers, our product roadmap is focused on continuous improvement, with regular updates and enhancements planned to ensure that AMOSeTL remains the natural choice for an AMOS customer looking for an electronic technical logbook. 

Please contact our dedicated team at marketing@swiss-as.com to learn more about AMOSeTL and how it can digitize your Techlog book management.
