Register to view this On-Demand Webinar (recorded 27th July 2023) to learn about the latest strategies and technology available to securely manage all mobile devices (iPads, smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc.), as used by mechanics on the line and in the hangar.  With airlines and MROs globally embarking on digital transformation projects, mobile devices used by mechanics are becoming as important as physical tools to carry out the work.  But should an airline or MRO provide each Mechanic with their own personal mobile device or adopt a shared device strategy? How do you ensure that each device is fully updated with all technical publications, OEMS manuals, internal and external Apps, to ensure compliance and to keep the mechanic at the aircraft side? Join M3 Solutions and industry experts from AeroATeam as they discuss and answer these key questions sharing experiences from Air Canada’s extensive mobile device management project. First, the panel looks at the challenges and benefits for airlines and MROs when transitioning to mobile maintenance, including regulatory compliance, managing technical publications, the change management process, costs, efficiency savings, and more. Next, the discussion focuses on whether to provide mechanics with dedicated mobile devices or adopt a shared device strategy. As you will see, after an extensive evaluation process, Air Canada chose shared devices.

Finally, you will see an overview of the next-gen smart kiosk from M3 Solutions, as used by Air Canada to ensure its engineering teams have up-to-date and always ready mobile devices. You will see how the Kiosk, as developed with Air Canada, offers so much more than a secure charging solution, with device tracking using barcode and RFID technology, and crucially how the IT team can use the Kiosk’s advanced features to ensure each device, when docked in the Kiosk, is automatically synchronized with the latest key documentation such as OEM Technical Publications,software and App updates from third party suppliers such as Boeing Toolbox or Inventory / Spare Parts providers, ensuring the Mechanic is able to perform their tasks quickly and with full compliance at the aircraft side.

The Webinar is divided into three key sections:

  • Challenges and Benefits for Airlines and MROs in the Transition to Mobile Maintenance
    First the panel of experts discuss the challenges and benefits for airlines and MROs when transitioning to mobile line and hangar maintenance, including regulatory compliance, managing technical publications, change management process, costs, efficiency savings, and more.  You will hear a breakdown of how airlines and MROs are currently handling this transition and valuable insights on best practices and strategies;in particular the importance of the transition from paper-based operations to digital formats in relation to compliance, risk migration, and operations efficiency.

  • Dedicated Mobile Devices or Shared Devices Strategy? Which is best?
    The discussion next focuses on whether airlines and MROs should provide mechanics with dedicated mobile devices or adopt a shared device strategy.  You will learn about the challenges that stem from using a dedicated device model over a shared device model when managing and synchronizing technical publications, maintenance manuals, and other key apps and content; as well as ensuring the device is always fully charged and ready and not compromised with viruses due to external use. Using examples from Air Canada’s own mobile project you will see why a shared device model is crucial for keeping cost of ownership low, maintaining security, and improving operational performance.  Ultimately, the IT and logistics department can take ownership of the device management and associated problems and updates, whilst the mechanics and can focus on their tasks at hand.

  • Overview of the Mobile Device Management Platform: The M3 Platform
    Finally, you will see an overview of the next-gen smart kiosk from M3 Solutions, as used by Air Canada to ensure its engineering teams have up-to-date and always ready mobile devices. You will see how the Kiosk has evolved as Air Canada’s mobile maintenance project matured, and offers so much more than a secure charging solution, with device tracking using barcode and RFID technology, and, crucially, how the IT team can use the Kiosk’s advanced features to ensure each device, when docked in the Kiosk, is automatically and remotely synchronized with the latest key documentation such as OEM Technical Publications, software and App updates from third party suppliers such as Boeing Toolbox or Inventory / Spare Parts providers; and even operating systems such as a new iOS or Android version,  ensuring the Mechanic is able to perform their tasks quickly and with full compliance at the point of maintenance.

Real-Time Flight Turnaround Optimizer and Process Management App Demo Webinar [Real-Time Alerts to Problems; Data-Driven Analysis to Improve OTP; Optimize Efficiency – APU Burn Analysis; CASM Reduction; ACARS and Systems Integrations; more]

Register to view this On-Demand Webinar (recorded 25th May 2023) to see a demo and overview of the nextgen real-time flight turn process management App: ClearPort from data and connectivity specialists FLYHT.  As you will see ClearPort is specifically designed to provide all key personnel for each flight (pilots, flight crew, airport leader, OCC, dispatch, gate, maintenance, etc.) with real-time, automated progress reporting of each turn, and customized alerts to any problems, or potential problems; before they happen, thereby limiting unmet aircraft at the gate, and optimizing the entire turn process.  You will also see how ClearPoint can assist an airline to lower its cost per available seat mile (CASM) through optimizing the efficiency of each turnaround, including monitoring APU fuel burn at the gate, and minimizing the amount of time needed for a turn. Plus, you will see how data analytics provides airlines with the necessary tools to analyse the entire turn process over time and evaluate which portions are being met successfully and which need to be improved, even if there is not a delay; for example, catering loading, or bridge driving thereby optimizing future OTP.  The data additionally provides airlines with evidence to push the airport and external contractors to deliver a more optimum service.

As you will see, ClearPort is suitable for all airlines of all sizes and requires minimal airline IT support.  The App integrates with key systems such as ACARS messages from the aircraft allowing all personnel to see live status such as delays in-flight, or holding time, or auto-updates on the ground. Additionally, integrating with the airline’s reservation system allows ClearPort to automate most above wing timestamps showing the boarding process in real-time. Plus, by using FLYHT’s state-of-the-art AFIRS EDGE 5G WQAR/AID solution on-board the aircraft, ClearPoint receives all the data it needs to fully manage the airline’s turns and improve processes.

The Webinar is divided into the following six sections:

  • The Challenges Facing Airlines in the Turnaround Process; ClearPort Intro
    First, we will dive into real and impactful problems that airlines face, such as Catering Loading, APU Burn at Gate, and Unmet Aircraft, and how ClearPort can help. The lack of visibility into these controllable processes results in unnecessary CASM increases. The impact of these issues can easily result in millions of dollars in fuel being wasted.  Additionally, due to lack of visibility and technology, the airport turn process has been stuck in a cycle of reactive actions that often take place long after a delay has occurred. And because real-time information isn’t readily available, this leads to many unproductive conversations that focus on who’s to blame for a delay rather than focusing on the processes that are not under control.

    You will see how ClearPort can solve these problems by having the ability to see ALL data from a turn process with real-time alerting across the fleet. We solve the problem of the lack of data by helping your organization capture every single process of the turn. 
  • ClearPoint Overview – A Clear Window into the Turn Process
    Powered by AWS and a part of FLYHT’s JetBridge software suite, ClearPort gives airlines the tools to fix the problem now rather than trying to figure out what happened in the past. You will hear a deep dive into quantifying the cost of delays, CASM reduction, and how to understand what processes are in control and not in control. As you will see ClearPort gives airline’s the tools to know what’s happening at every gate, no matter where they are located.

    The solution to the complex problems is to look at the entire turn process in order to evaluate which portions of the turn are being met successfully and which ones need to be improved. ClearPort enables airlines to look at all portions of the turn in real time allowing key staff to act before a delay occurs and to see which processes are under control even if there is not a delay in place. ClearPort takes a two-pronged approach to improving OTP and Lowering CASM – outlined in the key features next.

  • ClearPoint Key Features 1: Real-Time Alerting
    The unique alerting engine allows airlines to customize alerts for processes that it is focusing on like APU shut off or when the ground handlers are late to the gate. These alerts are sent to leadership in time for them to get to the gate and fix the problem before costs or delays are incurred. FLYHT’s easy-to-use apps are available on the Google Play or Apple Store so that everyone can see how each turn is progressing. Once the expectation has been set with third-party contractors that each turn will be monitored, performance will improve across the board.

  • ClearPoint Key Features 2: Turn Process Improvement Focus
    For an airline that is operating with an on-time performance of 79.8%, airline management would normally focus on the 20.2% of the turns that result in a delay. However, ClearPort allows airlines to even see the processes that need attention during the turns but that do not reach the delay threshold. Airline’s often get caught in the trap of assuming that because a flight left on time, it therefore did not have issues that needed to be addressed. For off peak times, the load factor alone may allow an airline to get out on time even though processes are not followed according to standard. For example, most airlines do not look at bridge driving as something that can cause delays unless there is a significant bridge malfunction. Once an airline knows how long it takes for certain bridges to drive, it can now build that milestone into its turn and monitor its performance. Airlines can use this information as evidence to push the airport to improve the airport conditions. Airlines can also set a standard with 3rd party contractors on when certain processes, like water and lavs, need to occur. If these standards are not met, the airline can hold the contractor accountable even without an actual delay occurring.

  • ClearPort Easy Implementation – In-House Subject Matter Expertise
    In this section you will Learn about the easy integration process of ClearPort which requires minimal involvement of the IT team, and the data that is needed to power the software.  You will see how easy it is to integrate ClearPort into any operations and for the flight crew and everyone in an airline’s team to start using the App – with minimal airline IT support needed.

    As you will see by using FLYHT’s state-of-the-art on-board AFIRS Edge device, an airline will receive all the information it needs to manage turns and improve processes. By integrating with the reservation system ClearPort can automate most above wing timestamps allowing airlines to see all boarding processes in real time. FLYHT can also leverage the ACARS messages an airline is collecting — ClearPort will allow you to view all above wing and limited below wing milestones.  Coupled with the reservation system integration this will give an in-depth view of the turn processes.

  • ClearPort Demo: The Turn Process and Detailed View for a Typical Flight
    Finally, get a chance to see the ClearPort App in action with a demo. By tapping into historical data for all turns, not just turns with delays, the App can capture all processes of each turn and provide an airline’s team with the beacon to be able to make informed and evidence-backed decisions and improvements to improve On-Time Performance and Turn Performance.  You will see how ClearPort can provide answers and help everyone in the organization understand the quality of turn processes. Join FLYHT as they walkthrough the milestones of a typical turn and how real-time alerting allows airlines to solve problems before they turn into costs.

Register to view this On-Demand Webinar (recorded 2nd March 2023) to see a demo and overview of the industry’s first collaboration tool designed specifically to connect, in one app, all key personnel for each flight (pilots, OCC, dispatch, ramp, gate, maintenance, cabin crew, etc.) and provide real-time information and updates ensuring quick turnaround and maximizing on-time performance. During the Webinar SITA experts will show how common, existing communication channels can fall short in creating an open collaboration environment. This creates poor flow of information and instructions that can cause minor errors, mounting up to large delays at the end of the day’s operation. You will see how the SITA Mission Control App solves these issues and allows all duty personnel to easily manage each flight with clear visibility of real-time status through sharing information and instructions from a single platform to everyone involved in the flight. As well as manual entries such as ‘catering loading’ or ‘fuelling’ from ground crew, or ‘wheelchair requested’, additionally you will also see how the ACARS connection links updates from the aircraft to the App allowing all personnel to see live status such as delays in-flight, or holding time, or auto-updates on the ground such as ‘cargo door open’. Pilots and Cabin Crew can also use the App in-flight to alert OCC or maintenance of any potential issues which can be dealt with on arrival to reduce turnaround time or to alert ground crew to the expected fuel needed at turnaround. Built using the Microsoft Teams platform, you will see how all duty personnel can easily access the App via desktop or mobile devices using familiar software. 

The Webinar begins with a look at the challenges airlines face using existing communication channels, and how one missed communication or update can cause knock-on effects, snowballing into large delays at the end of the day. In a recent EASA bulletin (EASA SIB No.: 2022-06), increased collaboration is stated as a key recommendation for airlines in improving operation efficiency and safety.  You will then see a full overview of the SITA Missions Control App outlining the key benefits, with a look at the latest developments, including the dedicated Turnaround Module.  Finally, you will see a full Mission Control demo.

Digital Twin Solution for Modelling Aviation Maintenance Costs, Capacity Planning, Hangar Visit Scenarios, and Optimizing Task Cards Demo Webinar [Data Management with Explainable AI & ATA Specifications; Model Hangar Visit Costs; Data Wrangling]

Register to view this On-Demand Webinar (recorded 16th February 2023) to see the latest developments in Digital Twin technology for aviation with a demo of Digital FinTwin® (Financial Twin), the new Data Science as a Service (DSaaS) solution from KeepFlying® for modelling aircraft and engine maintenance costs, hangar and shop visit scenarios, capacity planning, optimizing work scope and task cards, and more. As you will see, FinTwin® interfaces with and draws data from the MRO / M&E System, as well as other digital sources of maintenance, airworthiness and operational data (mainly scanned PDFs). AI/ML techniques are then applied to the Data; providing airlines, lessors and MRO facilities with the tools needed to generate aircraft, engine or component specific what-if-simulations to model future scenarios.  You will see how Digital FinTwin® uses an advanced data management platform (SpXchange™) utilizing Explainable AI and ATA Specifications to ‘wrangle’ data from different sources and in different formats for full integration and integrity, and to facilitate the seamless exchange of data within the maintenance ecosystem, such as for lease returns, or check returns, etc.  During the Webinar you will see how SpXchange™ can be used to analyse and optimize task card revisions potentially savings 100s of man-hours.

KeepFlying® experts will then demo two FinTwin®solutions. Firstly, you will see the FinTwin® Aircraft or Engine Owner / Lessor Edition which generates scenarios used to maximize the revenue potential of and mitigate potential risks to an Asset over its remaining Useful Life (RUL). For example, what will happen if maintenance checks are reduced, or the aircraft is flown at a higher thrust rating, or in a more corrosive environment? How will that effect RUL, as well as impact key factors such as LLPs, maintenance reserves, etc. How does this impact redelivery of an Engine given the contractual redelivery conditions that the asset needs to comply with?  Secondly, you will see the Edition, which allows MRO Facilities to model different hangar and shop visit scenarios ahead of the arrival of the aircraft, engine, or components, such as variations in work scopes and non-routines, and predicting scrap rates of components before he engine or aircraft comes in to shop in order to plan ahead and maximise profitability and reduce turnaround time.  Finally, you will see some upcoming developments such as advanced functions to manage complex aircraft and engine redeliveries.

The webinar is split into five sections:
