Aviation software is completely revolutionizing the industry and propelling it toward a safer, more efficient, and more sustainable future. With a more intuitive technology platform that can manage everything from maintenance to manuals, anything is possible.
In most industries, modern software is something that is often discussed, but not always employed. But in the fast-paced world of aviation, it’s necessary. Your team needs accurate, timely information, and the ability to access data immediately to keep your operation running smoothly -- especially when things are changing by the second.
In this blog, we’ll discuss the top aviation trends in the industry, hear from experts in the field, and highlight what’s new in software and solutions.
1. Mobile Apps: Remember having to print out pages upon pages of directions from MapQuest to get you to an unfamiliar destination? Today’s technology is more accessible than ever before, and most times, right in the palm of your hand. A great software program should have a mobile application that offers secure and reliable data and keeps you updated from any corner of the globe, using a smartphone or tablet.
“Pilots have had iPads in the cockpit for a while now, but seeing technicians use them in the hangar or on the road is increasingly more common,” said John Koci, Customer Success Manager for Veryon. “Just having access to the aircraft data from your phone can be a lifesaver when you’re not at the hangar, and drastically reduce downtime when you need to quickly order a part or update the aircraft status. There are many other ways to highlight the need for mobile capabilities, but ultimately this allows a technician or Director of Maintenance (DOM) to manage the paperwork part of their job from anywhere and not be tied to their desk.”
