MyTravel takes next step toward paperless cockpit

British charter airline MyTravel is using an electronic technical log (ETL) to manage its aircraft fleet data, including maintenance requirements and trip reports. This is another step in the goal to achieving a truly paperless cockpit, according to Data Systems & Solutions (DS&S), UK-based developer of the CoreWing ETL. The firm also offers a product called CoreAlert, which monitors engine health, and CoreFleet monitoring aircraft reliability and maintenance data management. Real-time analysis of on-board information allows these systems to predict the need for short-, medium-, or long-term action and advise customers accordingly. The analysis generated by the CoreWing ELT can stimulate alert messages as well as optimize maintenance activity, helping to lower downtime, operational costs and inventory levels, said DS&S civil aviation marketing director Nick Godwin.
