Business aviation records platform Bluetail is releasing a Mach Conformity Module that allows operators to conform their aircraft to FAA Part 135 requirements in 50 percent less time.
“When we introduced the conformity module at last year’s NBAA-BACE, it was an instant hit among Part 135 charter operators because it allowed them to reduce the often multiple-week process of FAA conformity down to five days or less,” said Roy Gioconda, Bluetail v-p of products and solutions. “Now the process is even more intuitive, faster, and more capable than anything else on the market.”
The module has a range of revenue-recapturing features, including auto-built smart lists that allow operators to search for documents related to airworthiness directives, service bulletins, components, and inspections; creation of smart lists to quickly search all FAA Form 337 data (major changes) such as STCs, ICAs, and flight manual supplements; creation of an FAA compliant conformity binder builder, needed for the applicable FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) and the ability to save and share it for future use and to export documents into a standard format for FSDO review; and the ability to build and track task lists and assign tasks to team members.

News about bills, laws, regulations and other governmental decisions affecting aviation and aerospace. Topics include FAA re-authorizations, taxes on fuel and aviation activities, environmental legislation, ICAO decisions, governmental mediation of labor conflicts and World Trade Organization disputes and decisions.
