The FAA has approved Vision Aircraft Records’ electronic recordkeeping system, the Nevada-based company announced. Its digital logbook centralizes and digitizes all aspects of recordkeeping, including maintenance entries, inspections, and airworthiness data.
To enhance data security, <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2023-02-03/vision-aircraft-records-launches-mx-hub-software">Vision Aircraft Records</a>&nbsp;said blockchain technology is integrated into its system, which ensures that data records are cryptographically linked, timestamped, and immutable. Equipped with the company’s secure managed aircraft records technology, the system allows users to search, share, and manage all of their aircraft records in one place.
Vision Aircraft Records claims its system is the only FAA-approved electronic recordkeeping system available on the market. The FAA Advisory Circular <a href="https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC_120-78A.pdf">AC 120-78A</a>-compliant system was designed to be scalable and to adapt to future regulatory changes and new technologies. According to the company, adoption of its electronic recordkeeping system is growing rapidly among business aircraft maintenance organizations and operators.
