Web Manuals has launched a search tool using artificial intelligence (AI) for pilots’ flight manuals. According to the Swedish company, flight crewmembers will be able to ask questions via the platform to get descriptive answers from their manuals, helping them to quickly make well-informed operational decisions and potentially avoid flight diversions and delays.

The Amelia AI system integrates natural language processing that can accelerate the process of understanding factors such as aircraft faults to support decisions over airworthiness. Once initial information from the manuals has been shared, pilots can continue to interrogate the platform to find out more details and assess the responses.
