Web Manuals Upgrade Increases Provision for Specialist Air Operators

Malmo, Sweden August 3rd, 2016: Web Manuals Sweden AB, developer of digital documentation solutions for the aviation industry, is increasing provision for specialist air operators with its latest platform upgrade, and celebrating new specialist customer Berry Aviation.

The latest version of Web Manuals’ Cloud-based application – version 6.0 ‘Gripen’ – features a redesigned, intuitive user interface through which manuals and other documents can be swiftly navigated and edited, allowing users to easily access key functionalities. Rapid authoring and distribution allow headquarters to communicate urgent operational changes to flight crews, at extremely short notice.

Functionality for specialist air operators has been greatly enhanced through Critical Document designation, which pushes the most important documents and updates to the Web Manuals app on both iPad and Windows tablets, when users have Wi-Fi or cellular data connection. Only changes to documents will be downloaded, so very little data is required – ideal for operators in remote locations with limited internet access.

Texas-based Berry Aviation runs diverse projects and expeditionary airline operations to remote locations across the globe, from North America and the Middle East, to Africa and the Pacific, often at very short notice.

Stanley Finch, VP Technical Operations, Berry Aviation says: “Web Manuals greatly reduces the administrative overheads associated with manual and procedures revisions. Our crews are often based in remote and sometimes austere locations. As soon as they have internet access they can see any changes that have been made to operational manuals or procedures since they last synchronized with the Web Manuals app.”

Alongside Berry Aviation, Web Manuals supports a number of European specialist operators through its digital platforms, including Swiss-based Zimex Aviation, which manages special missions for international humanitarian organizations and major petroleum industry companies.

Daniel Fahrni, Nominated Person Flight Operations, Zimex, says: “Regulatory authorities, clients and we ourselves require that operational manuals are up-to-date, regardless of our geographic spread. In the past we used to physically courier manual updates to our various projects, which are spread across the world in areas as remote as South Sudan and Papua New Guinea. Now, once we click ‘publish’, it is done. All crews have to do is connect their iPads to the internet and download any amendments.”

Martin Lidgard, CEO and founder of Web Manuals, says: “We take great pride in supporting our customers to undertake an immense variety of missions. The beauty of digital documentation is that manuals can be accessed anywhere in the world, at any time of the day or night. Through our Critical Document designation, only changes in manuals will be pushed through to end users, so updates and amendments are made incredibly fast and require very little data to access.”
