Boeing has released a suite of new mobile applications for the iPad to give aircraft maintenance technicians easier access to manuals, part numbers and other critical information required for maintenance checks.
The airframe manufacturer worked with several airlines to develop the new application, which allows technicians to update aircraft reference manuals and share information about maintenance issues with peers in real time.
“Data-driven optimization across flight operations, airspace and maintenance operations is saving aircraft operators millions of dollars in operating costs today. This is an exciting new chapter of that journey,” said John Maggiore, director of fleet and maintenance solutions at Boeing Digital Aviation.
