AvFileAvionco has developed an industry specific software application designed for reliable document retrieval. The safekeeping of aircraft maintenance records documentation and the ability to produce documents on demand is critical to the continuing airworthiness of the aircraft and its components.
Companies around the world, but specifically in AvFile is an easy to use, affordable method of electronically storing and retrieving valuable aircraft documents and records critical to maintaining aircraft continuing airworthiness and supporting lease remarketing efforts. AvFile is a web based product, however, Avionco licences the product for use on a company intranet (LAN) environment.
The product is tailored to several segments of the aviation industry including all airlines, lease companies, asset managers, corporate aviation managers and owners. Sales and remarketing efforts for used aircraft can be enhanced by allowing potential clients access to the aircraft documents prior to expensive travel to view the aircraft and records. AvFile supports the following industry business sectors;
Airlines- will use AvFile to supplement their current computerized maintenance tracking programs. Features like the Component History Card (CHC or sometimes known as Installation, Removal History; I.R.H) and the Airworthiness Directive Compliance module are designed to address specific record-keeping deficiencies in some airlines. The basic product addresses a new approach to aircraft records storage.
MRO's- will use AvFile to maintain repaired component history for products serviced. AvFile is ideal for use to maintain purchased parts certifications related to parts required for the repair of components. There is an opportunity to use AvFile for cost recovery where requests for aircraft information or document copies are received by the O.E.M.. The delivery of this service by the O.E.M. will be low cost in that administrative costs for the OEM will be reduced to potentially a fraction of current costs.
Lessors and Asset Managers- will use AvFile for remarketing and risk management. A complementary product currently in development will address another dimension covering MRB and regulatory requirements and the linking of documents to required inspection tasks.
O.E.M.'s- will use AvFile for the purpose of storing records related to the certification and release of each new aircraft, engine, prop or other component (as required by regulatory authorities). There is an opportunity to use AvFile for cost recovery where requests for aircraft information or document copies are received by the O.E.M.. The delivery of this service by the O.E.M. will be low cost in that administrative costs for the OEM will be reduced to potentially a fraction of current costs.
