Aviation Checklists

How SafetyCulture (formerly iAuditor) can Help Improve Aircraft Safety

Aircraft or aviation maintenance is one of the most crucial activities that airline owners should regularly perform and regulate. Maintenance checks are done mainly for 4 reasons:

1. To minimize aircraft downtime;
2. To extend the life of aircraft;
3. To ensure passenger safety; and
4. To maintain high operational performance.

Aviation checklists are traditionally printed on paper-based cardboard or laminated card which are inconvenient when an interruption comes in. Keeping a finger on a particular item on the list is burdensome for aircraft crews that may lead to repetitive checks. Avoid this hassle with SafetyCulture, a digital inspection app that has helped aviation and transportation companies efficiently perform aircraft inspections. An aviation maintenance software is a tool that allows you to conduct smart and efficient maintenance checks for better aircraft performance. Prevent mechanical failures by tracking and conducting regular aircraft inspections. Below are SafetyCulture features that can help improve aircraft safety:

• Create smart checklists
  Pilots, cabin crew, and airports use multiple daily checklists. Ensure you are operating as efficiently as you can by eliminating the paper you use. SafetyCulture allows users to build intelligent checklists that collect data faster and easier. It works in remote locations, even 30,000 ft in the air. Perform safety checks while you are offline and simply sync your audit back to your cloud-based account when you come back online.
• Use your ‘team intelligence’
  Instead of focusing on hierarchy, the aviation industry put an emphasis on individual intelligence to foster team intelligence. Through the use of digital checklists, you can dramatically raise effectiveness and reduce errors. SafetyCulture allows your team to log critical errors that you can analyze later to make improvements to your processes.
• Images provide clarity
  Use SafetyCulture’s image capture and annotation tool to display best practices by embedding annotated images and diagrams within checklists. Flight crews are more often than not virtual strangers before they hop into the cockpit. Use images to convey safety messages clearly.
• Report on critical errors
  SafetyCulture allows you to instantly create reports as soon as your inspection is complete. Review and take corrective action on issues before they become critical.
• Centralize your safety compliance
  Ensure your crew is all working from tested and high-quality checklist templates by creating standard company templates and sharing them with your team. Make changes on the fly and push out the new template so flight crew are always using the latest advancements and have access to the most up-to-date information.
• Insight and visibility
  Using the analytics platform, you have access to real-time data as the flight crew is capturing it. Instantly see once an audit is completed in an aircraft and has passed its pre-flight inspection or if the flight craft engineers have authorized the aircraft to be safe to operate.
