Airbus Helicopters introduces Fleetkeeper logbook, flight folio

Airbus Helicopters Southern Africa (AHZA) has launched its Fleetkeeper electronic technical logbook and electronic flight folio which enables helicopter owners, pilots, maintenance, and airworthiness managers to track flight hours, flight cycles and any other information regarding maintenance.

Fleetkeeper provides a helicopter’s airworthiness status to the pilots and records technical events during aircraft operation and any additional maintenance or repairs performed in-between scheduled base maintenance visits.

“We’re delighted to make this efficient application available to our South African customers and operators and intend to offer it in other parts of Southern and East Africa soon. We are currently in the process of securing similar authorisations from civil aviation authorities in other African countries, including Namibia and Kenya,” explained AHZA Managing Director, Arnaud Montalvo.

Fleetkeeper aims to help operators anticipate their maintenance activities and efficiently plan their helicopter operations. Moreover, pilots, airworthiness managers and mechanics can easily share data among themselves, in real time, while being online.

The product has already been approved by the civil aviation authorities of France, Singapore, and Philippines, with more approvals processes underway around the world.
