Web Manuals is making staying current with the latest aviation regulations easier by way of digitizing it.
“Web Manuals’ software makes the authoring, reviewing, publishing, distribution and control of an entire manuals library a seamless operation, meaning users are instantly updated to any regulatory changes and so can remain compliant at all times,” says Krister Genmark, Web Manuals’ director of operations, Americas.
Genmark says that on average, users save more than 2,400 hours per year once trained as a registered Web Manuals’ user – with dedicated staff members updating documents digitally and sharing them with every other staff member instantly – as opposed to editing a Microsoft Word file or Google Doc and re-printing huge paper manuals.
“The Edit and Author function allows for the writing and editing of controlled flight documents in an online, cloud-based platform. Users can write, revise, publish, distribute and control their entire suite of documents through Web Manuals, minimizing the number of personnel working on separate manuals and the amount of back and forth – saving time while improving quality. Web Manuals has several automated modules which further saves time and energy. Other features include a full audit trail, customized workflows and automated email notifications when anything is changed in a manual,” says Genmark.
The Web Manuals software caters for ground handlers, as well as other members of an aircraft operations team, with all regulation and compliance-related information relevant to ground handlers available digitally and in one place, Genmark adds. Regulations are updated in line with regulatory updates, which will promptly notify the manual owners of the relevant changes that apply to their manuals.
Web Manuals can be accessed via a web browser and across a wide range of devices. The company’s most recent software update, Web Manuals 8, introduces smartphone capabilities that are accessed via an Android and iOS app.
Web Manuals is currently being used by charter and wet-lease operators, business jet operators, several global and regional airlines, maintenance and repair organizations, training schools, cargo and helicopter operators. The software is scalable and can be adapted to suit any company, regardless of size.
“Customers can aid ground handler training by making their training documentation available digitally, meaning they can be accessed at any time, from anywhere, rather than requiring in-person training for small updates to training modules,” says Genmark.
