Manual development services and SMS software provider AviationManuals has launched a new membership experience. The new offering pairs AviationManuals' operations manual development and update services with an online tool that includes document hosting, verification, distribution, industry news and ready access to safety metrics data.

The combination of ARC, AviationManuals' SMS software, with its coveted manuals provides a more holistic approach to managing operational improvement and safety.

Moving forward, all manuals and LOA services will be paired with software, enabling the company to provide regular content updates as well as valuable industry and regulatory information, helping its 4,000-strong and growing customer base continually become better and safer. The goal is to create a central platform for business aviation operators and FBOs to manage the resources they need to operate safely.

The new package includes: a single online location to manage all manuals, updates and distribution; unlimited storage and file formats; read and initial tracking; news, resources, updates and member only content and expert topics; and real time safety metrics.

Operators can save time and money by replacing paid document hosting and management tools with this all-in-one content and software solution. Operators can read and initial documents, automate notifications, develop customised file structures, get news and updates, and easily see the latest global safety metrics.

The company believes this improved approach helps bring together all the tools and information that aircraft operators and FBOs need to operate better and safer. “This isn't just a tweak but a fundamental change in how we will be delivering our content, our expertise and software access to our customers moving forward,” says CEO Mark Baier. “We now offer the most holistic continual improvement and safety system available anywhere on the market. I'm truly excited about this, because SMS combined with continual operational improvement is the future of our industry, so the more we can help to get users to participate the better. As a company, we care about making it easy for every aviation operator to be better and safer. This really is a one-of-a-kind offering.”
