Electronic Document Management System Now Available In App
Store
Gulfstream recently introduced its PlaneBook app, an electronic
document management system for iPad, available now in the Apple App
Store. The software provides pilots easy and immediate access to
critical flight information and aircraft-specific documents, such
as the Airplane Flight Manual, Operating Manual, pilot checklist
and the Quick Reference Handbook (QRH). The electronic version of
the QRH, which includes emergency flight procedures, serves as the
master document that links to all other documents for easy
cross-referencing.
“Gulfstream embraced electronic document management and
the concept of a paperless cockpit with the introduction of
PlaneBook in 2007,” said Randy Gaston, vice president, Flight
Operations, Gulfstream. “With the PlaneBook App for iPad,
pilots will have all the information they need right at their
fingertips. Most importantly, as aircraft documents and procedures
are updated, users will receive automatic updates within the app
that will keep them up to speed on the latest.”
The app allows pilots to create and add their own content,
including checklists, standard operating procedures and other
reference materials. This lets them tailor the app to their
particular flying habits or preferences. In addition, since
documents and manuals are downloaded straight to iPad, users will
have offline access to all of their important information. In
addition, a ‘History’ feature gives pilots even quicker
access to the documents they frequently use.
Instructional videos for each of Gulfstream’s aircraft, as
well as the latest news from the company, are available through the
app.
