The low-cost airline Wizz Air is the first customer of the Technical Logbook solution from Lufthansa subsidiary Aviatar. With the newly developed application, Wizz Air will replace the manual and paper-based process of recording technical problems during the flight / on the ground and implement the digital solution for cooperation between the cockpit crew and maintenance personnel.

The Technical Logbook offers pre-filled text blocks and automated input masks that can be used to record technical problems of the aircraft during the flight and on the ground. It replaces time-consuming manual entries in paper books and improves data quality and transparency.

The new application works with any hardware device (e.g. tablet, smartphone or desktop computer) and offers pilots access to the aircraft status anytime and anywhere. It also offers back-up processes in the event of connectivity problems. The availability of data in real time, which is directly connected to the M&E system (Maintenance and Engineering System), ensures maintenance on arrival and enables seamless cooperation between pilot and maintenance - which leads to lower lead times and costs. In addition, the standardized data structure helps the airlines to gain insights into trend analyzes.

“We are pursuing the goal of becoming a paper-free airline and further significantly reducing our ecological footprint. We are therefore delighted to be introducing the Aviatar Technical Logbook solution in partnership with Lufthansa Technik as the first customer. Aviatars Technical Logbook will help Wizz Air achieve these goals by providing a completely paperless cockpit for our crews and also for maintenance. Due to the complete integration with AMOS, ie also a live feed into the MOC (Maintenance Operations Center) and OCC (Operations Control Center), the solution will further improve the technical and operational performance of Wizz Air, ”says Julia Brix, Head of Technical Services at Wizz Air.
