Electronic Flight Bag – Document Management System “Spice AirDocs” is the new standard in airline document management, a technology shift in safety and compliance, collaboration, and usability, from SpiceJet Ltd. Spice AirDocs, is a document management system designed to create, distribute and view aircraft manuals, plus internal manuals produced by the airline. Safety and regulatory compliance are made easy with Spice AirDocs workflows, tracking and content linking. Manuals can be updated in PDF. Our app enables pilots to find the information they require fast - crucial when quick decisions need to be made on the flight deck. The Spice AirDocs iPad app is an EFB Viewer for displaying EFB documents. The app is used in conjunction with Spice AirDocs Distributor, which enables airline staff to upload documents such as manuals in Pdf format. This airline-generated content is then distributed to user’s iPad devices. Spice AirDocs provides secure, controlled, and audited distribution and synchronization of operational documents through to iPad devices. Pilot user experience comes first in the Spice AirDocs App, with scope search, preservation of annotations and highlights, and effectivity. The Spice AirDocs iPad app can display PDF manuals from aircraft manufacturers including FCOM, MELs, and QRHs, as well as ground ops and airline operating manuals. Spice AirDocs consists of two integrated modules: Spice AirDocs Viewer and Spice AirDocs Distributor. The system delivers measurable benefits across all modules: Spice AirDocs Viewer is a mobile app used by pilots to access critical flight manual content during all phases of flight. This app is specifically designed for viewing Aircraft manufacturer manuals, plus company generated manuals. Built with pilot needs to the fore, our Viewer brings pilot-centric functionality into the flight deck, with genuine innovations, including: Annotations and Bookmarks - Pilot bookmarks are stored on our cloud server so that when manuals are updated, the bookmarks are never lost. New device? No problem. When the pilot downloads our app and signs in, all previous bookmarks are instantly delivered. Search - Vital in the cockpit when the flight crew demands immediate answers. Our dynamic search capability returns the correct results at lightning speed. Effectivity - Our Viewer displays only the documents that are specific to the plane's tail number reducing the potential for confusion when demanding situations arise. Spice AirDocs Distributor controls document distribution and tracking to mobile devices. Documents can be automatically targeted by the crew, flight, or aircraft. The system tracks each device to ensure the latest version of each document is up to date. The distributor can alert supervisors about a crew device that is out of date where the crew member is scheduled to fly. This advanced compliance monitoring gives airline managers that peace of mind that all relevant information is available to the crew at all times and that all safety and compliance requirements are met. The Spice AirDocs platform delivers real benefits across the airline.
