The Training Manuals App is an information and training solution for the provision of training manuals, aircraft maintenance manuals, master service manuals, wiring diagram manuals, flight manuals, illustrated spare parts lists and other documents. Authorized Airbus Helicopters Group employees and their customers have access to all the specific manuals they need. In addition, WebBasedTrainings (WBTs) in SCORM Standard 1.2 and 2004 can be carried out and learning progress evaluated. With the digital examination workflow, examinations can be written and evaluated automatically. Launch HTML5 publications as webPackage without a network connection. Each user can enter individual notes and annotations, highlight pages and navigate through the manuals using either a page preview or a bookmark list. The individual notes and annotations are saved locally on each user's iPad and automatically backed up in the document library when connected to the server. Documents are managed and distributed via group memberships in DocLib. All data is encrypted both on the server and on the iPad. If a user's iPad is lost, the data is retained. As part of a user account transfer, all data can be transferred from one device to another. The data can be restored at any time. Recommended: Use a stylus or the Apple Pencil (iPad Pro)
