This app has been designed by Sparrows Offshore Group Ltd and can be used by all employees to record Observations and Self-Verifications. You will require a Sparrows login to be able to use this app. Observations relate to safe and unsafe behaviours and conditions. The app will allow you to raise a new Observation for onshore and offshore locations globally. Once you have submitted an Observation, it will be assigned to a Sparrows manager for follow up action to be completed. You will not be able to edit an Observation once raised, but you will be able to access the record to review the details. Self-Verifications are used to proactively check that a task or worksite is safe and to encourage staff to take immediate corrective action to address anything found. The app will allow you to raise a new Self-Verification for onshore and offshore locations globally. Once you have submitted a Self-Verification, it will be assigned to a Sparrows manager for follow up action to be completed.

The app will only show the Observations and Self-Verifications raised by the user. Once a record has been closed, it will move to the β€˜Closed’ tab. The app will only store data from the past three months. This app can only be used to raise new Observations or Self-Verifications. To complete a record, or review records older than three months please use the web portal – the link to this is available from SIMS.

The Air Dict. is an interaction aviation dictionary co-developed by Airbus China Translation and Airbus China Innovation Center(ACIC). While English is the common language for the aviation industry, China's aviation industry also develops so fast with its own features. As linguists, Airbus China Translation stands right in the front-line of all kinds of communications between Airbus and China community, including all the seminars, events, and trainings. For knowledge management, we developed our own glossary data over the past decade. Now thanks to the innovative and digital support from ACIC, we could democratize such knowledge management through Air Dict. to draw on the know-hows of everyone who is willing to share. Being an expert in your field, we sincerely invite you to comment, and share your know-how on the words to build a living dictionary for everyone’s benefit.
