Safran Helicopter Engines has launched a new digital service called the Logbook Connect to reduce the administrative burden for customers when they receive a replacement engine, module, or accessory. The service was in collaborated with Lundin Software and allows customers to directly import airworthiness data into their maintenance management software, eliminating the need for manual data entry.
Previously, maintenance and airworthiness data were returned with the engine or module in the form of a paper logbook. For customers who sign up for Logbook Connect, that information will now be transmitted instantly to their maintenance software system.
The program has been in development for the last two years, in close collaboration with customers and maintenance management software provider Lundin Software, through its Gannet system.
“We’re delighted to have been able to work closely with Safran Helicopter Engines to develop Logbook Connect, which is already proving a real game-changer in the field,” said Jørleif Bech, Founder, Lundin Software.
The program has been launched with Airlift, Avincis Sweden and Norsk Luftambulanse spanning about 80 engines.
Amanda Martin, VP of marketing at Safran Helicopter Engines, said: “Another 10 customers would soon be added to the program, with further customers to be added in batches. More maintenance information systems will also be added.”
