Fleet Keeper, which has recently been validated by the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC), enables pilots, airworthiness managers and mechanic teams to record flight reports.

The tool also keeps track of technical events and transfers data to others in real-time.

Airbus Helicopters customer support and services executive vice-president Matthieu Louvot said: “Fleet Keeper is the latest of many improvements we are rolling out to enhance customer experience through the use of innovative, digital solutions dedicated to the support of flight operations.”

"The implementation of reliable air / ground data communication services is a vital enabler for the SESAR Operational Concept."

The company also said that the data recorded by Fleet Keeper can be stored in a secured cloud-based database, which can be accessed by tablets or personal computers (PC).
