Germanwings chooses Lufthansa Systems IT solutions EFOM and DocSurf

Germanwings Profile

La compañía de bajo coste, Germanwings ha elegido Lufthansa Systems IT solutions EFOM (Electronic Flight Operations Manuals) y DocSurf. Estas soluciones permiten a Germanwings tener acceso a la documentación electrónica actual de las operaciones en cualquier momento. También mejoran la calidad de esta documentación y le ahorran a las aerolíneas tiempo y dinero.

EFOM is the optimal solution for creating, managing and publishing operations manuals. In the medium term, Airbus will apply the XML concepts used on the A380 to the user manuals (OM-B) of its A320 fleet. The involved change from paper documents to electronic ones will enable extensive process optimization. For example, EFOM automatically imports Airbus FCOMs (Flight Crew Operations Manuals) and detects changes to the documents. The software then supports and monitors the subsequent revision process and ensures the manuals are released according to specifications.

Germanwings will use the DocSurf solution from Lufthansa Systems on all of its pilot laptops to display the operations manuals. EFOM also stores metadata which makes it possible to set aircraft- or fleet-specific filters, navigate between documents for additional information, or view revisions to previous versions, so pilots can focus on the information relevant to their aircraft.
