Business aviation safety and data specialist Argus International (Booth 2674) is expanding its portfolio of services to provide new documentation and flight-planning offerings. These come in addition to enhancements to its professional development programs with the second-in-command gateway program.
On the documentation front, Argus has teamed with Web Manuals to launch its PRISM Document Management System (PDMS) for developing new manual content and revisions.
PRISM is Argus’s provider of a range of safety management system, certification, and IS-BAO support services. Web Manuals, meanwhile, provides cloud-based aviation maintenance and manuals tracking.
The new product will link manual content to a range of safety information such as Part 135, IS-BAO, Argus Platinum, IS-BAH, and the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA). In addition, information surrounding specific FARs will be included.
PDMS will be offered for both Part 91 and 135 operators. “Operators will benefit from the expert support of the PRISM professionals in the preparation of their company manuals while making it simple and cost-effective to share operational knowledge across their organizations and onto iPad-enabled flight decks,” said Martin Lidgard, founder and CEO of Web Manuals.
Avmosys, v2.0
Separately, Argus is rolling out the next version of Avmosys, v2.0, providing a fully mobile flight-scheduling app. “With mobile devices projected to drive nearly 80 percent of the world’s total Internet usage in 2018, creating a fully mobile application was an easy decision when it came to the next step in Avmosys’s evolution as a software application,” said Scott Liston, executive v-p of Argus.
Regardless of how used—desktop, tablet or smartphone—Liston added, the app offers a “familiar and fast experience” that will make operators more efficient. The app provides a range of functions, such as trip building and quoting, schedule modification, data management, and on-road flight crew functionality.
Features include a customized user interface, automated management of policies and procedures, customizable flight schedule views, QuikTrip technology to build multi-leg quotes or trips, a report module with a library option, flight crew offline capability, and integration with commonly requested third-party software programs. Avmosys subscribers will have 24/7 support.
