Aviation software and information services provider ATP has partnered with records management firm Bluetail to streamline document access for aircraft owners and operators. Under the collaboration, ATP’s customers will now have direct access—through its Flightdocs platform—to records digitized by Bluetail.

Whether for a prebuy report, major inspection, or an audit, Flightdocs users will be able to search and open historical electronic records over the life of the aircraft, bringing value to the operator.

“While Flightdocs has focused on ensuring aircraft compliance and current records, this partnership and integration with Bluetail allows our operators to have complete access and control of all historical documents and data from a single platform,” explained Kent Pickard, ATP’s v-p for product management, business aviation solutions. “The opportunity to [provide] this benefit to our customers brings an aircraft’s history under one umbrella.”

“When we originally founded Bluetail, we always envisioned that our platform could become the de facto aircraft records stack for business aviation, the document 'foundation' if you will,” added company COO and co-founder Stuart Illian. “With our deep integration with ATP Flightdocs—and thus their full suite of rich and integrated maintenance software—we believe that we can now offer our mutual customers the perfect structure built upon that foundation.”
