Helicopter air medical transport and completions company Metro Aviation has selected Bluetail’s maintenance recordkeeping service for its more than 170 helicopters and airplanes. The Bluetail system provides cloud-based access to maintenance records, which are stored digitally, eliminating the need to keep track of paper-based documents.

Bluetail has added capabilities for helicopter operators with tailored features and artificial intelligence-powered search capabilities. Metro Aviation’s historical records will be digitized and indexed as part of the Bluetail service, which provides a centralized hub for maintenance team members to access and share information quickly across the company’s 40 programs in 25 states.

Scanning of paper records can be done at the customer location to avoid having to ship records to a scanning location. Alternatively, Bluetail offers a scanning network with more than 120 locations in the U.S. that meet FAA AC120-78A recommendations and FAR 43.12 regulations and are SOC 2- and HIPAA-compliant.

“Metro Aviation has always been committed to using the best tools available to support our operations, and Bluetail’s solution is a perfect fit for our needs,” said COO Kenny Morrow. “The ability to quickly search and access records instead of sifting through boxes will save us countless hours while ensuring our documents remain secure and always accessible.”
