Leader Celebrates for Being the First Brazilian Public Air Transport Company to Receive ANAC Authorization to Use Digital Platform for Flight Data Registration

Leader Aviação has just implemented the use of the Digital Flight Log (eDB) across its fleet of helicopters dedicated to offshore operations. The company is the first in the Brazilian public transport market to receive authorization from the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) to use the eDB, which allows data to be recorded on a digital platform. The new system aligns with modernization and transforming digital culture.

The completely paperless system enhances safety, promotes sector development, and ensures agility and reliability in data entry. The eDB was regulated by Resolution No. 457 and by Ordinance 3220/SPO/SAR), which updates the procedures for recording information from the Flight Log of Brazilian civil aircraft.

Offshore Market Offers Great Challenges

“The offshore market presents great challenges. Therefore, it is fundamental to have increasingly efficient, technological management and operation that integrates with the specific demands of each client,” explains Junia Hermont, Superintendent of Leader Aviação.

The authorization granted by ANAC was recorded in the Operational Specifications (EO) of the company – an operator document that specifies which authorizations it possesses – and allows the operator to no longer be required to carry the printed document “Flight Log,” but rather the electronic device hosting its eDB system. The process for granting the authorization for the use of the eDB included, in addition to analyzing the operational and functional requirements of the system, verifying compliance with information security requirements.

For the implementation of the eDB, Leader involved its IT team to modernize the entire process. “The application and use of our company’s information systems have always been a differentiator, and we are continuously improving our digital process. Automating the Flight Log brings a series of benefits for companies in the sector, such as organization, speed, and data reliability; automation of records; elimination of paper; reduction of crew workload; and ensuring more safety at all stages of a flight,” explains the company’s IT Director, Celina Marinho.

“The ANAC certification is recognition of our expertise and adherence to reference safety standards. We know how to translate operational knowledge into technology, turning it into a strong ally in continuous improvement and our operational excellence,” adds Jonathan Kaneko, Director of Operations and Helicopter Maintenance at Leader.

Leader Aviação is a Pioneer in the Offshore Helicopter Operations Market in Brazil

Leader Aviação is a pioneer in the offshore helicopter operations market in Brazil and has been operating in this segment for almost 50 years. This year, Leader reached the milestone of over one million flight hours on missions geared towards the oil and gas and energy industries. This type of operation is part of the mix of services offered by the executive aviation company.

It is important to highlight that Leader was also the first company to implement a system that monitors maintenance events and operations to ensure greater flight safety (Flight Data Monitoring – FDM); to conduct satellite tracking of aircraft positions (Flight Following); to utilize the Aircraft Usage and Health Monitoring System (HUMS); and to implement the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), eliminating physical documents and transforming them into digital files, thus reducing the aircraft’s load.

About Leader Aviação – It is the largest executive aviation company in Latin America. Founded 63 years ago, it has over 1,100 employees and a fleet of more than 55 aircraft. With a presence in 19 operational bases at the main Brazilian airports, the company operates in five business units: aircraft chartering and management; aircraft sales; maintenance; airport services; and helicopter operations. Leader also offers aircraft insurance brokerage services, flight simulator training, and repairs on helicopter blades.
