The completely paperless system makes it possible to improve security, promote the sector's development and ensure agility and reliability in data entry. eDB was regulated by the Resolution No. 457 and Ordinance 3220/SPO/SAR), which updates the procedures for recording information in the Logbook of Brazilian civil aircraft.

Offshore market offers great challenges

“The offshore market offers great challenges. That is why it is so fundamental to have an increasingly efficient, technological and integrated management and operation with the specific demands of each customer”, explains Junia Hermont, superintendent of Líder Aviação.

The endorsement granted by ANAC was recorded in the company's Operating Specifications (EO) – the operator's document that specifies what authorizations it has – and allows the operator to no longer be obliged to carry the printed document "Logbook", but the device electronic database that hosts your eDB system. The process for granting authorization to use 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, Líder involved its IT team to modernize the entire process. “The application and use of our company's information systems have always been a differential and we are continually improving our digital process. Automating the Logbook brings a series of gains for companies in the segment, such as organization, speed and data reliability; record automation; elimination of papers; reduction of crew workload; in addition to 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, transforming it into a strong ally in continuous improvement and our operational excellence”, adds Jonathan Kaneko, director of operations and maintenance of Helicopters at Lider.
