Feeders just need to plug-in their AK-RX device, which is the size of a smaller router, and connect it to their Wi-Fi network. Positioning of the device and the antenna is of the utmost importance both for our system and for feeder’s future benefits. So if you’re considering becoming a feeder, the more the data, the better chances for minting a coin. Therefore, feeders should consider antenna positioning in the vicinity of the runway, along the runway direction – aligning with the actual A/C Flight Path during Approach / Take-Off.

Accelerating to the flight

The market at this time is stabilizing in many parts of the world. Consequently, first interests in products that come off our platform started from several airlines. Nearing the first hardware production, we are also close to finalizing the platform, and being market ready.

The near term will see our team going out to customers with initial interest in order to present the platform. The interest needs to be taken now to the next level whereby some services which are already available should be monetized, be that direct use of platform components or an API for legacy systems.

Acceleration continues with different industry venues, and the platform needs to be presented to the public, and non direct contacts in order to mass the awareness and tune the offering.

On another front, the internet will be used to get more traction from interested feeder communities, such as plane spotters, radio amateurs, people wanting to know what is going on in the skies. Part of the revenue will be coming from website ads that basic users get, but also subscription plans that people want to get more information, and no ads will pay for.

Phone apps are also considered in the next 9 months to be ready for iOS and Android.

We invite all interested parties, especially the ones close to or on the airport and willing to position the antenna to an unobstructed view towards runways, to reach out to us.

Aviolog as the solution

Through a crowdsourced system covering ACARS and ADS-B messages, as an owner of a certain asset, a leasing company can get data and health of their aircraft. A system capturing technical and operations data and organizing the analytics in a sensible way. It is there to assist in making good decisions and build knowledge on how an asset is used, giving straightforward option to:

• Check actual accrual of flown aircraft hours and cycles
• Confirm life limited parts life straight from the actual flown cycles
• Control your engine, APU performances on weekly, monthly basis
• Monitor engine derates straight from the aircraft
• Confirm route paterns for each MSN coincide with the ones defined in the contract (harsh environment, India, China, CIS routes…)
• Know which major components are built on the aircraft within certain timeframe directly from the aircraft (engine serial number, APU serial number)
• Easy and precise calculation of Time Between Overhaul / restoration / major inspection / scheduled MTX event
• Consensus agreement confirmed and blockchain hashed data for nearly eternal record keeping

Aviolog can assist the decision-making process with Ground Handlers by dissemination of real-time messages, i.e. Variable Taxi time Calculations which aim to improve adherence to scheduling with the introduction of realistic taxi times.

• Our platform allows not only significantly more data downstream, but also all health monitoring, operational reporting, weather info – and more!
• Data transformed to knowledge in industry standard technical, operational and other reports an airline needs

What would be the ideal airline downstream system?

An easy answer would be a single system that articulates all functions of an airline. And a very wrong answer. Current fragmentation of different platforms is required due to:

• Requirements of actual job functions,
• Different civil aviation legislative demands,
• Different company business models,
• Legal and accounting requirements
• Trainings etc.

Answering that there is one ideal system which fits all is not possible. Not a single system can match technical requirements and accounting, for example, when we add different legal systems of each country to the equation. With that in mind, Aviolog’s flexibility to provide parts of the needed information through APIs giving live info where it needs to be (within certain other legacy systems) and making our platform extremely versatile. It also is far more reliable, as the data we gather goes through consensus agreements, whereby each message is confirmed, stored and its hash is saved in a blockchain, making it a thrustless, untamperable system.

What do we offer?

• Post flight reports (PFR)– have MCC react immediately based on real information from the aircraft
• Current flight report (CFRs)
• Engine, APU, load reports – be aware when to remove engines, prior to failure
• Real time faults (subject to the route coverage) – prepare the maintenance
• Real time warnings (subject to the route coverage)
• Aircraft tracking – mandated by ICAO on each 10mins
• Delays monitoring
• OOOI messages – manage crew duty times
• METAR data – prepare flights according to real current information
• GRF Global Condition Reporting Data on Runway conditions / Actual Operational data (RWY in use, restrictions,etc.) thru ATIS
• Airport data
• Weather PIREPs (subject to the route coverage) – passenger comfort and flight levels/airpaths avoidance based on available weather PIREPs enroute
• MRO Maintenance organization can use above listed parameters to assess the A/C condition

Application Programming Interface – APIs for different direct data input into current systems (AMOS, RAL, CESAR,  etc). With this option, each company can choose which data they want on which platform. It is certainly not an easy task to switch from one platform to another, and sometimes there is no need due to the depth of existing systems. Our system allows APIs for adding the missing puzzle to your existing platforms, as long as your current system providers allow APIs to their platforms.

Soon to come benefits
