Aviation software update implemented remotely
After recently completing its WinAir Version 7 implementation, the premier MRO for S-61 helicopter maintenance is now live with the software and realizing operational gains
After concluding a seamless product implementation this past January using entirely remote processes and procedures, including completing a data migration, inventory import, and user training, Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul (MRO) is now using the software daily to track and manage maintenance and maintain inventory control.
Established in 2013, Advance Aerospace operates out of Boundary Bay Airport (CZBB) in Delta, British Columbia. The company works with military and civilian operations and is a Transport Canada and EASA Approved Maintenance Organization.
WinAir was able to implement software remotely
Advanced Aerospace and WinAir began their business relationship in 2020 at the Helicopter Association International's (HAI) Heli-Expo. At the time, the company was handling its maintenance activities using a combination of Excel spreadsheets and Word documents, methods that were not meeting its needs.
In late August, Advanced Aerospace commenced its WinAir Version 7 software implementation. Since WinAir had already established a company-wide remote work policy in response to the Covid-19 pandemic back in March, it had all the necessary tools and infrastructures in place to seamlessly facilitate this software implementation for the MRO. Now that Advance Aerospace is live with WinAir Version 7, its team is enthusiastic about improving business efficiencies.
An easy transition to WinAir Version 7
"We reviewed multiple products on the market, but WinAir's browser-based software stood out as the ideal solution for our MRO," says Darryl Nicolas, Advance Aerospace General Manager. "With WinAir Version 7, we can manage engine maintenance using a template approach, which accelerates processes and saves us valuable time while simultaneously ensuring data authenticity and assisting with maintaining compliance. We are pleased with the results of our remote software implementation and are excited to grow our business with WinAir."
WinAir Business Development Representative Jason Street echoed this sentiment: “We are happy that Advance Aerospace is benefitting from an easy transition to WinAir Version 7. We look forward to assisting this MRO in reaching its operational goals and building a strong business relationship for years to come.”
In 2019, WinAir launched its range of maintenance schedule templates, which allow the user to monitor fleet maintenance and upgrades while adhering to industry standards and regulations of operational compliance.
