A searchable, categorised document library for all reference material that sits alongside your operational manuals — forms, regulations, guidance material, and more. QR codes bridge the gap between printed books and the live platform.
Beyond your formal operational manuals, every organisation accumulates a significant library of supporting documents — regulatory texts, guidance material, forms, templates, reference charts, and more. Without a system, these documents end up scattered across shared drives, email attachments, and desktop folders.
AvioData's Library module provides a structured, searchable home for all of this material. Documents are categorised and tagged for easy retrieval, with version control to ensure that outdated versions are automatically superseded by their replacements.
Documents in the Library can be linked directly from other modules — a Method of Compliance record can reference the relevant regulation, an audit checklist item can link to the applicable procedure, and an event report can attach supporting reference material. This cross-module linking makes the Library the connective tissue of your entire SMS documentation set.
Not everything can be digital at the point of use. For documents that exist as printed books — checklists, quick-reference cards, operations manuals — the Library generates a unique QR code for each document. Insert the QR code into the printed copy and anyone scanning it with their regular camera app is taken directly to a URL showing whether the document is current and up to date, or whether a newer version has been published. No special app required — any smartphone or tablet camera works. This closes the loop between the physical world and the live platform, eliminating the risk of crew or staff relying on an outdated printed copy without knowing it.
The full Library is accessible from the AvioData EFB app on iPad and iPhone. Crew and staff can browse categories and run full-text searches directly from their device — keeping the right reference material at hand wherever they are operating.
