Prince George, BC – Yellowhead Helicopters has recently added AirSuite’s Cirro cloud-based software to it’s arsenal of real-time tools to support the processes of flight managing, planning and tracking.
Among Cirro’s many features is a scheduler that allows managers to plan and coordinate aircraft by gathering aircraft IDs, base, timeframes, customer info, flight notes and personnel assignments. This calendar of flights can be filtered to show one base, or the entire database.
The flight following module collects critical data through the flight process. It gathers dangerous goods documentation, weight & balance calculations, fuel planning, itinerary and passenger manifest. The automated flight following will alert the OSC to any overdue itinerary incorporating email, SMS and automated telephone calls. The module can also be linked to satellite flight data monitoring & aircraft tracking software.

Pilot flight duty time tracking and management tools allow easy updating of duty times both online and offline. It’s adaptable to duty time restrictions including client custom rules. The tracking allows linking of duty time to specific aircraft to provide detailed experience tracking by aircraft type.
The new document library allows admin users to easily toggle options to adjust whether certain users, or all personnel, require to acknowledge a file has been read, and if it requires to be downloaded. The tag set feature allows for assigning certain documents, certificates and memos to custom groups of users. Admin users can quickly review who hasn’t completed training or acknowledged/reviewed a document. The library includes a search bar for quickly locating documents by keyword.
