Romanian charter group Toyo Aviation has become the first aircraft operator in the country to be approved to use paperless electronic technical logbooks. TrustFlight today announced that Romania’s civil aviation authority had granted permission for Toyo to deploy its Tech Log system.
Bucharest-based Toyo operates a fleet of six aircraft, including Cessna Citation M2s and CJ4s; Bombardier Challenger 300s; and Embraer Legacy 600s and 650s. Since its launch in 2007, the company has operated flights across Europe, as well as in Africa, Asia, and the U.S., and also offers aircraft management and CAMO services.
Toyo now uses both the TrustFlight Tech Log and Centrik 5 safety and quality management systems. According to UK-based TrustFlight, the platforms help operators to harmonize processes between flight operations and aircraft maintenance teams.
Tech Log, which is now in service with 44 business aircraft operators, has been developed to streamline maintenance workflows by automatically validating any errors and reducing the time taken to manually input and process data. According to TrustFlight, the system supports real-time communication between flight crews and technicians, giving ground personnel immediate knowledge of any problems to boost safety and reduce aircraft downtimes.
“The successful implementation of TrustFlight’s electronic Tech Log represents a significant step forward in our digital transformation journey,” said Gheorghe Oprea, Toyo Aviation’s compliance monitoring and safety manager.
