An operator of aircraft in 12 countries overseen by eight airworthiness regulators, Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) has signed up for the ELMS Staff Competence Management software to ensure compliance with the various regulatory frameworks within which it operates.
ELMS specializes in helping aircraft operators manage compliance in complex regulatory environments, including making sure maintenance staff meet all training requirements. The ELMS solution enables MAF to focus on its mission to deliver aid, medical assistance, and development solutions to people living in vulnerable communities.
“Being spread across 12 countries under eight different airworthiness regulators, it has been challenging to coordinate the license and authorization compliance of our engineering [maintenance] staff across the world,” said Peter Fryatt, MAF manager of technical training. “ELMS now enables MAF to digitally store complex data in one place and gives us clear visibility of our engineers’ compliance, experience, and competence. Even with our complexities, the team at ELMS has added significant value, offering decades of experience in aviation to help MAF structure our data in a way that realizes benefits from the very beginning of the onboarding. Ultimately, this partnership will help MAF use our resources even more strategically so we can transform more lives in isolated locations.”
