Simulator Manufacturer, MPS, Offers New Simulator Branding Options

Netherlands headquartered flight simulator manufacturer MPS is offering new and existing customers client-specific color branding options, something which has never been seen in the training industry before. Effective immediately, MPS customers will be offered the option to design a cabin which fits their marketing goals if purchasing a new simulator, or alternatively, other options to upgrade existing devices.

The cost for this branding opportunity is minimal and depends upon the order. Designs will add little to no downtime on existing devices and no additional time to deliver for new orders.

“At MPS, we are always innovating to move the needle in our industry. From technology updates, cabin redesigns and of course, always keeping you up to date on regulatory information, we take pride in delivering the ultimate training solution to your organization,” said MPS Chief Executive Officer Philip Adrian, “This new branding option will provide our customers with the chance to showcase their unique colors, logo and more.”

Frontier Airlines will be the first customer to see branding incorporated into their simulator devices with other orders already in place.

Flight School Management Solution Provider Flightlogger Launches Customizable Flight Logs

One of the world’s leading flight school management software solution providers Flightlogger has shared that it has updated its SaaS solution with the introduction of Customizable Flight Logs!

“Our development team has been working diligently to provide a more flexible and efficient way for flight training organisations to log their flight data while maintaining compliance with regional regulations. With this update FlightLogger will be the only flight training management system to give complete freedom in how to log school flights, rentals, simulator sessions, etc.

Why customizable flight logs?
Every flight school operates differently, and the importance of specific logging parameters can vary greatly depending on regional regulations and individual training programs. With Customizable Flight Logs, FlightLogger gives you the control to tailor your logging parameters to fit your school’s unique needs. Whether you’re tracking block time, airborne time, tach, or hobbs, our system is now equipped to accommodate your specific requirements.

Adapt to regional regulations with ease
Understanding the diversity in logging requirements across regions, we’ve made our logs adaptable. For flight schools regulated by EASA, we know that block time is a primary logging parameter. Meanwhile, in the United States, Tach and Hobbs are often more emphasized. Our Customizable Flight Logs allow you to align with these regional preferences and ensure compliance with local aviation authorities, all while maintaining the ease and efficiency of use you expect from FlightLogger.

Example of customization:
Imagine your flight school is based in Europe, adhering to EASA regulations. You prioritize block time logging for its accuracy in recording the period from when the aircraft first moves for the purpose of taking off until it finally comes to rest at the end of the flight. With our customizable logs, you can set block time as a default parameter, ensuring that all logs are consistent and regulatory-compliant.

Conversely, if your operation is in the United States, you might prefer focusing on Tach and Hobbs. Tach time, which records engine operation times, and Hobbs time, measuring the total time from engine start to stop, are crucial for maintenance and billing purposes. Our system allows you to prioritize these parameters, streamlining your logging process and making your operations as efficient as possible.

Benefits for your flight school:

  • Flexibility: Adapt the system to your specific logging needs and regional requirements.
  • Compliance: Ensure that your logs meet the regulatory standards of your region.
  • Efficiency: Spend less time on paperwork and more time in the air, thanks to a streamlined logging process.
  • Accuracy: Maintain precise and reliable records for training, maintenance, and billing.

We are committed to continuous improvement and are excited to see how our customizable flight logs will enhance the flight training operations among our more than 180 clients around the wold. This update is a testament to our dedication to providing a comprehensive, adaptable, and user-friendly flight training management system.” shared Flightlogger.

Chairman of Avia Solutions Group Shares Thoughts on Key 2024 Trends in ACMI Leasing

Avia Solutions Group, the aviation conglomerate which owns global pilot training group BAA Training and which has seen impressive growth as shared by its CEO Jonas Janukenas, has shared through its Chairman Gediminas Ziemelis three trends in ACMI leasing for 2024:

  • “Wet Leasing for Financial Agility: With interest rates on the rise, airlines face financing challenges. ACMI leasing provides a flexible, financially viable solution for meeting growing demand without incurring high debt risks.
  • ACMI Solving Labor Shortages: High attrition rates and pilot shortages have plagued the industry. ACMI leasing enables access to a wider talent pool, addressing the rising costs and staffing challenges.
  • ACMI to Fight Seasonality: ACMI excels in managing seasonal demand and supply-side shocks. Governments and regions are turning to ACMI providers to capitalize on “revenge tourism,” ensuring immediate access to new routes.

Key Takeaway: ACMI can enable airlines to seize the opportunity

The key message of all the things I have mentioned is that ACMI is ready, in both the short-term and long-term, to enable airlines not only to survive but also to thrive in complicated circumstances. The industry is ready to provide the crew and aircraft that are in short supply at present, and to provide airlines with a financially sustainable way to make the most of the upsurge in demand.

My opinion has always been that a balanced mix where 6-15% of a fleet’s aircraft is leased from an ACMI provider is optimal. This provides the flexibility airlines need without tying them down to unmanageable long-term financial commitments, which, as I mentioned above, are especially problematic at present.

Our fleet of 197 planes available for ACMI operations is set up so that 60% are available for long-term leasing, with 40% set aside for short term use. In other words, we are set up and ready to play our part in enabling airlines to survive the current challenges, seize the opportunities that higher demand offers, and be ideally positioned to thrive in the long-term.”
