Operational information management is at a crossroads as it sheds the remaining vestiges of its paper-based processes and moves through the uncharted domain of electronic data processes. The final outcome is not yet in full focus, but real progress has been made in the transition to electronic documents providing the aviation industry with a clear direction. This book looks at a combination of industry initiatives and airline successes that point to the next steps that operators can take as they transition to fully integrated information management systems. Although the route has not been fully identified, it is evident that a key to successful long-term efficient information management is industry-wide cooperation. The chapters are authored by a range of experts in operational information management, and collectively, they outline ways that operators can improve efficiency across flight, ground and maintenance operations. Considerations and recommendations are identified and presented addressing the following priorities: Safety-critical information and procedures Human factors Information security Operational information standardization. The readership includes: Airline flight operations managers and standards personnel, Airline operating documents and publication specialists, Airline information managers, Commercial pilots, Airline maintenance managers and personnel, Manufacturers and vendors of aviation products, Aviation regulators and policy makers, Aviation researchers and developers of information technologies, and Military technical publications specialists.
’...the information management text book for the 21st century. Aviation Information Management is required reading for all aviation professionals that develop, manage or maintain information systems. For companies that are looking for quality out of the box thinking, this is the publication.’ Capt. Grover Trask, FedEx B-727 Technical Aircraft Advisor, FedEx Headquarters, Memphis, USA ’As the information age has irreversibly taken possession of aircraft cockpits, pilot training and airline operations to the point of presently turning most traditional documentation into paperless deliverables, Aviation Information Management is rapidly becoming a core discipline in Aeronautics. We wish to strongly endorse Tom Seamster and Barbara Kanki’s book as it provides an excellent introduction to be able to effectively cope with this challenge: not that it is solving the task itself but it gives a very good insight into the issues that have to be dealt with when structuring and presenting accurate and useful technical documentation whose end-users need hands-on and ready to use operational material.’ Jean-Jacques Speyer, Senior Manager Operational Evaluation, Human Factors and Communication, Airbus Customer Services ’During the past decade, the Civil Aviation industry has pioneered the creative, practical use of advanced document-management technology. A number of sophisticated applications are described in this excellent volume, edited by two internationally recognized experts in Aviation Human Factors. These chapters provide encouraging examples of what computer power can accomplish, even in an intensely bottom-line oriented industry, if fundamental user-oriented design principles are respected.’ Michael G. Shafto, Ph.D., Computational Sciences Division, NASA-Ames Research Center, USA ’This book looks at a combination of industry initiatives and airline successes that point to the next steps that operators can take as they transition to fully
