Waterford Township, MI:
In a significant stride toward modernization and enhanced efficiency, Pentastar Aviation is thrilled to announce its collaboration with Vision Aircraft Records as the official provider for aircraft logbook software solutions. This partnership establishes Pentastar as one of the pioneers in truly paperless aviation and underscores a mutual commitment to advancing technology in aviation operations and maintaining meticulous, secure records in the fast-evolving aviation sector.
Vision Aircraft Records’ revolutionary Secured Managed Aircraft Records Technology (S.M.A.R.T) is the only FAA accepted electronic record keeping system in business aviation. S.M.A.R.T centralizes and digitizes all aspects of recordkeeping, including maintenance entries, inspections, and airworthiness data. The system allows users to search, share, and manage all their aircraft records on a cloud platform.
Benefits of using this digital solution include eliminating the risk of losing critical documents, supports liquidity of the aircraft, and provides a huge reduction in maintenance costs due to the time
spent researching and managing records.
This strategic partnership will integrate Vision Aircraft Records’ cutting-edge digital logbook software into Pentastar’s suite of services, further solidifying their commitment to innovation and service excellence.
“Working with Vision has been great. We had an aircraft in pre-buy, and they traveled on site to onboard the aircraft during the pre-purchase inspection. This allowed us to start the conformity process before the aircraft arrived on site and have it 95% complete when it did arrive,” said Josh Rowe, Managed Fleet
Director of Maintenance.
“We are honored to work with Pentastar Aviation, an esteemed name in business aviation. This collaboration is a testament to our mutual goal of advancing the aviation industry through
technological innovation. We are excited to contribute to Pentastar’s ongoing success and excellence,” stated Mark Leeper, CEO of Vision Aircraft Records.
