Technology Comparison
I was just wondering if some similar capability exists at CAL on these items.
UAL ACARS.
Other then the typical stuff that everyone has these are some of the items that the UAL boxes can do.
-Request and print entire release (Works great for reviewing your next flights paperwork on current leg.)
-Request and print graphical depiction of an airports radar. More of a gee zee thing than a practical application.
UAL Electronic Maintenance Records
-No paper write ups
-Write ups done by entering up to a 8 digit code via acars. (This triggers the notification to MX, voids current MX release, and sets up auto notifications to next flight that an open log book item exists.)
-MX release (aka airworthiness sign off) can be reprinted at any time.
Even though its an electronic system the last 20 items or 14 days worth of write ups are included in the release document.
