Indigo Airlines in collaboration with aviation regulator DGCA launched a ‘Digital e-logbook’ for pilots. The e-logbook will provide direct flight data transfer service to pilots from IndiGo systems to eGCA logbooks from Thursday.
Owing to this automated process, the flying hours entered in eGCA e-logbook will have the consistency of data and format for all the stakeholders, which will increase safety and efficiency in operations. This will also offer real-time availability of flying hours data for pilots in compliance with rule 67A of Aircraft rules, and enable data accuracy and timely submission of issuance, renewals, and endorsement of licenses by removal of multilayer data validation. This process will allow pilots to devote more time towards their skill enhancement and improve their quality of life by freeing up time required for work manual log filling.
