Our competitors will tell you that the 'e' in eAIP is for 'electronic'... We'll tell you it stands for 'easy'
Ubitech SkySource is one of the only eAIP production platforms that actually makes producing an AIP easier than the alternative of doing it manually . We streamline the production process while empowering the user with total control over both the textual and graphical components.
- Workflow Management according to ICAO Standards
- Revision & Version Control
- Document & Template editing
- Integration with COTS charting applications
- Automation using Static AIS Data
- Publication in many electronic formats for web access or high-quality print products
'e' also stands for 'efficiency'...
A surprising number of countries are unable to issue AIP amendments according to the AIRAC cycle due to a lack of resources and expertise. Ubitech SkySource makes it possible for these countries to acheive compliance to ICAO's standards. Through systematically managing the AIP workflow, Ubitech SkySource reduces the required workload and produces a higher quality AIP.
- Collaborative work environment
- Resource (Users) management
- Designation of working sets of documents
- Workflow status
- Content ownership & authorization
- Assignment & scheduling of tasks
- Automated review & approval process
- User notifications through integrated email
...and 'effective'...
Ubitech SkySource makes use of industrial COTS software to provide the user with effective tools for making modifications to textual portions of the AIP. We've combined Adobe FrameMaker with the Miramo database publishing engine as our solution for working with data-centric documents.
- Robust document templates
- ICAO compliant structure and format
- Separation of fixed textual elements from dynamic data elements
- Integration with static AIS databases
- Simplified management of data-centric sections like the Enroute Tables
- Automatic insertion of change bars
'Flexibility' doesn't start with 'e' but it is the best way to describe our approach to generating the graphical components of the AIP. Ubitech SkySource is compatible with any of the popular COTS charting applications and allows them to be directly imported into the SkySource AIP. This allows our customers to continue using the charting application that they are familiar with and have been using for years.
