Widerøe Airlines, the largest regional Scandinavian airline, has selected Universal Avionics to provide a fleet upgrade of the aircraft Dash 8-400’s connectivity with Flight Management System (FMS) increasing the efficiency and safety of the newly developed supplementary iPad applications.
Ole Støre, Chief Pilot Dash 8 fleet said, “The solution from Universal will help us streamline pilot workflows from briefing to reporting post flight across our diverse flight and maintenance ops, enabling seamless information exchange between our back-office operations and the flight management system on the aircraft. This will alleviate pilot workload by reducing data entry requirements such as flight plans and aircraft performance. In addition to benefits derived from flight data reporting, it will increase safety by allowing them to focus on departure and arrival tasks.”
