How G3CARS Works

The G3CARS platform can be installed on Tablet PC’s or aircraft EFB and is configured to operate with the airlines form design and documentation methodologies, such as that used for the aircraft’s Logbook. The Electronic forms provided by the G3CARS platform are completed by pilots utilizing the G3CARS unique data entry technologies that simplify the input process and improve the accuracy of data. These technologies include handwriting recognition, airline specific data entry methods and validation rules, quantity calculations, “Point and Shoot” drop down menus, and digital signatures.

Once completed, the pilot transmits the forms directly into the airline's database.  Upon receipt, the database verifies the data and sends a receipt back to the G3CARS terminal guaranteeing the integrity of data flow.

The G3CARS Terminal also accommodates operational and maintenance documentation for cockpit, cabin and ground crew use.

By incorporating a Technical Library within the G3CARS platform, the airline can upload and maintain reference documentation that the crew can quickly access..

Finally, the system incorporates Crew Email to keep the crew and airline in touch during aircraft turnaround.

Features
