Ultramain Systems Announces Integrated Electronic Flight Bag Module
    FARNBOROUGH, England, July 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Farnborough International
Air Show -- Ultramain Systems, Inc. today announced the availability of
Ultramain(R) efbFlightLogs(TM), the powerful new flight-planning module of
the Ultramain aviation maintenance and logistics software solution.
    Ultramain efbFlightLogs is Electronic Flight Bag ("EFB") software that
allows pilots to capture flight log information in real time and alert
ground- based maintenance systems prior to arrival, minimizing the delays
and deferrals that can negatively impact an airline's bottom line.
efbFlightLogs integrates not only with Ultramain software, but also with
many maintenance and engineering software systems available today.
    Developed in cooperation with World Airways and other Ultramain Systems
customers, efbFlightLogs is based on the latest Java development platform
-- Java EE 5 -- and is part of the forthcoming web-based Ultramain V9.0.
efbFlightLogs supports digital signatures, integrates with hosted EFB
systems, supports the latest communications protocols (ACARS, SatComm,
WiFi), and secures transactions with replication/failover capabilities. In
addition, efbFlightLogs integrates with voice and data communications
systems from Wingspeed, ARINC, and others.
    World Airways, a subsidiary of World Air Holdings, Inc., plans to begin
implementation of efbFlightLogs later this year. According to Charlie
Addison, CIO of World Air Holdings, Inc., "NavAero devices are already
installed on World Airways aircraft and we are looking forward to bringing
efbFlightLogs live. The software will help us achieve our goal of having a
paperless flight log on board our aircraft. Also, being able to transmit
logbook information while in flight will allow us to be more efficient in
clearing discrepancies on the ground. Our maintenance personnel will become
more proactive while a flight is en route."
    "That will give us measurable productivity gains while shortening the
amount of time our planes spend on the ground," Addison added.
    efbFlightLogs is designed to run on hardware located centrally in the
cockpit and in the cabin, such as navAero's EFB cockpit display system for
general, corporate, and commercial aviation. Stefan Ridderheim, navAero
founder and CEO, stated that "Ultramain's new EFB capability runs
flawlessly on our t-Bag C2(2) EFB cockpit display system, which is being
deployed by leading aviation organizations worldwide. The combination of
efbFlightLogs with navAero display systems offers a versatile paperless
solution that enables faster, more accurate turnarounds."
    Ultramain efbFlightLogs supports inbound discrepancies, ground
maintenance, and outbound flight reviews. Based on Ultramain V9
architecture, the efbFlightLogs is web-based, with a smart-client front-end
and a Java EE 5 back-end. Data is transmitted via compressed XML over
HTTP/S.
