Kathmandu airport implements

new RNP AR procedures designed
by NAVBLUE, for enhanced
The most complete efficiency and reduced risks in a
challenging environment
Dispatch & EFB
At the start of June 2022, the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN)
published an Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) amendment for the
entry into service of new RNP AR approaches and departures developed by
NAVBLUE for Tribhuvan International Airport (IATA: KTM, ICAO: VNKT), the
main airport serving Kathmandu, surrounded by mountains with a very
challenging operating environment.
Required Navigation Performance with Authorization Required (RNP AR), a
Performance Based Navigation (PBN) navigation specification, is the ideal solution
for this type of airport. RNP AR allows navigation accuracy down to 0.3NM and
below, and performing turns after the final approach point: trajectories can fit
better in the obstacle landscape, reducing minimas whilst maintaining safety.
NAVBLUE had already developed RNP AR procedures in 2012 for Runway 02 at
Kathmandu Airport, which includes Radius to Fix (RF) turns in the final segment to

EFB would give any airline/charter company the edge over competitors.
THE CHOICE OF INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT SUPPORT

Having decided that the company would have an EFB and would digitalize the
whole operation as far as possible, Star Air undertook some research into
possible solutions in the market. International Flight Support (IFS) remained our
first option because some local airlines also make use of IFS and have completed
the approval process with our local regulatory authority plus, there was also a
cost factor to be considered.
Given those factors, we felt that IFS would be the best fit for Star Air. It also
made the choice easier as the IFS systems (PFB and EFBOne) both ran smoothly
from the start. The IFS team provides 24/7 support and is always helpful. They
strive to be the best and we can see it in their products. With constant
improvements and bug fixes, they maintain a well-managed system.
The business has grown to a fleet of six Boeing 737 classics, both freight and THE INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT SUPPORT (IFS)

product based on feedback or requests, and continually releases new features and
improvements to all users.
EFBOne is also cross platform, meaning that it is the same code that runs on
both iOS and Windows devices, making it the obvious choice for airlines with mixed
device types while also offering significant efficiency gains for the development
team that maintains just one app instead of separate applications per platform.
Cutting the maintenance workload down to a fraction this way has enabled IFS to
heavily invest in new developments. One example is a new modern REST API that
now powers EFBOne, which allows any third party provider to conveniently
integrate with it, thus offering seamless data transfer from any system. Later this
year IFS will release a new export tool, allowing the EFB admins to set new data
flows fully on their own, thus optimizing the airline digital efficiency to the max,
without any extra development costs. IFS is not resting here, and is set on the
course to become the EFB of choice for any airline that believes in the power of
technology.
Star Air has been running EFBOne, the newest solution from IFS. This was

arranged training into three sessions: first to get used to the iPad; second was with
IFS and all other company systems, using some simulated test flights; and third was

the iPad into the flight deck system and, after lots of trial and error, we felt that we

compared with a paper base system? This adventure and project opened our eyes
to new possibilities. Star Air can now keep up with the market and with demand.
We are happy to be approved and able to use the EFB platform to its full extent.
LESSONS LEARNED AND ADVICE TO OTHERS

If doing this project again, we would do more research on the complete EFB
solution and what to expect for the future. Technology is ever changing and the
challenge to keep up with technology and the market/competition would be the
biggest challenge. We have made a few mistakes but will learn from these, use
that to our advantage and succeed. One big lesson we have learned is to always
document any changes, errors, and solutions. This will help any airline or charter
company from the start. Gather as much information from the start on changes,
errors, and solutions as you will need that information for future planning or
problem solving, and to inform the supplier, in this case IFS, whenever any

HOW TECHNOLOGY WORKS: LOGIPAD FROM DEXTRADATA
Appreciate your time: Logipad

upgrades for an efficient future
Dirk Leese, Manager Process Automation Practice at DextraData shares
how the latest generation of Logipad will take the EFB to a whole new level

L
ogipad’s first EFB project started in 2002 with a German airline and, since
then, there have been many changes and developments Responding to
feedback from users and in a continual process of development and
improvement, the solution has been extended in incremental steps. At
DextraData, we will always strive to ensure that the solution is at the top of its
class and reflects the latest processes and technology. Looking to this latest
technology upgrade, there were several drivers behind the decisions to further
develop Logipad.
The first was in order to incorporate the latest technologies into Logipad because,
as readers will know, technologies change and advance frequently, especially in IT.
For example, one of the latest developments has been two-factor authentication
(2FA), a security process. So, to have the latest security measures available and also
from a development perspective, everything has been put inside ‘containers’ in order
to be able to deploy new developments very easily and very fast.
In addition, our architecture will automatically scale up a user’s cluster as soon
as they need it and scale it back down to save them money when they don’t. In the
upcoming digital era, applications will be the daily business. Speed and innovation
are creating winners and losers especially in the aviation industry. The advantage of
containers, and why we’re moving in this direction, is that they dramatically speed
up development and deployment.
Furthermore, in the latest version of Logipad, we have ensured the ability to
scale the software has been incorporated from the outset. If more resources are Figure 1: Home View with News Ticker

we don’t just sell the solution.
The Logipad name will stay the same but there is a re-branding to accompany
the changes. Logipad has been serving airlines for twenty years and does so many

deployment.” new features to use within the solution. Indeed, we have been able to greatly
expand Logipad.

For example, the eFormGenerator: creating eForms now works via drag and
drop. It also now supports signatures, adding pictures with the camera or saved
graphics. In addition, it is now possible to pre-fill data fields. Forms can be created
without programming knowledge and used immediately in Logipad.

Figure 2: Example eBriefing eOFP (Night Mode)

Another example is the BriefingManager: The BriefingManager allows a manual
assignment of crew members to a specific flight. Additionally, content can be
added to a briefing/EFF package, such as loadsheets, overflight permits etc.
Finalized briefings can be viewed with the BriefingManager. The ‘new’
BriefingManager was developed as a web application and is therefore also
platform-independent.

for Windows and for iOS, and that entails having to maintain two different
platforms. With this latest development, we will be using the latest frameworks
and technologies that enable there to be just one code for Windows application,
for iOS application and for Android application: one code for three different
platforms.
That is the main development because different companies have different
servers and infrastructure environments. So now, on the server side, it doesn’t
matter whether the customer is using Windows, Unix, Linux or whatever, because
Logipad is wholly platform independent. On the DextraData side, this enables
developers and programmers to focus even more on the qualitative and capability
issues that customers appreciate rather than having to spend time thinking about
making any development compatible with different platforms.
THE IMPACTS OF CHANGES

There are a lot of features that will be different as well as that two-factor
authentication security process. On the back-office side, Logipad will offer a lot
of services including using REST (Representational State Transfer) APIs for those
Figure 3: Example Document View (Night Mode) services. Also, a customer’s existing applications will be able to use Logipad
The original version of Logipad supports a Windows client and iOS client, for services plus the steps or processes are getting smaller, which simplifies
example, which means that the solution has to have two code bases; one each processes for administrators to deploy content to the right person.

IMPACT OF COVID ON THE PROJECT

This development was largely managed remotely but, that said, the office didn’t
close during the pandemic. Developers were able to decide whether they were
going to work from the office or from home or a mixture of both. So, the
pandemic really had no impact from a development point of view.
TRAINING
With this development, Logipad has endeavored to stay with the old processes
and user interfaces. There will be an update if customers do a migration but
training specifically for the new application will not be necessary. Equally, there
will be no need for customers using the latest version of Logipad to get any
further clearances from regulators: from an end user point of view, nothing will
change. It will even be possible to use the old interface or the old application
from a user’s side while also using Logipad’s new services. From an end user
point of view, there will be a smooth migration with nothing changing. Then, at a
later point, they can use the latest version of the application in parallel.
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

For the late summer, we plan to significantly expand the most popular feature
‘eForm’.
As has already been mentioned, Logipad will now be able to support different
platforms. Airlines often have to make a decision as to what kind of hardware they
should use, iPad or Android or Surface. In the past, a big consideration has been the
platform used by their solution provider but now they can decide independently of
any need to take that into account. When Logipad, is their chosen solution vendor;
they don’t need to worry about what kind of platform Logipad supports and that
will make a significant difference for customers.
When pilots first open the new version of Logipad, they will notice four things.
First, they will notice that the 2nd generation has a cleaner look and feel and
second, this look and feel continues across all platforms: iOs, Windows and
Android. Thirdly, the Logipad client now supports single sign on and 2FA. The
fourth thing is the Auto Sync functionality. Figure 4: Example eForms FlightLog (Day Mode)

“We would also like to mention the partnership with

Axion Ivy — this will have an even greater impact on
workflow engine integration in the future.”
We are aware that good and meaningful dashboards are becoming increasingly
important. Therefore, we want to expand existing reports and dashboards. In
addition, we want to make an internal chart function available to all users.
DIRK LEESE
Dirk has enjoyed a successful career since starting as a business consultant with
NetManage GmbH in 1997 and then T&A Systeme in 2002, leading to DextraData
from 2017. In 2021, he was appointed Manager Process Automation Practice, in
which capacity he is responsible for the development of Logipad, DextraData’s
EFB solution. As well as projects and process consulting and analysis in the aviation
business since 2002, Dirk has worked on Identity Management, infrastructure and
migration projects in IT project management.

Since 2002, Logipad has been providing airlines with a trusted Electronic
