For modern airlines, true efficiency starts with data traceability.

Airlines depend on accurate, connected information from dispatch to post-flight reporting; to stay compliant, efficient and audit-ready.

That’s why skybook is designed to make every stage of the flight process traceable and reliable, all in one platform…

Real-time status in dispatch

Within skybook Dispatch, operators can instantly see what’s happening across every flight sector thanks to the ‘status’ section.

This feature automatically updates whenever a pilot takes a key action on the electronic flight bag (EFB) application. Providing a live view of each flight’s progress.

The status timeline moves through clear stages:

• When the OFP is uploaded
• When the voyage is first downloaded to the EFB
• When the sector briefing is viewed and accepted
• When the pre-flight sign-off is completed
• And finally, when the flight is signed off

Each update happens automatically, giving operations teams instant visibility of where every flight stands; without relying on phone calls, messages, or paper updates!

Flight data audit trail 

The real strength of skybook lies in its comprehensive audit trail.

Every important status action is captured with a timestamp, username and associated event. If a fuel order has been placed, it’s automatically logged and time stamped.

No missing data or guesswork, just complete transparency. 

If a correction is required, such as a small time or fuel adjustment; admin users can make the informed decision to update the post-flight records while maintaining full audit traceability.

This balance between flexibility and compliance gives operators confidence that their flight data remains both accurate and accountable.

And in the event of an incident, admins can lock sector data, ensuring information is protected and unaltered until investigations are complete.

A level of control that paper-based processes simply can’t match!
 

Connected dispatch for complete flight data

The status section is just one part of the bigger picture.

Dispatch brings multiple tools together to form a complete operational overview, including:

• Record Vault – a central archive of flight data stored for up to five years, far exceeding the industry’s 90-day standard.
• Ops Board – live flight monitoring with colour-coded status indicators and key operational metrics at a glance.
• Reporting & Analytics – automated insights on on-time performance, fuel trends and sector data accuracy.

Together, these tools give operators everything they need to track, manage and analyse each flight from pre-departure to post-flight.

Why traceability matters...

When every piece of flight data can be traced back to a specific action, the benefits go far beyond compliance:

Audit readiness: A complete digital trail simplifies audits and reduces manual checks.

Operational visibility: Dispatch and ground teams always know the exact status of each flight.

Fuel and performance insight: Accurate data supports better fuel planning and post-flight analysis.

Reduced risk: Errors can be identified and corrected quickly, without compromising records.

Confidence in compliance: Every update, edit and sign-off is securely logged for accountability.

In short, skybook gives airlines the tools to manage their operations with precision, transparency and trust.
