Bombardier has announced a swathe of regulatory approvals for its Challenger and Global Smart Link Plus system installations.
Transport Canada (TC), the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have given Bombardier the go-ahead to take bookings from Challenger and global aircraft operators for Smart Link Plus system installations.
The system "enables operators to make data-driven decisions in real time, maximising operational efficiency," according to Bombardier, as it
is "an advanced health monitoring system that collects crucial aircraft data, enabling flight and maintenance crews to quickly prioritise and proactively troubleshoot essential in-flight alerts, increasing an aircraft’s operational efficiency".
"Aircraft operators can effectively track, troubleshoot and dispatch a technician based on information received from the system, enabling them to make detailed maintenance decisions quickly and efficiently," the company said.
“The Smart Link Plus system is fundamentally changing the way Bombardier supports its customers,” said Paul Sislian, executive vice president, aftermarket services & strategy.
