3. The Challenge Regulatory Compliance Who we build avionics for Value
Enhanced Situational Awareness / Data Fidelity
Augmenting Operations with Connectivity
Reduce Workload
Aircraft Integration
Cyber Security Compliance
Cyber Security Maintenance
Flight Operations
Maintenance
Engineering IT
Finance
The Challenge is How to deliver VALUE in a world of regulation and cyber security?
Where VALUE is hard-won by positive change to airline business.
Such as simplification of maintenance task,
enablement of data flow between flight crew and the aircraft,
Providing turn-key solutions for installation and regulatory approval.
Security itself does not provide Value; Value cannot be delivered without Security

12. $ Health Management System Take off Current Flight operation Landing
Maintenance
Flight operation may be delayed routing in disruption, unhappy customer, and costly.
When failure occurs, the data remains on the plane.
Maintenance waits for data download to diagnose.
Unplanned maintenance is costly, disrupts the operations, and increases turnaround time.
With Health Management $
Real-time data sensing allows failures to be detected earlier in order to maximize window of opportunity to manage disruptions.
Real-time data provides health alerts and notifies ground staff. Ground crew reviews data and starts diagnosis.
If repair is necessary, it can be planned ahead of time to minimize the impact of disruption.
Reduced troubleshoot time, costs, and operational disruptions.
