Subject: New e-Logbook Project Team

To: ATA e-Business Community

The ATA e-Business Steering Group (ESG) recently approved the creation
of the e-Logbook Project Team (ELPT) to develop an exchange standard for
electronic logbook information. The team will be co-chaired by Steve
Yukawa from Boeing and Christian Callay from Airbus and will host its
first meeting on April 3-5, 2006 in Washington, D.C. If you are
interested in joining the team, please go to the e-Logbook Project Team
landing area at http://www.ataebiz.org/apps/org/workgroup/elpt/ and
click "Join Group."

The e-Logbook Project Team (ELPT) will be dedicated to the creation and
maintenance of an industry standard defining Electronic Logbook data
exchange. This specification will include flight log (journey log) and
maintenance log (airplane faults, maintenance actions, maintenance
release, servicing) information. In general, the standard will cover
line maintenance activities and exclude heavy maintenance activities.

Use of this specification is envisioned by electronic logbook
application providers (OEM airframers and third party software
companies), airline operators and aviation maintenance information
system providers. This specification will also allow interoperability
between multiple provider's software and reduce the task of creating
data adapters between systems. The following are items the project team
proposes to address:
 
- analyze commercial aircraft logbook processes
- develop a data model defining data exchange between e-Logbook
applications and related ground based systems
- discuss implementation issues and best practices
- define security requirements
- develop a specification for approval 

If a colleague is interested in joining the effort and is not a member
of the ATA e-Business Program, please have them register at
http://www.ataebiz.org or contact Ken Jones at kjones@airlines.org.

Brad Ballance
