afirs Up Time

afirs UpTime is a satellite-based Automated Flight Information Reporting System (afirs) that allows aircraft operators to manage and monitor aircraft operations anywhere, anytime, in real-time.

The afirs unit is an avionics component that resides on the aircraft.  The afirs unit monitors the various systems on the aircraft, and when certain events are detected information is transmitted via Iridium satellite. 

The afirs unit also provides satellite phone capabilities and connectivity to a laptop computer in a the cockpit allowing aircrew to make phones calls, request weather reports and send messages to the ground.

UpTime is the ground based database that receives the information, stores it, and creates reports for customers. 

afirs UpTime allows airlines to become significantly more profitable by:
•  Reducing fuel costs through weight savings, as afirs hardware is up to 15 times lighter than the major competing system.
•  Enhancing safety through accurate and timely monitoring of aircraft systems.
•  Decreasing delays as a result of enhanced logistics planning capabilities.
•  Reducing fleet under-utilization and eliminating discrepancies with log books.
