LAS VEGAS—MySky, a spend management platform for business aviation, launched its aircraft scheduling tool for Part 91 operators, following the company’s acquisition of Satcom Direct’s (SD) scheduling platform.
The tool, dubbed MySky Scheduler, utilizes onboard Flight Management System (FMS) post-flight data to eliminate the need for manual post-flight data entry for aircrew, according to MySky. The tool also integrates with MySky’s other financial services to provide a comprehensive workflow.
“It’s all about precision, and it’s always been about reconciling operating data and financial data,” says Jean de Looz, head of Americas for MySky. “Because one of the big problems in the business is that those have been siloed.”
De Looz described MySky Scheduler as an “extruder of sorts,” by way of downloading data directly from the aircraft to avoid human error in paperwork. As an extension of the digital capability, the data is then usable by the platform’s other services that inform predictive maintenance strategies.
According to de Looz, MySky Scheduler can integrate with over 25 platforms, thanks to its open application programming interface (API). However, de Looz says integrating the scheduling tool with MySky’s other products will provide additional advantages.
“Where we’re going to go with the system is definitely develop it to amplify Part 91 operations in the U.S.,” he said. “Most aircraft are operating 91 and we’ll make sure it has a seamless connection to Sky Quotes, which is commercial. It can generate emission costs instantaneously, as well as charter pricing, so it’s feasible that in the future, it may be able to service part of that commercial realm, but it’s not its focal point.”
The tool, like MySky’s other products, is available under a monthly subscription plan.
MySky is currently exhibiting at the National Business Aviation Association’s Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE) here, at Booth #549.
