Kestrel aviation is located about 100km north of Melbourne, Australia in Mangaloor.  They will be using GenAv for their rotary wing and fixed wing aircraft.

Kestrel's mission is to provide trainee pilots with the best possible foundation on which to build their aviation career. To this end our training program is consistent with the high level of skills demanded both in the airline industry and in the GA (General Aviation) industries around the world. Our training program is complemented by our fleet of aircraft, our dedicated instructors and the excellence of our facilities at Mangalore Airport.

Located in the scenic countryside of the Goulburn Valley region, Mangalore is strategically based just north of the Great Dividing Range, which separates Mangalore from Melbourne. While this is significant for the type of weather conditions encountered, it is still only a 100km drive to the city centre of Melbourne.

Mangalore was originally used as an alternate to Melbourne International Airport because of its recorded stable weather conditions. Students at the airport have come to appreciate the efficiencies that come as a result of the ideal weather, which means that there are rarely delays due to poor weather.

GenĀv  Systems is pleased to announce WestJet is the first airline to take advantage of GenAv's scheduling technology.

WestJet currently has over 580 pilots and 53 aircraft. The GenAv Flight Office TRiM software will provide  the scheduling department with an automatic scheduling tool that features a convenient easy-to-use graphical interface.

WestJet was founded in 1996 by four Calgary entrepreneurs led by Clive Beddoe, who saw an opportunity to provide low-fare air travel across western Canada. Through researching other successful airlines in North America - and in particular low-cost carriers from throughout the continent - the team followed the primary examples of Southwest Airlines and Morris Air and determined that a similar concept could be successful in western Canada.

The airline operates a growing fleet of 53 aircraft featuring 35 new Next-Generation Boeing 737-700 aircraft with leather seats and more legroom. Transborder service commenced in the fall of 2004 to the cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa Bay, Orlando, and New York. Service to Palm Springs is scheduled to begin in January 2005.

Our user-defined syllabus (syllabi) add-on module offers competency based training system integrated with scheduling. We feel Competency Based Training is the future of aviation education.

The Flight Office Syllabus will accommodate all syllabi. You can define or use any syllabus you choose. We will provide a generic private syllabus with the product. There is no limit to the number of syllabi you can define. For example you can have private license, multi-engine endorsement, instrument ratings etc. Any syllabus can be modified to your needs at any time with the proper security access.

The syllabus is integrated to scheduling so that you may automatically schedule a student for the entire course. The automatic scheduling will take into account student availability, instructor availability, instructor preferences and aircraft preferences. Since weather or other factors will interrupt the schedule, the system will automatically roll forward any cancelled events. The system will also roll forward any incomplete or failed procedures or maneuvers to the current session.

A complete record keeping system has been incorporated to the student profile. All flight lessons and sessions are tracked with user defined codes. Ground school course are also tracked with the facility to track grades. All of the assessment criteria for flight session procedures and maneuvers are recorded by the instructor and updated in the student records. The assessment criterion is user-defined. Between 3 and 10 points of assessment criteria can be assigned by syllabus and is weighted for automatic calculation of performance standards.

The reporting system features an instructor briefing which includes the previous session and performance as well as the current session items. A session report and a pilot training record summary are also available.
The second quarter of 2005 we will offer Flight Office TRiM ASTAR, a hand-held (or knee-board) syllabus scoring solution that will put data capture for flight sessions on the flight deck with the instructor. This will enable the instructors to rate the procedures and maneuvers during the flight session. ASTAR will automatically update the student records from the hand-held thus eliminating most of the paperwork for your instructors as well as ensuring greater data integrity.
 

PROFESSIONAL HELICOPTER SERVICES was established in 1981 by Ron Newman as a part time training school with a Hughes 300 helicopter, in order to keep his instructing skills current. At this time Ron was the Chief Helicopter Pilot and Chief Engineer for the Victoria Police Air Wing after setting them up with a twin engine "Dauphin" helicopter. The training school grew quickly, mainly due to Ron's background in the helicopter industry and his excellent reputation.

Ron's background in Aviation began in 1955 when, at the age of 14, he became an apprentice Aircraft Engineer with Trans Australia Airlines (now QANTAS). He moved to Ansett Airlines "Helicopter Division" in 1960 and has been involved with helicopters ever since. He became a Licensed Helicopter Engineer and in 1966, took charge of their Sikorsky S61 (28 seat helicopter) operation in Queensland.

Ron learnt to fly helicopters in 1968 and since that time he has flown extensively throughout Australia, New Guinea, the Pacific Islands and the Antarctic with Helicopter Utilities and Jayrow helicopters before joining the Victoria Police in 1976 in order to set them up in a helicopter operation. In 1983 he left the Police Air Wing to concentrate on his growing company and now has over 15,000 helicopter flying hours, with over 7,000 hours of instructional experience in both single and twin engine helicopters.
