Overview:

This release focuses on significant API enhancements, user experience improvements, and system stability. Key highlights include comprehensive TripUpdate API endpoints for aircraft totals management, enhanced defect resolution workflows, and navigation improvements for both web dashboard and iPad users. The release also includes important bug fixes for performance, display issues, and data consistency.

What's New

1. iPad User Experience Enhancements

Major interface improvements for the iPad application aligned with Apple's recommended best practices:

• Navigation bar repositioning - Moved navigation bar from bottom to top of screen to maximize content area for defect lists, trip logs, and forms while following Apple design guidelines

• Optimized screen space utilization - Redesigned interface prioritizes data display over static toolbars, providing more room for critical operational information

• Enhanced user identification - Added user initials/profile picture to navigation bar for clear login visibility

• Improved sync indicators - Optimized sync status display and positioning for better visibility on all iPad screen sizes

• Updated onboarding guidance - Refreshed coach marks and tutorials to reflect new navigation layout and improved user flow

These changes align the iPad application with Apple's Human Interface Guidelines while significantly improving the user experience through better space utilization and more intuitive navigation patterns.

Before:

The navigation bar stuck to the bottom of the screen

The navigation bar limits the available screen space

After:

The navigation bar embedded in the top toolbar

Viewing lists now allows additional screen space to show useful data

2. TripUpdate API Endpoints (Complete CRUD Operations)

Comprehensive API support for managing aircraft totals and utilization data through dedicated TripUpdate endpoints:

• Create TripUpdate - New endpoint for setting aircraft totals (APU hours, engine hours, cycles, etc.)

• Update TripUpdate - Modify existing utilization values with full field support

• Get TripUpdate by ID - Retrieve specific TripUpdate data for verification and auditing

• Delete TripUpdate - Remove incorrect entries when needed

These endpoints support all utilization fields including airframe seconds/cycles, engine hours/cycles, APU data, and custom offsets. This enables automated workflows for aircraft onboarding and totals management via API integration.
 

3. Airport Database Expansion

Extended airport coverage to support expanded flight operations:

• New international airports added - Enhanced global coverage with key airport additions:

  • OERS - Red Sea International Airport, Saudi Arabia

  • MMTL - Tulum International Airport, Mexico (Felipe Carrillo Puerto International Airport)

  • LTDB - Çukurova International Airport, Turkey

  • VDSA - Siem Reap–Angkor International Airport, Cambodia (replacing closed VDSR)

  • LSZM - Updated airport code for Mollis Airport, Switzerland (changed from LSMF)

Bug Fixes & Improvements

• TL-6469: Fixed aircraft status display - Resolved issue where serviceable aircraft showed grey "ok" status instead of green "serviceable" status in aircraft dropdown

• TL-6470: Corrected aircraft switching - Fixed blank screen issue when switching between aircraft pages using aircraft dropdown navigation

• TL-6478: Improved performance - Addressed slow loading times when switching aircraft pages, especially for operators with large fleets

• TL-6487: Enhanced fault synchronization - Fixed issue where intermittent faults weren't properly updating when associated with defects

• TL-6428: Resolved trip ordering - Fixed incorrect trip sequence display on iPad that differed from web dashboard

• TL-6425: Improved MEL reference display - Fixed overlapping text and search issues for MEL references with sub-subsections in dashboard

• TL-6424: Corrected maintenance warning colours - Fixed inconsistent widget colours between iPad and dashboard for custom maintenance thresholds

• TL-6421: Removed confusing work pack options - Eliminated option to add extra tasks during work order creation that couldn't be added to CRS pages

• TL-6406: Enhanced defect resolution - Improved resolution pending workflows and system reliability

• TL-6384: Fixed CRS field population on SRP - Resolved missing approval fields in SRP PDF generation following CRS completion

• TL-6429: Improved deferral document access - Enhanced loading performance for the deferral reference document details

• TL-6467: Database performance optimizations - Added indexes to improve query performance for defect-related maintenance items

• TL-6347: Fixed aircraft dashboard loading - Resolved infinite render loop that caused intermittent blank screens when loading aircraft dashboard pages

End-User Impacts

• TripUpdate API users can now fully manage aircraft totals programmatically, supporting automated onboarding and integration workflows

• Web dashboard users will see faster aircraft switching and resolved display issues for MEL references

• Maintenance personnel will benefit from improved defect resolution workflows and consistent status displays across platforms

Support Impacts

• Implementation teams can now leverage bulk user creation capabilities for streamlined customer onboarding

Notes

• TripUpdate API endpoints require proper authentication and authorization - refer to API documentation for implementation details

• Several performance optimizations may improve response times for operators with large aircraft fleets
