General rules
eTL, principle: the eTL is a remote terminal platform, Wifi or 3G connected, which gives to the Pilot and Airworthiness Organisation a two way exchange of information when is permanently up to date:
a) Reception of information about the remaining aircraft availability before the request of maintenance task, in order to plan or anticipate the maintenance action according to the operation forecast.
b) Reception of information from the Airworthiness Organisation with instruction of maintenance tasks or check to be performed by crew or maintenance support
c) Transmission of flight data (cycle, landing and flight time) and servicing data (quantity of refueling, oil
up-lift or de-icing action)
d) Transmission by the pilot of defect, failure or malfunction to the maintenance management.
e) Transmission of maintenance action report (CRS, or check performance) to the Airworthiness Organisation.
The eTL is a simple and intuitive program that does not require an in-depth knowledge of computers. The
only requirement is to complete the eTL in a chronological order; this is self-explanatory by completing each
field in the order they appear. Some easy rules make its use very friendly:
1 Start first page with “aircraft list”, and synchronize, with upper RH icon, if “Offline Sync” is orange
2 Second step is to go on the second page “due list”, to see availability and discrepancy reported, if any.
3 Third step is to go to third page “Tech-‐Log” and open a new tech-log, press the cross on the upper right
corner of the screen.
4 Fourth step is to do the Daily inspection, bottom field “Inspection / Add new inspection”
5 Fifth step is to create the flight with the second field “Flight / Add new flight” and, very important, to
switch ON the field “All discrepancies declared” to validate the creation of a new flight. Then proceed as
instructed in this document.
Support -‐‐ Ipad: eTL is display on Ipad. The Blue Eye App can be load on the both unit available on each aircraft
of the fleet. However, to avoid mistake of data recording (i.e.: to open two eTL in same time) it is mandatory to
have only one designated Ipad to perform the recording. The second one will be used as spare if the first one
becomes unserviceable.
Network: Ipad is Wifi connected but the subscription to a national 3G-provider service is mandatory to benefit from use away from base.
Cancelation of e-Techlog: To cancel an e-Tech-log, open the concerned tech-log on the list “Retrieved from
server” first page of Tech-log section. On tech-log open press on the button on the top right of the screen called
“Cancel TL”. A window will open “Cancel Tech-‐Log”; enter a reason of the cancellation in the appropriate field.
Then press Yes to validate or no to cancel the cancelation action. This tech-log will disappear and the screen will
re-open at the first page “Retrieved from server”. The canceled tech-log can be revalidate by re-opening the
cancelled tech-log and using the button at the Top right of the screen and called “Uncancel TL”
Correction of input in e-Techlog: To make modification on a tech-log after an error of input, first make a
cancellation as describe above. Then re-open the cancelled tech-log. On the top left of the screen press the
button “x2”, the cancelled tech-log will re-open as a new tech-log ready for modification of the data. The all
information will remain on the tech-log, excepted signature bear by technician on the CRS section; this CRS
signature will be lost (*). After modification the tech-log is validated as usual with “Done” button.
Page 4 of 17
(*) For this reason, it is recommended to create a Tech-log for each maintenance action performed and to
send a final version immediately after the signature delivered, excepted when a flight is requested to
validate the maintenance action. But after this flight done, the techlog will be closed and send in final
version to CAMO.
Problem of opening: It may happen that Blue Eye App have difficulties to open after a period of standby.
Procedure to be use: - Close the App and re-open (Note: it is recommended to close the App after use, using double click on HOME button) - Or on Ipad settings select option “flight mode”
