Among Mission+ DOC Manager’s main functionalities:

Authoring, customisation and reconciliation management of manuals: create content from scratch; adapt Airbus manuals to own customer requirements and regulations; keep customer’s customization from one revision to another; allow Word® like edition without any XML knowledge.

Fleet update and sub-fleet management: designed to manage documentation of any fleet size and complexity (different aircraft configuration) by facilitating aircraft addition or removal from fleet; manage your manuals fleet by fleet or even tail by tail.

Non-English languages: allows publication of manuals in languages other than English if required, and even recovering previous translations and identifying the new sections of manuals requiring translation.

Publication: allows time savings thanks to scalability of the software transforming XML data into PDF/HTML; outputs being fully compatible with NAVBLUE EFB software.

Using the latest available technologies to ensure the best user experience, Mission+ DOC Manager is the Document Management System enabling the end-to-end process from editing on ground to consultation on board in the NAVBLUE Electronic Flight Assistant.
