Nimbl Adds Emergency Response Platform to Its App for Planning, Practice and Response
Why It MattersEmergency planning for flight departments is moving from standalone manuals into the same software used for safety management and compliance, tying drills and live response to one system.
Nimbl has introduced an Emergency Response Platform built directly into the Nimbl app, giving operators a central hub to plan for, practise and respond to emergencies. Teams can run simulations, identify potential gaps and become familiar with their roles, then use the same module to call up critical information and coordinate their response when a real emergency occurs.
The dashboard brings together the company's ERP manual, emergency checklists, key contacts, emergency response team members, status updates and forms. When an emergency is activated through the platform, users are prompted to record key details that can be updated as the event develops. The type of emergency, elapsed time and affected aircraft stay visible at the top of the screen.
Nimbl CEO Mark Baier said it is a feature the company hopes nobody has to use in a real emergency, but that having an Emergency Response Platform in place is crucial to ensure flight departments are prepared if something goes wrong. He added that easy access to critical information, combined with familiarity with the procedures, can save valuable time.
Nimbl showed the platform at NBAA-BACE in Las Vegas from 20 to 22 October, on booth #3135. Formerly known as AviationManuals, the company began in 1996 with International Operations Procedures Manuals and supports more than 4,700 operators worldwide. It is headquartered in the Washington DC metro area and combines SMS, procedures manuals and compliance support.
