Helping to kick off the annual Sun ’n Fun Aerospace Expo in Lakeland, Florida, ScaleWings Aircraft, maker of the popular SW-51 kitplane, said it entered a strategic partnership with Crewchief Systems to offer U.S. customers an integrated digital system for managing their aircraft’s maintenance, operations, and other data traditionally found in paper logbooks.

Under the partnership, buyers of new ScaleWings aircraft will receive a Crewchief subscription, allowing them to keep a full digital record of their airplane from the day of purchase. The companies said the Crewchief platform “eliminates reliance on traditional paper logbooks and fragmented documentation, replacing them with real-time, intuitive aircraft intelligence that provides full visibility into maintenance history, operational data, and compliance status throughout the aircraft lifecycle.”
