For several years, general aviation has been transitioning to better, faster, and more accurate technology. This is particularly true in the aerial application and aerial firefighting industries. The increased efficiency, safety, and productivity easily justify the expenses and learning curves associated with the advances in technology. This is truly the case for a Georgia based company that is currently offering a new service to aviation, and has taken a special interest in aerial applicators and Firefighters.

ARMOR Data Services, LLC is a data analytics and consulting firm that takes the millions of data points stored in the memory of your MVP or JPI systems and sorts, monitors and reports on incidents, pilot habits, as well as offering trend monitoring. This firm does this while maintaining focus on safety, productivity and cost efficiency. ARMOR is well named as they protect the pilots and aircraft that they service. Companies worldwide, including ag and firebombing operations in Canada, US, Africa, South America and Europe have their fleets protected by this new service and have already experienced the benefits. Randy Sandstrom, the owner and chief pilot of Prairie Dusters, an aerial spraying company, has described some of the benefits of using ARMOR as “lower maintenance costs, better insurance rates, improved efficiency, but more importantly increasing the safety of pilots and our company.” Randy, who flies the first H80- Switchback in Canada’s SEAT program, knows this firsthand because he has his agriculture and firebombing aircraft protected by ARMOR.

ARMOR’s trend monitoring and incident reporting provides their clients with an extremely helpful alert for things like hard landings, over temps, over torques, engine and prop over-speeds, and much more. ARMOR’s OEM trained aircraft technicians and IAs monitor the data per each aircraft and engine mating to ensure that the reports are accurate and customized for each operation and their particular mission.

ARMOR is currently developing a customer dashboard and app that will make the reports and information sharing even more convenient and readily accessible for pilots and ground crews wherever they may be in the world. With customizable reports, free video consultations, training for data downloads and uploads, as well as desktop applications that make the data transfer a 2-click process, ARMOR works hard to keep ahead of the ever-changing technology and to meet their customer’s needs.
