The budget Indigo airline wants to ease the workload of pilots with the new system.

Due to this automated process, the flight hours entered in the GCA e-logbook will contain uniform data and formatting for all parties involved, improving operations’ safety and efficiency. The removal of multilayer data validation will also enable data correctness and timely submission for the issue, renewal, and endorsement of licenses.
This will also offer real-time availability of flying hours data for pilots in compliance with rule 67A of Aircraft rules, and enable data accuracy and timely submission of issuance, renewals, and endorsement of licenses by removal of multilayer data validation. This process will permit pilots to devote more time towards their skill enhancement and improve their quality of life by freeing up time needed for work manual log filling.
