MILL VALLEY, CA — July 16, 2025 — Crewchief Systems®, the innovator in aircraft asset intelligence, today announced it has teamed-up with Garmin® to overhaul the way aircraft are managed — making ownership easier, safer, and powered by real-time intelligence as never before.

This collaboration combines Garmin’s cutting-edge PlaneSync™ avionics technology—which streams live flight and engine data from the cockpit every second of flight—with Crewchief’s industry leading intelligent platform that digitizes, organizes, and manages every detail of an aircraft’s life. Together, they deliver an integrated, always up-to-date ecosystem that does more than improve record-keeping—it transforms how owners, operators, and maintenance professionals protect their investments and operate with confidence.

From fragmented, paper-based records to a living digital twin

For decades, general aviation has been buried under manual logging, paper logbooks, and scattered analog files—meaning vital details can easily be lost, delayed, or overlooked. Crewchief Systems, now supercharged by live data streams from Garmin avionics, changes everything by:

·  Digitizing every record: With the Crewchief mobile app, owners can scan pages of logbooks, work orders, and maintenance documents on the spot. Advanced AI then transcribes and structures this into clean, searchable data— doing away with the paperwork nightmare.

·  Building a complete digital life story: From ADs and service bulletins to component serial numbers, inspections, and overhaul dates, Crewchief creates a secure, cloud-based timeline that follows an aircraft from its first flight through the end of service. This not only preserves the story of the aircraft—it maximizes resale value and trust.

·  Unlocking live intelligence: By teaming with Garmin, Crewchief now receives continuous flight logs and engine data uploaded automatically via PlaneSync. Every minute flown, every bit of engine data, and every compliance-critical detail updates instantly—with no manual entry, no lag, and no missing data.

A smarter way to manage, maintain and fly your aircraft

“This is the perfect blend of Garmin’s precision telemetry and the intelligence of the Crewchief platform,” said Aaron de Zafra, Founder and CEO of Crewchief Systems. “For the first time, aircraft owners and maintainers have a single, living record that automatically updates with every flight, every squawk, every AD, and every maintenance event. It means fewer surprises, smarter planning, safer flying — and complete confidence in the true health of your aircraft.”
