Piper, ATP Reach Agreement for Future Maintenance Data

Vero Beach, FL - Piper Aircraft Inc. (Piper) and Aircraft Technical Publishers (ATP) announce that, beginning Dec. 5, 2012, access to all Piper maintenance publications and regulatory documents will be available exclusively through the ATP Aviation Hub online service and ATP’s NavigatorV desktop platform. Until that time, Piper customers can access Piper’s manuals and technical publications through Avantext Inc., which will continue to serve as Piper’s exclusive distributor of all Piper maintenance publications and regulatory documents until Dec. 4, 2012.

ATP’s single integrated solution offers several advantages for users including learning one simple software platform for publication access, daily revision updates to all content, and eliminating the cost of installing and managing software. Maintainers can streamline parts procurement and reduce transcription errors by creating a parts list to be ordered by extracting information directly from the illustrated parts catalog or any technical publication.

“With ATP, Piper maintenance professionals will have access to all of our maintenance publications and the necessary regulatory documents,” says Simon Caldecott, Piper president and CEO. “ATP Aviation Hub subscribers can have immediate, online access to technical publications and airworthiness directives. NavigatorV desktop platform users also can quickly and efficiently download and install new libraries within minutes of purchase.”

“Going forward, ATP is pleased to partner with Piper Aircraft to provide these cloud-based services to the thousands of Piper owners, operators and maintainers around the world,” says ATP president Rich Marino. “Subscribers will have access to all their pubs through one complete service and always know they are current and ready for the next inspection.”
