Flightman is an innovative wireless solution that allows integration of an airline's critical processes on the flight deck and replaces the paper forms used to manage commercial aircraft. The application allows electronic entry of a wide range of operations and maintenance information by flight and ground crew, and tracking, management and reporting of that data using web services via the internet.

Rockwell Collins is providing the information management architecture for both Boeing and Airbus aircraft through separate agreements with Connexion by Boeing and Airbus. The partnership includes provisions for extending the platform applications into further areas of the airlines' operations.
