ASAP Inc. Reliability, Service Emerge as Hallmarks, Say Customers

CRANBERRY TWP., PA. (March 30, 2006)-In an industry where change is rapid and adaptability is a competitive differentiator, customers of Automated Systems in Aircraft Performance - or ASAP, Inc. - affirm that the company stands out among the airline industry as champions of those qualities. ASAP provides comprehensive pre-flight data in paper manual and electronic flight bag software formats, for runway analysis and weight & balance calculations. In addition, according to its customers, ASAP also provides an uncommonly high level of service and reliability.
"ASAP is one of the few places you can call and talk with the president at any time for any situation," said Al Parris, Dispatch Manager for Maxjet, an ASAP airline client that utilizes the "Star" pre-flight calculation software. "The software is cool, and is very easy to train on. But beyond that, I've been very pleased with how responsive the people at ASAP are to our many requests for changes in the program. That's the most critical point. We are bringing on a new aircraft and making modifications along the way, which required totally new programming from ASAP, and they have expertly put it together. They are very customer savvy."
Bud Davis, recently retired Manager of Engineering for Pace Airlines, which used ASAP's paper manuals for its pre-flight calculations, echoed the Maxjet experience, saying, "ASAP always responded promptly to our many rush jobs and requests. We never had a problem with them. I always felt that if ASAP said they'd have something to you on a certain date, it would happen every time. We had a tough FAA audit one year. The first thing they asked for was our weight & balance documentation. We showed them our manual from ASAP, they looked at it for about a minute and said, 'Looks good to me.' That said a lot."

World Airways Purchases Leading-Edge ASAP Inc. Electronic Flight Bags
Unique Software Reduces Human Input by 653%, Eliminates Variables

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA (July 5, 2005)-World Airways, an Atlanta-based leading international passenger and cargo charter business, has purchased STAR, specialized electronic flight bag software that calculates runway analysis, weight and speed of aircraft, atmospheric conditions and other critical metrics, from ASAP, Inc.

The software is the latest innovation from ASAP (Automated Systems in Aircraft Performance, Inc.), which specializes in making flight preparations more reliable, efficient and profitable for 30 of the company's airline clients.
"Pre-flight calculations are all done by hand today, using on-board manuals," explained Cecil Teets, ASAP president. "With our product, airlines load more with greater accuracy. Electronic updates eliminate printed manual change-outs."
The ASAP software - controlled by laptop touch-screen prompts for ease of operation - accurately assesses FAA penalties. Automatic weight and balance calculations tell how and where to load the aircraft, and electronically store FAA-required reports. World Airways committed to test the ASAP software, with plans to expand its use.

"By receiving the dispatcher's briefing before getting on the plane, you don't have to make those calculations while everything is happening all around you, which greatly improves pre-flight operations," said Mike Bakken, head of Special Projects at World Airways. "FAA-required calculations took hours to do, and by the time you got your results, the temperature and wind might have changed anyway. We have seen a 653 percent reduction of human inputs with the ASAP system. Instead of a variable, this becomes a constant because we are reducing human input, achieving higher accuracy and compliance in less time, and seeing better on-time takeoff rates.

"The ASAP software makes information available at headquarters instantly," Bakken said. "The same plane may make multiple stops, and it's good to know what's on the plane to gauge what to remove and how much can be put on. The system is already intuitive, we're working with ASAP to make it more intuitive as a truly worldwide system."

The ASAP software provides historical records to help airlines adjust sales, marketing, pricing, distribution, and flight assignments, said Teets.
"We did a study that showed eight out of 10 flights made calculation errors when doing it manually," he said. "There's a real need to remove this costly variable."
