Mobile application for the Pobeda airlines
By law, all airlines in Russia are required
to record the negotiations of crew members
in the cockpit. We developed an iPad application
that helps the Pobeda airlines to fulfill
the requirements of the law.
In this project we did:

The data protection
The information security service of the Pobeda airlines asked
us to transfer all the data by safe SFTP Protocol.
To implement this, our iOS developers had to come up
with a clever way to circumvent Apple's restrictions. But now
all the information is safe. After the files
are transferred, the mobile app deletes them from the iPad
memory.
The app records conversations in the background
in mp3 format. But the transfer via SFTP can not be done
with the screen off, so our iOS-developers have set a timer
in the system code which ensures that the screen
is turned on during the data transfer.
One button
The main customer's goal was to fulfill
the requirements of the law. Therefore, we had
to make the project simple, fast, and inexpensive.
We used mostly native elements and didn't complicate
the application. The recording starts with
the touch of a button. When the tablet connects
to WiFi, the files are automatically sent
to the server.
The design of the application was assembled from
native components which facilitated and accelerated
the development process. Prototyping and writing
the code took about two weeks, then we tested
the application on airplanes and made changes
for about a month. The customer's task has been
completed and we are happy.
