Austrian operator Goldeck-Flug moves its fleet to a digital tech log

Goldeck-Flug, an Austrian business aviation operator, has replaced its paper technical log with TrustFlight's electronic Tech Log, TrustFlight said on 4 November 2026. Goldeck-Flug works from Vienna Airport and Wiener Neustadt. It has worked in aviation since 1991 and provides private jet charter, aircraft management, charter sales support and technical support.

What changed

Four aircraft are covered. They are two Pilatus PC-12 NGX turboprops, one Bombardier Challenger 300 and one Bombardier Global XRS. Before going live, Goldeck-Flug ran paper and electronic logs side by side, and Austro Control then approved it to retire paper.

Tech Log links to FL3XX for scheduling and to CAMP for maintenance tracking. Trips move from the scheduler to the crew iPad, and each flight updates maintenance at the end. TrustFlight CEO Karl Steeves said the team completed the switch across the mixed fleet in a little over ten weeks.

TrustFlight is an aviation safety and compliance software and services company. TrustFlight says it serves more than 1,600 organisations in 120 countries.

Why it matters

The aircraft can be away from base for days. A defect the crew record abroad now reaches maintenance at once. Parts and engineering support can be lined up before the next flight.

Christian Krotmayer of Goldeck-Flug said, "With Tech Log, our maintenance team sees a defect as soon as the crew enters it. With paper, that could take days."

For owners of managed aircraft, every flight, defect and maintenance action has a full audit trail. Goldeck-Flug can share a complete, current record of each aircraft. The release says the records support resale value and are ready for regulators and auditors.
