Centrik provides comprehensive operational management systems to the aviation industry for more than a decade. It mainly focuses on compliance, safety, risk, and training.
FL3XX regularly reads expiration dates of crew licenses and qualifications in Centrik and auto-updates them in FL3XX, saving time, manual labor, and minimizing errors and inaccuracies.
