Zen and the Art of Airbus Failure Handling

An essay I wrote a decade or so ago to crystallise my thoughts around my failure handling process. Examples are Airbus oriented, but otherwise its fairly generic. It's only 7 A5 pages, so it's a pretty quick read.

AIMS data extraction

A tool to extract personal flight data from AIMS “vertical“ rosters and AIMS pilot logbook reports, converting them to CSV, iCal or eFJ format. In addition to the web interface linked to above, it is available as a local application with both GUI and CLI interfaces.

The version of AIMS targeted is the July 2024 update at easyJet. If you are not an easyJet pilot, it may work for you if your airline is using the same version.
