Over the past three months we have been busy promoting the Air Maestro system in Australia, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.
 In July we attended as a trade exhibitor at the New Zealand Aviation Industry Association and New Zealand Agricultural Aviation Association Conference which took place over a week. The conference was located in Blenheim in the Marlborough Region on the South Island. We received a high level of interest in Air Maestro at the event and have gained new customers in New Zealand.
 In September we traveled to the UK to launch the Air Maestro system into the UK and European markets. During our time in the UK we met with Aviation Safety and Fatigue Risk consultants, the CAA and various operators. We also took the opportunity to visit Aberdeen in Scotland to meet with a leading offshore helicopter operator.
 We attended two conferences in the UK the first being the Police Aviation Conference (PAvCon) located in Woodford Green in London where we were able to present Air Maestro to attendees and meet with key Police and Defence representatives.
We also attended the Helitech tradeshow located in Duxford at the Imperial War Museum. This tradeshow brought together helicopter industry trade exhibitors, operators and interested parties from all over Europe.
 Safeskies was our next event, this time in Canberra, Australia. The focus this year was how to proactively manage Aviation Safety in what the experts say will be the most rapidly expanding region in the world. Some of the concepts mentioned by the speakers have found their way onto our development priorities, where we are continuing to refine them.

Helitech 09. As a result we have further expanded our customer base and continue to recieve very promising enquiries from operators focused around Operational Compliance, Safety Management System (SMS) and Fatigue Risk Management Systems (FRMS).
As you might have guessed all of this extra interest means we have had to expand the Avinet team. We are pleased to announce the appointment of Alex Kadow who will join our support team. Alex has an aviation background and will be working closely with our support team to provide a first point of contact for customer support needs.
Prior to joining Avinet, Alex gained experience in aviation operations, serving as an operations officer for a flight training organisation.
• Flight Records custom fields have now been integrated with the Timesheets so that flight data can be captured in one location.
• We are currently working on a new Scheduling Module which will be used in conjunction with the Rostering Module to schedule aircraft and personnel to different jobs within a day.
We're including a prototype / beta version in our next release, due in early December, which will prompt discussion of specific requirements and future directions for this area.
