What's new

October 2026

Safety New

The Safety group in the rail is filling in: safety reports with triage and investigations, the hazard register with bow ties, safety actions, change management, safety performance, safety boards, emergency response, safety promotion, and policy & objectives. Report a safety concern is now one click away at the top of every screen. Guides for these modules are on their way.

Audits — planning as guided flows Improved

• The programme is planned in five steps, with a month-by-month timeline worked out from each area’s risk and last audit — and spread across your lead auditors.
• Planning an audit is four steps, showing what to take into account in the area before you start.
• Setup is nine guided steps. Grades can start from EASA levels, IOSA, or Major / Minor / Observation.
• Checklists are built in five steps and can cover several areas.
• Suppliers are taken on through a seven-step evaluation, decided independently.
• Auditors are qualified rather than appointed: nomination, training, trainee audits, assessment and authorisation for named areas — with currency watched automatically.

Audits — insights, signals and AI help New

• Insights for the programme and for findings, every figure opening the records behind it.
• Targets and alert levels, including risk-based department targets proposed for you.
• Signals — eight patterns Wingcert looks for every night — with decisions: plan a targeted audit, raise a systemic finding, watch, or dismiss.
• The management review, printed and sealed from the figures themselves.
• The Weekly summary notification.
• Optional AI help: Suggest a cause on a finding, and Group into themes on insights.

Audits, Findings and Corrective actions New

• Conduct our own audits: the team, independence checks, one-question-at-a-time fieldwork, and a sealed report with a QR code anyone can check.
• Findings from every kind of audit in one register, with audits received from the authority, customers and IOSA.
• Corrective actions, done with evidence and verified by somebody independent.
• Every records list exports to Excel or CSV.

Sign-in Improved

The WingcertID sign-in pages have a new look, with step-by-step guidance on each screen.

September 2026

People & access New

• A register of everybody your airline employs, whether or not they sign in, with views for an access review.
• Invite in four steps, one person or a ticked selection.
• Import a staff list without inviting anybody.
• Structure: drag people onto departments and jobs.
• Jobs ask their questions one at a time, and show who gains and loses what before you save.
• The pre-flight checks on first sign-in, including new starter reading.

Ramp inspections and Alcohol & substances New

The ramp inspection programme and alcohol and substance testing, including the iPad app for working offline on the ramp.

Your profile Improved

A profile colleagues can open, with your photo and an adopted signature. Notifications that carry an obligation — something to read, a date approaching — are now emailed as well as shown on the bell.

Sign-in emails Improved

Sign-in codes and invitations are now sent through a new mail service, for better delivery to company mailboxes.

Documents and Regulations Improved

Sections can name the regulation paragraphs they satisfy, and you are told when a paragraph you cite is amended.

August 2026

Documents New

The controlled library: manuals written as sections with automatic numbering, revision control and approval, PDFs with a list of effective pages and change bars, read-and-sign, and the controlled copy register.

Sign-in without a password New

Passkeys, plus an authenticator app and a PIN for remote desktops and shared terminals — and the account page showing your platforms, devices and credentials.
