HOW IT WORKS?
SMARTCONTENTGUARD
SMARTCONTENTGUARD
Discover how SmartContentGuard transforms raw aeronautical information into instant visual intelligence.
THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND SAFETY
SmartContentGuard is a browser extension developed to automatically process, analyze, and highlight critical operational safety information found in NOTAMs, weather bulletins, and AIS/AIM data.
PROCESSING IN 3 STAGES
1. Intelligent Detection
When you access a page containing aeronautical information, SCG automatically identifies:
NOTAMs (Notices to Airmen)
Weather bulletins (TAF, METAR, SIGMET)
AIS/AIM data (Aeronautical Information Services/Management)
The software recognizes ICAO-standardized patterns and common data structures. No manual configuration required.
2. Content Analysis
After detection, the SCG analysis engine processes the text identifying:
Critical Safety Information:
Airspace restrictions
Closed runways and taxiways
Inoperative equipment (ILS, PAPI, lighting)
Adverse weather conditions
Procedure changes
Priority Classification:
High risk (red)
Moderate attention (yellow)
Informational (blue)
3. Intelligent Visualization
SCG applies automatic visual highlighting directly on the page:
Text Highlighting:
Critical keywords appear in vibrant colors
Intuitive icons indicate alert type
Consolidated Top Panel:
Executive summary of the most important information
Dark Mode: (Planned)
Interface adapted for low-light operations
Reduced visual fatigue during extended reading
TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE
Local Processing (Privacy by Design)
All data is processed locally in your browser.
No information sent to external servers
Your browsing data remains private
Works even without internet connection (after installation)
Native Compatibility
SmartContentGuard was developed to work seamlessly with:
AISWeb (Brazil/DECEA)
International NOTAM systems
AIM portals of aeronautical authorities
Aeronautical meteorology websites
ADVANCED FEATURES
ICAO Pattern Engine
SCG uses pattern libraries based on:
ICAO Doc 8126 (AIS Manual)
ICAO Annex 15 (Aeronautical Information Services)
Standardized NOTAM format (Q-line, FIR, coordinates)
This ensures accuracy in identifying critical data, regardless of source.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
What SCG is NOT
❌ A substitute for official publications
❌ A certified or approved system
❌ A primary source of operational data
What SCG IS
✅ An auxiliary visualization tool
✅ A reading and interpretation accelerator
✅ A cognitive load reducer for aviation professionals
✅ A complement to your existing procedures
PASSIVE DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY
Non-Decisional by Design
SmartContentGuard is classified as a Passive Advisory Display System, not a Decision Support System (DSS). Understanding this distinction is crucial for both legal compliance and proper operational use.
What This Means Technically
What SmartContentGuard DOES
Visual Enhancement Only
• Applies color-coded highlighting to predefined keywords
• Categorizes terms by criticality (Critical, Warning, Info)
• Displays occurrence statistics (count, frequency)
• Facilitates navigation and reading efficiency
Zero Data Modification
• Does NOT alter original text from official sources
• Does NOT suppress or hide any information
• Does NOT reorder or reinterpret content
• Preserves 100% data integrity
Exemple:
Original NOTAM: "RWY 09/27 CLOSED FOR MAINTENANCE"
SmartContentGuard: "RWY 09/27 [RED HIGHLIGHT] CLOSED FOR MAINTENANCE"
Note: Only adds visual marker, text remains unchanged
What SmartContentGuard DOES NOT DO
No Interpretation Layer
• Does NOT analyze the operational meaning of text
• Does NOT generate conclusions or inferences
• Does NOT calculate risks or probabilities
• Does NOT process data to create new information
No Decision-Making Component
• Does NOT recommend actions (e.g., "You should divert")
• Does NOT suggest procedures (e.g., "Use alternate runway")
• Does NOT provide operational guidance
• Does NOT replace pilot judgment
No Automation
• Does NOT make automated decisions
• Does NOT execute actions on your behalf
• Does NOT interface with flight control systems
• Does NOT validate or certify information accuracy
Legal Classification
SmartContentGuard operates similarly to:
✓ Microsoft Word "Find" function
✓ Google Search keyword highlighting
✓ Adobe Acrobat text marker
✓ Browser "Ctrl+F" search feature
NOT Comparable To (Different Category)<br
SmartContentGuard is NOT:
✗ Certified Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) systems
✗ Flight Management Systems (FMS)
✗ Weather routing optimization software
✗ Automated decision support tools
The Digital Highlighter Analogy
Think of SmartContentGuard as a smart highlighter marker for digital documents:
Physical Highlighter vs SmartContentGuard
• You mark text on paper → Software marks text on screen
• Doesn't change the document → Doesn't change official data
• Helps you read faster → Helps you process NOTAMs faster
• You still read everything → You still verify everything
• You decide what it means → You decide operational impact
Key Point: Just as you wouldn't hold a highlighter manufacturer liable if you misread a document, SmartContentGuard operates at the same legal liability level—it's a tool, not a decision-maker.
Your Responsibilities Remain Unchanged
Using SmartContentGuard does NOT reduce your obligation to:
1. Consult Official Sources
Primary sources remain mandatory (AIP, NOTAM, METAR, TAF). SmartContentGuard supplements, never replaces.
2. Apply Professional Judgment
All operational decisions are yours alone. Software assists reading, not thinking.
3. Verify All Information
False positives and negatives may occur. Always cross-reference critical data.
4. Follow Standard Procedures
All regulations, SOPs, and best practices apply. Tool usage doesn't change your checklist.
Technical Guarantee: No Hidden Logic
What you see is what you get:
• Keyword lists are publicly documented
• No "black box" algorithms
• No machine learning or AI interpretation
• No hidden scoring or ranking systems
Open Transparency:
View our complete keyword database and understand exactly what triggers each highlight. No surprises, no ambiguity.
Declaration of conformity
SmartContentGuard's passive design ensures:
✓ No certification required (not a critical system)
✓ Not subject to DO-178C (no flight-critical functions)
✓ User retains full liability (tool user, not tool maker)
✓ Compatible with ICAO standards (informational aid only)
Read the complete legal details: Terms of Use – Clause 4.1.1
Why This Matters
For Pilots and Dispatchers
• Understand tool limitations for better decision-making
• Know what to trust vs. what to verify
• Use effectively without over-reliance
For Organizations
• Clear liability boundaries
• No regulatory approval needed for deployment
• Integrates with existing SOPs without changes
For Legal and IT Teams
• Passive system equals lower risk profile
• No data processing equals simplified privacy compliance
• Standard browser extension equals minimal security concerns
Bottom Line
SmartContentGuard is your visual assistant, not your co-pilot. It highlights keywords, you make decisions. Always.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does SCG work on all websites?
SCG is optimized for websites containing structured aeronautical data. Works best on official AIS/AIM portals but can process any page with NOTAMs or weather data.
Do I need internet connection?
After installation, processing is local. You only need internet to access the websites with aeronautical information.
Does SCG alter original data?
No. SCG only adds visual layers over existing content. Original data remains intact and accessible.
