FlightBrief Change the way you see your flight plan FlightBrief is an operational companion designed for Boeing 777 and Boeing 787 pilots. It transforms the traditional Operational Flight Plan from a static PDF into a structured, interactive operational interface built around real-world line operations. Instead of navigating dense black-and-white documents, FlightBrief analyzes the Operational Flight Plan and presents critical information through clear, logically organized views. Operationally relevant data is prioritized, helping pilots interpret complex flight information quickly and efficiently. Operational Clarity FlightBrief converts raw flight plan data into a format aligned with cockpit workflows. Key parameters, performance considerations, fuel planning elements, and operational constraints are presented in a consistent and intuitive structure. Color-coded visual logic enhances situational awareness by highlighting conditions, deviations, and decision-relevant factors across all flight phases. Key Capabilities • Import Operational Flight Plans directly from PDF • Structured analysis of route, fuel, and performance data • Interactive Navigation Display with 2D globe visualization • Visualization of routes, airports, and FIR boundaries • Monitoring of operational limitations and constraints • Integrated weather and situational awareness tools • Fuel, weight, and performance-related calculations • Personalized notes and knowledge capture • Seamless synchronization across iPhone and iPad • Threat Briefings for Departure, Cruise and Arrivals Navigation Display (GLOBE) The GLOBE provides a dynamic operational perspective of the flight, integrating route geometry, adequate airports, FIRs, and operationally relevant information into a single coherent view. Pilots gain immediate awareness of flight structure, environmental factors, and surrounding operational context without the need to cross-reference multiple documents. Designed for Line Operations FlightBrief is designed to reduce information scanning and cognitive workload by presenting flight plan data in a clear, operationally aligned format. The app supports situational awareness and decision-focused workflows throughout all phases of flight. Check www.softwareforpilots.com for more information.
