FlightBrief Change the way you see your flight plan FlightBrief is an operational companion designed for Boeing 777 and Boeing 787 pilots.

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.
