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.

Briefing What Matters. NOTIME is a pilot briefing app that helps professional flight crew quickly review operational information before the flight and in the air. It organises supported Operational Flight Plans (OFPs), including Lido, NavBlue, Jeppesen and Virgin formats, into a focused, easy-to-read briefing. Available detail depends on the source document. BRIEFING • OFP analysis and operational summaries • NOTAM filtering by route, airport and operational timing • Departure, en-route and arrival weather summaries • Contaminated runway detection (GRF / RCAM) • ETOPS and escape-airport awareness • Volcanic ash, space weather and operational cautions • Interactive route map and vertical profile • Customisable operational thresholds and crew notes • Professional PDF briefing export ROUTE BUILDER Start with a supported flight number, paste a route or import an OFP. Confirm your intended departure date and time in UTC. Flight lookup may use a previous flown track; a complete route is not available for every flight. Coverage limits and missing data are identified in the briefing. LIVE ROUTE ASSIST Follow the loaded flight on the Visual Brief map using Flight API positioning, or choose device GPS. Tap a mapped airport for current weather, suggested runway, runway length, approach aids and aircraft-to-airport distance. Advisory terrain bands highlight terrain above 10,000, 15,000 and 20,000 ft. DIVERT Tap a supported airport to review applicable NOTAM restrictions by severity, with source text available for reference. FTL CHECK Enter duty details to review maximum FDP, latest on-blocks and available commander's discretion, including augmented crew, split duty, standby call-outs and delayed reporting. PRIVACY Core OFP analysis happens on your device and the complete OFP is not uploaded. Online route and weather services receive the details needed for your request. Flight API mode sends the loaded flight identifier to NOTIME's position service. Device GPS is used only when selected. Optional anonymous app-use analytics are off by default and controlled in More. IMPORTANT NOTIME is a supplementary briefing and situational-awareness aid for qualified flight crew. It does not replace the official OFP, approved charts, company procedures, dispatch information, ATC or pilot judgement. Live data may be delayed, incomplete or unavailable and must never be used as the sole basis for navigation, diversion, approach or landing decisions.
