Helitab/Flight Planner enables the creation of navigation routes including detailed instructions such as hover, landing or SAR patterns actions, configuration change, time or speed constraints... Created routes are displayed through the moving map and vertical profile. A weather forecast over the area can be downloaded and applied to the navigation and displayed over the map. Helitab/Flight Planner embeds weight & balance and performance computations models in accordance with Airbus Helicopters Flight Manual. Based on such models, the application displays over the navigation waypoints the planned W&B and available performance. Helitab/Flight Planner allows the planned mission to be shared through various flight documents or to the onboard FMS using a physical or wireless media.
