Read full description

WinopsEFB is a professional Electronic Flight Bag for commercial and private pilots, purpose-built to centralize every piece of operational information around a single flight. Operational Flight Plan At the core of WinopsEFB is a structured OFP viewer that breaks down the flight plan into clearly organized sections โ€” route, fuel, weather, NOTAMs, and more โ€” making pre-flight preparation faster and more reliable. Route visualization renders your planned trajectory in 3D with vertical profile display, giving you an immediate spatial understanding of the flight before you leave the ground. Complete Flight Documentation WinopsEFB consolidates all flight-related documents in one place. Loadsheets, handling documents, and supporting files are attached directly to each flight, with automatic detection of OFP revisions so you always know when something has changed. Flight Acceptance Pilots can formally sign off on flight acceptance directly within the app, creating a clean, auditable workflow from briefing to departure. Fuel & Aircraft Status Monitor fuel state and review aircraft technical status and active defects โ€” all the critical dispatch information you need, structured and immediately accessible. Crew Synchronization Captain and First Officer iPads stay perfectly in sync over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth โ€” no internet required. Any update made by one pilot is reflected on the other's device in real time, ensuring both crew members always share the same operational picture. Integrations WinopsEFB connects with your existing operational ecosystem. Native integration with PPS/CrewBriefing pulls live flight plan data automatically, and deep links with third-party aviation apps keep your full toolkit connected. Built natively for iPad with a modern SwiftUI interface and offline-capable local storage. Designed for professionals. Built for the flight deck.
