Prepare and perform your flight with the FlightBriefing App, then submit all the entered data and journey log to your airline's flight ops department or operations center from within the app. The Flight Briefing App contains a complete Electronic Flight Folder, with all necessary information for a pre-flight briefing, including map, weather (METAR, TAF, SIGMET, Wind and significant weather charts), NOTAMs, Operational Flight Plan (including Mass & Balance and Fuel Figures), and the filed ATC flight plan. - The Operational Flight Plan is interactive, perform time and fuel checks during the flight, remaining time and fuel is automatically calculated. - Weather and NOTAMs can be searched and marked as important or not applicable. - All data recorded during flight can then be submitted to your Airline's Flight Ops Department, eliminating the need for paper in the cockpit. - Includes a Journey Log with fields customized for your airline. Layout and data included can be adapted to your airline's own needs and operational procedures. The real data presented in the Flight Briefing App will come from your Airline's flight planning system (PPS, Navblue N-Flight Planning, other providers upon request), and contain the same information as you get in a traditional paper briefing package. An integration with your airline's flight planning provider and operational procedures is therefore necessary.
