Features

The aim of this new tool is to:

  • Simplify flight preparation (aeronautical and meteorological information, as well as flight plan filing and tracking)
  • Make it easier to prepare local or cross-country flights by consulting NOTAMs (new operational sorting)
  • Simplify flight plan filing. Many aids and checks have been introduced during data entry.

Use

The tool can be used on any device (computer, mobile, tablet)
