Electronic Flight Folder

The EFF part of the EFB replaces the hardcopy flight preparation we used previously. The EFF program allows you to download all flight preparation, make fuel calculations en monitor En-route performance, weather and make notes accordingly.

The EFF (Electronic Flight Folder) briefing package contains all flight-related documents and data such as the operational flight plan (OFP), weather, weather charts, and NOTAMs in a standardized data structure, always related to specific flights and dedicated to the crew.

EFF module integrated with LIDO, JEPPESEN, and NAVTECH Briefing Packages in ARINC 633-1/2 XML Format. Other flight plan providers may also supported for customization.

EFF Specifications

Real-time flight briefing data,

Improved dispatch reliability,

Elimination of paper printing, paper handling and paper storage costs,

Reduced planning and aircraft briefing time,

Reduction of pilot workload due to automatic calculation of simple manual tasks (like adding elapsed times, OOOI times, time check, fuel check), (Arinc429 connection required)

Potential safety increases due to the possibility to implement automatic cross checks of important flight data (such as actual fuel on board being larger than minimum fuel),

Cost reduction due to a higher automation in post-flight checking of en-route ATC charges,

Improvements in flight planning due to a feedback of actual flown routes into flight planning systems,

Improvements in in-flight optimization due to a more current briefing package,

Cost reduction due to a stabilization and simplification of the operation, e.g. less airline ramp or airport handling agent tasks, fewer delays due to missing briefing papers,
