Logipad Electronic Flight Folder module

Briefing procedures based on best practices

Our Electronic Flight Folder (EFF) module is the right choice if you are looking for a customizable, flexible yet lean briefing solution. Based on best-practice flight procedures, the Logipad EFF is designed to provide pilots with flight-relevant briefing data in digital and thus paperless form. It is a major component of the comprehensive Logipad EFB solution and it is also available as a standalone application.

Correctly handling digital briefing data unlocks a high potential for optimizing processes and saving time, as well as for decreasingly the likelihood of potential errors. Even briefing updates sent at short notice before the flight can be provided directly onto a mobile device such as a Windows tablet or an Apple iPad. Logipad can be set up in a cloud-based environment as well as implemented on premises in the customer environment.

Process optimization through digitalization

Our solution is not just about replacing paper-based briefings; it is a matter of managing processes in an efficient way. We ensure that process steps are adhered to – not only for compliance reasons. For example, logic checks, data validation, and stored field conditions reduce the probability of incorrect entries. Role-based management helps to provide relevant data to the right users. It is even possible to set different permissions for each user role within a crew. Plus, completed briefings are signed with a user-based certificate (eSignature).

Smart, Reliable, and EFF-icient.

Meets your requirements

The Electronic Flight Folder contains flight plans, NOTAMS, weather charts, and additional flight information, for example, and the structure can be adapted as required.

Facilitates communication processes

Logipad facilitates communication between the crew and ground staff and within the crew. Briefing data can even be exchanged between multiple devices.

Pilot-friendly operation

The pilot-friendly operation allows flight-relevant data such as fuel, weight, and time to be documented efficiently during the flight with just a few taps of a finger.

Customization and Flexibility: A Matter of Your definition

One of our strengths lies within our high degree of customization. It is essential for us to understand your specific use cases and individual requirements. In this way, Logipad fits into our customers’ existing processes and optimizes them, not the other way around.

ARINC 633-2 compliant

Logipad EFF uses briefing packets according to ARINC 633-2 standard. This means a flight planning system that supports this or an equivalent format must be used.

Structured as required

We align the look and structure of the Flight Folder with the operations manual and briefing definition provided by our customers. And there is no need to renew the whole application in case you want to modify the layout of the EFF view.

Data management

The management of your data can also be customized, such as fuel consumption data and the corresponding prices stored in the backend. The data can then be transferred to other systems, for example for fuel optimization.

Additional information

Every type of additional information can be collected via separate sections or self-built eForms.

A focus on usability

Beyond the requirements of the ARINC standard, we place a high focus on usability in the further development of the user interface. For pilots, the easily accessible and clear structure of flight-relevant data is crucial. We have optimized the application for efficient usability so that pilots can focus on essential tasks and procedures. Logipad ensures a focused workflow with:

Input validation
Fast capture visual elements
Reduced interface

Key Features

We have used feedback from our customers to develop some key features that make working with Logipad a unique experience.

Device-to-Device Communication

What happens to the briefing when there is a shift change in the cockpit?
With Device-to-Device communication, briefing data can be exchanged between devices. Different roles (captain, first officer) are taken into account with regard to the briefing handling, which complies regular cockpit procedures. The Device-to-Device feature is available for iOS for up to seven devices.

Exchange of briefing data between multiple devices.

Interoperability and the exchange of data

Our customers consider the simple integration of our application into their software environment to be an important selection criterion. In addition to connectors, we have developed easy-to-use functions to transfer data to other applications. To give just one example: pilots can transfer flight routes to Lido with just one click. In addition, our Logipad iPad app supports split-screen mode, which allows applications to be displayed side by side. Performance data from other applications can be imported into Logipad or vice versa. You can exchange data with other applications, provided this is supported by third-party vendors.

Security and compliance: Protected Access

Logipad supports OAuth authorization tokens. OAuth as an authorization method does not share password data but instead uses tokens to prove the user’s identity between the application and our services. This provides fast, standardized, and secure access every time you log in to Logipad. Additionally, the use of biometric authentication is available as an option. Both Face ID and Touch ID are supported for iOS devices.

Data economy: Priority Sync

Similar to the priority lane for VIP passengers, we prioritize data traffic for syncing briefing data. When synchronizing Logipad via pre-configured aircraft Wi-Fi networks, the briefing module can be assigned an exclusive priority for updating flight information. This optimizes synchronization processes if time needs to be saved or when the data traffic is limited.

Data economy: partial EFF updates

Our app supports partial updates of EFF packages according to ARINC-633 specification. A certain number of flights or more will generate large amounts of data. In order to avoid costly charges, we kilobytes while updating the briefing data.

Are you looking for a flexible yet lean EFF or a comprehensive EFB solution?

The Electronic Flight Folder module is part of the comprehensive Logipad Electronic Flight Bag solution. However, the individual EFF module is also available as a standalone application. You can still upgrade to the full Logipad EFB solution package with all its modules at a later date.
