Enhancements to integration with other applications

Several enhancements have been made to the way certain features of FliteBrief integrate with other applications.

Note: For more information about application integrations, contact your FliteBrief account representative.

Lido mPilot integration

The FliteFolder mobile app now provides navigation and route information to the Lido mPilot application.

To turn on this integration in FliteBrief, go to the Default Settings tab in the Settings module, and then enter the values for the Lido/mPilot Caller ID and Lido/mPilot Secret Key fields.

When this integration is turned on, the OFP screen in the FliteFolder mobile app displays a new option within the Ellipsis menu.

After you've downloaded your chosen voyage, tap Open FPL in mPilot. The flight plan is sent to Lido mPilot, and the Lido mPilot app is launched.
Note: Lido mPilot integration is currently unavailable in Aviator.

iPort DCS integration

FliteBrief now receives loadsheets from iPort DCS by email and attaches them to flights as loadsheet attachments.

FliteBrief sends a push notification to FliteFolder mobile app (if the loadsheet is attached to the downloaded sector). The FliteFolder mobile app receives the loadsheet as a sector attachment when the voyage is updated or downloaded. The EFF associated with the voyage includes the loadsheet if it's attached to the sector.

Note: iPort DCS integration push notifications are currently unavailable in Aviator.

If the loadsheet attachment is active and you receive a new version, the new version replaces the active loadsheet. The active version is archived.

Fuel unit conversion

FliteBrief now converts the unit of measure for fuel before sending the information to the airline. The unit of measure is converted to either LBs or KGs, based on the aircraft model.

IBM MQ integration

FliteBrief now receives Calculated Take Off Time (CTOT) or slot time messages from IBM MQ.

To view messages received from IBM MQ in FliteBrief, go to the Dispatch module, click the Ellipsis for the flight, and then click Air Traffic Messages.

The types of slot time messages are:

  • Slot Allocation Message (SAM) - provides the slot time
  • Slot Revision Message (SRM) - provides the revised slot time
  • Slot Cancellation Message (SLC) - removes the slot time and makes the flight unrestricted
FliteBrief sends a push notification about the updated slot time to the following apps:
  • The FliteFolder mobile app
  • The Aviator app

The updated slot time messages are available in the following areas of the Dispatch page:

  • The Slot Status column shows the type of slot time message.
  • The Slot column shows the updated slot times.
