EFB | Trip Kit
In previous weeks, we have been covering a number of elements in our Crew Zone and EFB. This week, we take a flight with the Trip Kit: a single view for the crew to know what to expect on the route and at the airport.
You have a flight tomorrow.
It could be a destination you know well, or perhaps one you have not operated into for months.
- Airports to check
- Procedures to remember
- Frequencies to find
- Charts to access
- Operating hours to confirm
- Special instructions to consider
Where do you start? Simply open your Trip Kit for all the information.
Know the airport. Fly prepared.
And then you select an airport. That’s when the detail appears.
Know where you’re going.
You get a complete view of what is waiting for you, before you depart. The best preparation starts with simply seeing where you’re going.
The same airport, three ways to view it:
See what matters on the ground.
The airport isn’t just a pin on a map. Each airport is different and unique in its own way.
- Specific runway information
- Arrival and departure procedures
- Operating hours
- Frequencies
Finding the right information should be easy. Trip Kit brings those details together.
Turn airport information into your operational advantage.
Know the status
Licences, approvals and airport information, all in one place. Capture SACAA licensing and current approval information as you build your airport database.
No separate records. No hunting for information. Just the right information, right when you need it.
Know the operating hours
Update hours for daylight operations, seasonal changes and periods of high traffic.
No outdated information. No surprises. Give users the right information to plan their operations with confidence.
See your charts, right where you need them.
Upload relevant airport and instrument charts and make them part of the airport’s information.
No searching through files. No separate folders. No uncertainty.
Then there’s the stuff you don’t find in a database.
Not everything important is in the standard airport data. Maybe it’s the right person to call, a local instruction, a special arrival consideration, or something the crew needs to prepare before departure.
It’s the knowledge your operation has built up over time. Capture those operational notes and keep them permanently linked to the airport, right alongside the official information.
Experience should not live in someone’s memory.
What if someone discovers something about an airport that other ChApp users should know?
That’s where Community Chat comes in. Information added to Community Chat can be viewed by all ChApp users.
It could be a change in runway condition that wasn’t there yesterday. Real-time information can be shared and made available on the ChApp system. One person adds the information; the wider ChApp community can benefit from it.
See it. Know it. Fly it.
The Trip Kit shouldn’t simply be a collection of documents. It should bring the trip and airport information together, giving crew a clearer picture of where they are going and what they need to know before they get there.
The information for your trip. The details for your destination. All in one place.
The organisation’s knowledge stays with you.
That’s not just information. That’s an operational advantage.
