BUSINESS AND CORPORATE AVIATION
The PPS Flight Planning and CrewBriefing solution is a very efficient, suitable and powerful flight planning solution for private and corporate operators flying just a single King Air as well as for AOC operators flying a larger mixed turboprop/jet aircraft fleet on commercial basis.
With the set-up facilities and flexibility built into PPS, it can easily accommodate aircraft performance data set-up and flight log lay-out designs used in more special operations such as ambulance flights, special cargo flights or in aircraft operations where cabin configurations are often changed all depending on the mission.
PPS contains all aeronautical data, information on the specific aircraft DOC costs along with fuel price management facilities as well as automatic calculation of en-route overflight charges. This enables you as operator to analyse and select the minimum production cost routing as well as the most economical flight level automatically while taking into consideration en-route winds and temperature forecast data. A direct return of the investment in PPS can, thus, be expected in a very short time.
Solution Advantages
The advantages of the PPS Flight Planning and CrewBriefing solution mean that the operator gets a pc-based flight planning software tool that will create everything the crew needs in seconds; it will generate the routing, calculate cruise performance and fuel requirements, weight and balance, file the flight plan electronically worldwide, manage CFMU slot messages and CTOTs while giving the user full planning flexibility in the process. Without human interaction required, trip tailored briefings are automatically created and made instantly available via the internet on www.CrewBriefing.com. A CrewBriefing package can include the operational flight plan/log with updated winds and temperatures, ATS flight plan copy and updated trip tailored NOTAM briefing, surface weather briefing, wind charts, vertical cross section wind chart, significant weather charts as well as company messages and company NOTAMs. A special upload feature allows the pilots or ops department to upload additional pdf documents applying to the flight.
The system can run off a lap-top as well as be installed on a network or Terminal Server environment if required. The PPS Flight Planning main system as well as the route generator system can also work off-line.
The fact that the PPS Flight Planning system is pc-based and that the PPS CrewBriefing solution is web-based and are fully integrated with each other means that a pilot colleague from a small flight department who is located at home can easily help another pilot colleague located in an airport since all PPS users within one company can have access to view other company flights, generate new flight plans, change flight plans, send delay messages etc. Or the pilot could carry a lap-top which has an internet connection for full independent filing of new flight plans, changes etc. For AOC operators with an operations office, this integration coupling and way of working makes it very simple and very efficient to support the flight crews the best possible way since the operations department will typically be using the PPS Flight Planning system for creating and managing all flights, whereas the crew can focus on using the CrewBriefing facilities.
If an operations dispatcher or a corporate pilot plans a flight at the end of day 1 and file the flight plan, then when the flight departs the following day all the pilot has to do is to go to www.CrewBriefing.com to retrieve his fully updated briefing package on-the-fly without any action required other than briefing himself and printing out the updated package or alternatively fax it from CrewBriefing or download it to a lap-top.
