FirstFlight is a mobile application that enables real-time fuel and flight planning and the ability to make changes from the flight deck, pre-departure
FirstFlight has been developed with feedback from pilot focus groups on both functionality and navigation. Now utilised in 60 airports – over 500 pilots use FirstFlight – on 300 flights a day. As well as planning efficiencies, FirstFlight enables offline recording of fuel usage at all waypoints during the flight, which helps to highlight excessive fuel usage and provides post-flight data for statistical analysis and further optimisations.
FirstFlight brings together the most commonly used planning and resource tools, including: Fuel Planning, Weather, Radar, NOTAMs (with sorting functionality), Flight Information, Rostering & Duties and Fuel and Flight Summaries.
This is the next phase of flight planning technology, and one step closer to a paperless flight deck.”
