Automated data for each flight phase
We are experts at integrating systems and have been leading the way for many years. We work in partnership with our airline customers to understand why an integration is needed and the problems that need solving.
We map out the integration from data source to end point and determine how accessible it needs to be. The benefits of creating integrated data solutions include:
- Automated data management
- Connecting the workflow from pre-flight to post-flight
- Improved accuracy and communication
- Saving time and increasing data availability
Schedule & Crew Roster
Flight schedule data and crew rosters seamlessly integrate into our Flight Dispatch system and electronic flight bag.
Monitors AIMS API for schedule and crew details. As a request is received skybook connects to AIMS and obtains a schedule flight list.
Sabre scheduling enables airlines to create accurate operating schedules across their networks, regardless of fleet size, region or business model.
Connects to the Blueone API server and obtains a schedule flight list. This data is converted to a JSON format and stored in the database.
Ingests the crew and flight schedule information and then returns the journey log data back to Leon.
Displays flight details from Cyberjet within skybook, including all flight and crew schedule details, sends the post flight data back to Cyberjet.
For systems we don’t currently have a direct integration with, third parties can connect with our API services.
Operational Flight Plan (OFP)
We integrate with leading Flight planning providers, allowing flight deck access to vital flight data via digital briefing within the EFB application .
Fuel plan information is integrated into skybook to create a sector within dispatch. The briefing data & fuel plans are delivered together in a single package.
Allows for flight plans from the PPS API to be integrated with skybook using the OFP xml and pdf file formats from PPS.
Receives Arinc 633 data for the Fuel Plan. skybook creates a sector within dispatch and generates a tailored flight briefing pack.
Processes Flightkeys 5D flight plan data for access in the skybook dispatch portal.
Receive flight plans and convert them to the Arinc 633 format, to form the basis of an EFF, for briefing and dispatch. A readable OFP (PDF) is also provided.
Pushes A633 OFP packages sent from ForeFlight into skybook and data via SFTP.
Flight plans sent from SITA system to SFTP endpoint and integrated within skybook.
Flight plans are ingested from the CAE flight planning system.
For OFP providers we don’t integrate with, third parties can connect with our API services, or enquire about a new integration.
Aircraft Loadsheet Data & LMCs
Integrating the aircraft loadsheet ensures the flight crew are aware of the aircraft's total weight and load distribution before take-off. Last Minute Changes can also be recorded.
Extracts loadsheet data from iPort emails for flights, and converts for using as a sector message in the EFB application.
skybook retrieves Altea loadsheet files and transforms them into a 633 / LTD.xml format, to be included in an EFF flight package.
For other loadsheets we don’t integrate with, ask us about a new integration possibilities.
MEL - Minimum Equipment List
Integrating the MEL data into the EFB ensures pilots are aware of any equipment that is inoperable and removes the need for the pilot to find out this information from other sources.
Fuel Orders
Integrating with efueling providers allows skybook to automatically send fuel orders from the EFB to the specific Fuel service provider.
Weather & NOTAM
Weather and NOTAM integrations are used throughout the skybook Ground Portal and EFB, as well as on modules such as flight tracking and Airfield Watch.
We are the first to integrate Google’s predictive data for persistent contrails into our briefing charts, helping pilots to avoid contrail heavy routes.
Provides WX for sector briefings, charts, flight tracking & airfield watch: GRIB, BUFR, SIGWX, SIGMET, VAAC, TAAC, METAR, TAF. Updates data every 5 minutes.
Jeppesen WX such as SATIR, SFCWX, VAAC, HIWC, HURCN, SIGMET and LIGHT is used to create bespoke WSI briefing charts. Integrating Jeppesen NOTAM data.
Users can select NOTAMs from either Eurocontrol or Jeppesen sources. This allows for failure redundancy.
METAR and TAF data feeds are replicated between the Met Office and NOAA, NOAA is a backup feed for the Met Office.
NOTAM source provided by LIDO and contained within the pilots EFF briefing.
Flight Tracking Position Data
Our Flight Tracking provides ADS-B data and/or ACARS aircraft position data for reliable worldwide coverage and flight deviation alerts.
Aviation Apps
skybook is also able to integrate with a range of other popular aviation apps, for example providing the ability to instantly copy your flight chart data into flight deck pro.
Customers who use LIDO mPilot can share the flight plan in the skybook EFB, so that the pilots do not have to manually key in the information.
Users of FlightDeck Pro can share the flight plan in the skybook EFB, so that the pilots do not have to manually fill out the information.
Aviator integrates data from skybook using our EFB API. To create bespoke digital briefing packages.
Integrated Charts+ plugin within the skybook EFB, allows quick access to Charts+ to auto-populate certain flight plan fields.
RAIM report data
Integrated RAIM Prediction Mapping into their flight planning systems and RAIM Reports accessed on their EFB and in briefing packs.
Messaging
This feature facilitates the ingress of North Atlantic track messages, which are populated within the skybook Dispatch module.
Information received from an airline into skybook can be sent to Osprey to support operational and security decision making.
Customers can email AFTN messages. The informatiom required is extracted, and added to the specific sector in skybook.
AFTN is a worldwide system providing the exchange of messages and data, which allows us to receive ATS messages and AFTN messages.
Aircraft Interface Device (AID)
Connecting the EFB to AID /ONS to collect data from the aircraft and auto-populate fields such as OOOI times, waypoints and positions. (Currently Boeing AID devices)
Post-flight Data Reports
Share EFF data across systems
Many aviation companies using different providers for flight planning and EFB applications, having a solution that ensures your data is available and unrestricted is game changing.
All the integrated data received gets stored within the skybook Flight Record Vault and can be used for dispatch or flight briefing. We can also share the Electronic Flight Folder (EFF) data with 3rd Party EFB applications using our API.
skybook does this automatically for every flight, therefore reducing workloads and generating cost savings across flight operations.
