Take control with EFB Admin Settings


Behind every smooth flight operation is a network of decisions, data and tools.

In the middle of it all, skybook keeps operators in control…

Providing a customisable EFB application and supporting Ground Portal, with powerful admin control settings that shape it precisely to your operational needs!

Every operator works differently...

Some want dispatch screens packed with extra data like ETOPS slots and fuel status, while others require detailed control over NOTAM filtering.

Some prefer a streamlined EFB app view with minimal crew facing data, while others want full data usage from pre-flight through post-flight.

And for those happy with the default settings and workflow, that works too!

With the skybook admin controls, operators can decide how the platform behaves, no coding and no waiting on external support. From the moment it’s deployed, super admin users can make instant changes across dispatch, crew briefings and voyage reports.


Customising the entire flight phase

Operators can customise the EFB solution,such as renaming or hiding fields for each stage of flight, ensuring crews see only what’s relevant.

Whether it’s pre-flight preparation, in-flight updates, or post-flight reporting, the workflow can be slimmed down or expanded depending on your operational data needs.

Minima settings can be tuned for general, group, or airfield-specific needs, ensuring operational safety parameters are always precise.

The EFF (Electronic Flight Folder) can be configured to include or exclude certain weather settings, NOTAMs, crew lists, or additional topics, letting you balance detail with clarity.

Dispatch designed around you

In skybook, you decide exactly what’s displayed on the Dispatch dashboard such as:

  • departure and arrival data
  • ETOPS information
  • slot timings
  • statuses
  • aircraft registration
  • fuel figures
  • attachments, messages

Meaning your dispatchers can instantly spot potential issues and react, while keeping an eye on live OOOI times (Out, Off, On, In) transmitted from the crew’s EFB.

And when changes are needed? Updated notices, NOTOCs, or loadsheets can be pushed straight to the pilot briefing pack on the EFB app.

Fleet, charts & sector briefings

Every aircraft in your fleet can be configured with its exact performance metrics, from cruise speed and minimum runway length to ETOPS ranges and weight & balance parameters.

Fuel and oil metrics can also be set per aircraft, ensuring accurate planning and compliance.

Chart settings give you the same level of precision. You can enable range rings, select default ICAO-region charts, and even overlay turbulence data on vertical profiles.

Sector briefings are equally adaptable. Define the exact steps required for sector release, link them to specific desk IDs, and include only the documents and notices each crew needs.

Precision in Wx & NOTAM management

When it comes to situational awareness, having the relevant integrated data is everything.

In the settings for Wx Watch you can define status codes and set critical weather thresholds, so your team can instantly see the difference between light turbulence and critical conditions like heavy ice pellets.wx watch settings

NOTAM management is just as flexible. You can define how long certain NOTAMs remain visible, whether FIR-level advisories are included, and set filtering rules for IFR notices.

FIR overrides let you fine-tune what’s displayed based on altitude bands, NOTAM types, and geographical coverage, cutting down on noise so crews can focus on what matters.


An EFB platform that grows with you

This deep level of the admin control and EFB settings is not just about flexibility; it’s a strategic advantage!

When regulations change, when new aircraft enter the fleet, or when operational priorities shift, you can adapt instantly. No downtime. No waiting for any development.

skybook hands control back to the operators, providing the tools to build an EFB platform that works exactly the way you need it to.
