One of the big things that makes our electronic flight bag (or EFB) a success is how it pulls in all sorts of crucial information from the skybook ground portal.
The skybook API integrates all sorts of 3rd party data such as schedules, OFPs, crew rosters, NOTAM information, weather charts, MEL and much more.
With the great amount of versatility skybook offers, there is no surprise that the electronic flight bag is popular with EFB managers, pilots and a vast ranges of airline companies.
Dispatchers, pilots and flight operation teams are increasingly wanting to improve their workflow and move to a digital and more sustainable solution that ultimately saves them time, money and in turn helps to improve that all important on-time performance for the airline.
Now on to those crucial top EFB questions asked by airlines and operators...
Yes providing there is a data connection you can refresh from the app at any point and the latest weather and relevant filtered NOTAM information will appear.
If there is no connection, skybook goes into offline mode saving the latest version of the EFB. From there iPad can be updated using the airdrop feature, so yes skybook and its features can still be used without a connection.
Yes again connection dependant there is an instant message from the skybook flight dispatch ground portal system that sends directly to the EFB device for the flight crew to see.
Whilst there will probably always be a small element of paper needed, the flight briefing sign off is all digital and much more efficient.
skybook has a 99.95% uptime guarantee. But on the very small chance, there is always an option to take the paper based or PDF based version of the OFP from the ground portal system.
As mentioned at the start, we have a number of integration options available enabling skybook to ingest data pre flight and share data directly post flight.
This helps save time, improve accuracy and greatly reduce the possibility of errors when transferring data from one system to another.
Yes skybook integrates with Flight Deck Pro and Lido mPilot, via the quick links on out EFB summary page. skybook allows the inputted data to be transferred over with just the click of a button.
This streamlines the briefing process, saving time and aids with situational awareness. We have the capability to integrate with many other solutions, so just ask.
In the form builder module we can recreate a form or alternatively we can create an EFB version of the form dependant on local CAA rules on how the form is to be displayed.
We really hope you’ve gained some insightful information from some of our top EFB questions.
Many Low-cost airlines, business jet charter and regional airlines are all benefiting from the efficiency and cost savings that skybook brings to their operations. If you have any more questions get in touch.
