Airport Briefing is a new generation flight operations and training platform, and an ultimate situational awareness tool for any operating aviator. It enhances the ability of the crew to identify operational black holes, manage obvious and subtle threats and creates a clear mental model of the environment before getting airborne.

It’s an application that eliminates the surprises of operating TO or FROM a new airfield or a route that you have never flown before. Using this robust 3D software, you will experience a visual treat covering every facet of your next flight, empowering your airmanship and decision making by enhancing situational awareness and knowledge.

Airport Briefing (Aviator) is an inseparable part of every pilots flight bag. Simply put, "You have controls" and the freedom to unlock your creativity and make your pre-flight "ritual" fun and complete.
