Lufthansa Systems (LHS) is here introducing the electronic flight folder (EFF), a new feature in its Lido eFlightBag that allows crewmembers to download last-minute flight briefing documents as simply as airport charts.
The EFF incorporates briefing documents in digital format–flight plan, Notams, weather data, fuel load figures, etc. Pilots can either download the documents from a briefing station to a laptop or a USB stick, or access them via a special Web interface. They can mark and comment on the documents as usual. If a crewmember marks a spot on his virtual chart, it is immediately visible to his colleague. According to its promoters, the system makes briefings easier and saves paper.
