Dispatch Module

The Dispatch Module is your Electronic Flight Bag (EFB). It replaces the traditional pre-flight, in-flight, and post-flight pages with a tabbed interface that stays with you throughout the flight.

Tabs

Dispatch

Overview of your charter with key flight data pulled from SimBrief (if connected): route, flight level, estimated time, fuel, and weights.

Briefing

Your dispatch narrative — a generated brief describing the trip context, client, and operational notes. Also includes:

• Passenger manifest with names, roles, and organizations
• Crew Operations — your assigned co-pilot’s name and contact number
• Contact directory — dispatcher, FBO, client rep phone numbers (tappable via jPhone)

OFP

If you have SimBrief connected via Navigraph, your Operational Flight Plan displays here as a PDF viewer. Use SimBrief to open the full briefing page in your browser, or Sync OFP to re-fetch an updated plan after making changes in SimBrief.

Weather

Live weather data for your departure and arrival airports:

• METAR/TAF cards with VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR color coding
• NEXRAD radar overlay on the map
• SIGMET/AIRMET en-route alerts
• Auto-refreshes every 5 minutes

Ground Ops

Pre-departure checklist timeline showing ground service phases. Tracks FBO service requests and their completion status. All ground services — fuel, GPU, catering, boarding, and more — are requested through the jPhone via calls, text messages, or the FBO app.

Flight Tracker

Real-time map showing your aircraft position, flown route (solid line), and remaining route (dashed line). Follow mode centers the map on your aircraft — disable it by panning or zooming manually.

ACARS

Simulated datalink messages from your dispatcher. Phase-triggered messages appear automatically during the flight (departure, cruise, arrival). ACARS events are stored and visible in your after-action report.

Financials

Pre-flight estimate of your charter economics: charter value, expected fuel costs, FBO fees, JetCard Care charges, and projected net payout based on your pilot status.

VATSIM Prefile

The VATSIM Prefile tab builds an ICAO flight plan from your charter and OFP data — callsign, aircraft type, route, cruise altitude, fuel time, and remarks. Click Open VATSIM Prefile to open the pre-filled form in your browser. Log into VATSIM and submit — no API key required.

If you have SimBrief connected, the prefile pulls route, altitude, and fuel data from your OFP. Without SimBrief, it uses the charter’s estimated values.

SimBrief Custom Profiles

If you use custom aircraft profiles in SimBrief (modified performance data, specific engine variants, simulator-specific airframes), enable Custom Aircraft Profiles in Settings. When you accept a charter, a profile picker appears before the OFP generates:

• Custom User Profiles — your saved airframes from SimBrief, shown at the top
• SimBrief Default Profiles — the full SimBrief aircraft catalog, collapsed by default
• Use Default — generates with SimBrief’s stock airframe for the charter’s ICAO type
• Search — filter profiles by name, ICAO, or registration

The selected profile’s performance data is used for the OFP generation — fuel burn, speeds, weights, and climb/descent profiles all come from your custom airframe.

Flight Numbers

Every charter gets a flight number generated at booking:

• Operator pilots — your company’s 3-letter designator + tail number digits (e.g. JAS-50JC)
• Freelance pilots — the NPC operator’s 3-letter designator + seeded number
• Ferry flights — 3LD + 9xx series

The flight number displays in the EFB header and is passed to SimBrief as your callsign.
