SwiftAssent: The flight, dispatched from schedule to briefing

SwiftAssent builds and costs the route, selects and checks the alternates, holds the diversion and ETOPS constraints inside the search, then files the plan and releases the briefing to the crew.

  • SwiftAssent OPS

    Flight dispatch: route, alternates, diversion and ETOPS, filing and release, in one place.

    Under developmentOPS in detail

  • SwiftAssent EFB

    The signed briefing on the crew's device, verified before it is shown.

01 How it works

From your schedule to the crew's briefing

  1. 01

    One dossier per flight

    Your operations system publishes the flight; everything writes into one record.

  2. 02

    Route and alternates

    Candidates optimised, alternates chosen and checked, each diversion routed as it would be flown.

  3. 03

    Validate and file

    Every candidate checked against the route rules and, in Europe, validated with the network; the cheapest valid plan comes first.

  4. 04

    Release and watch

    A signed briefing to the crew, then the flight monitored until departure.

02 SwiftAssent OPS

What OPS does

SwiftAssent OPS weather view: departure and destination with METAR, TAF, crosswind by runway and minima, the destination below planning minima so two alternates are required, the route map and candidate plans costed on fuel, time and route charges.
Weather and minima for each airport, with the alternates they make mandatory.
SwiftAssent OPS airport monitoring: the route on the map with its ETOPS area, every airport the flight could use with its suitability over the window it would be used, and the changes watched until departure.
Every airport the flight could use, watched until departure.
Route optimiser
Candidates generated and costed on fuel, time and route charges, against your cost index.
Weather avoidance
Hazards closed for the period they are valid, and the route built around them rather than bent afterwards.
Navigation compliance
Routes checked against airspace restrictions and, in Europe, validated with the network before they are ranked.
Route charges optimisation
Overflight costs priced into the choice, not discovered later.
Suitability checks
Every airport against weather, NOTAMs, approach minima, rescue and firefighting cover, over the window it would be used.
Alternate selection
ETOPS, fuel en-route, destination and take-off alternates, from your approved list in your order of preference, each routed and costed as it would be flown.
GNSS redundancy
Destination and its alternate never both rely on a GNSS approach.
RAIM prediction
GNSS integrity predicted for the route and the approaches, over the window each would be used.
Best-runway selection
Weather, performance and your operator profile together.
NOTAM decoder
Plain text, decoded and filtered to what affects this flight.
GRF, SNOWTAM and ASHTAM
Runway condition reports and volcanic ash notices read and applied to the suitability verdict.
Mapping
The route over winds, significant weather and hazards, with every airport's verdict on it.
Filing and release
The plan filed, the briefing signed and released to the crew, and the flight watched until departure.

03 SwiftAssent EFB

What EFB does

SwiftAssent EFB weather briefing: departure and destination airports, each with METAR, TAF, crosswind by runway and the planning and in-flight minima.
Weather on the device: each airport with its runway, crosswind and minima.
SwiftAssent EFB Check a TAF: runway winds at the airport, with unserviceable approach equipment raising the landing minima.
Check a TAF: unserviceable equipment raises the minima, runway by runway.
The released briefing on the device
Operational flight plan, charts, NOTAMs, weather and crew list, complete and available without a signal.
Signature verified before display
The device confirms the briefing is genuine and current, and refuses one it cannot confirm.
Suitability on the aircraft
The dispatcher's suitability engine on board, with unserviceable equipment raising the minima runway by runway.
Check a TAF
A forecast read against the airport's minima at the gate.
Weather, NOTAMs and charts on request
Refreshed whenever there is a connection.
Acknowledgement
Which crew hold which version, and a fresh acknowledgement when a change matters.
Figures and logs back
Figures and logs entered by the crew return to the flight's record.
