FlightNexus

A single flight can move through planning, cockpit tools, live session tracking, and career progression without leaving the product.

The OFP is more than a PDF. It becomes shared flight context for route display, EFB work, weather fallback, and ATC-linked operations.

OFP viewing, notes, editable checklists, calculators, and official charts all live inside the same workflow instead of feeling bolted on.

The map is not just decoration. It tracks the route, supports active-flight controls, and can restore an in-progress session after the app is minimized or reopened.

ATC Companion can work from the current FlightNexus flight, with linked operational context, readback flow, transcript, and debriefing.

Hours, rank, economy, passport history, route mastery, and alliance progress are treated as part of the same long-running pilot profile.

Nexus is the center of the experience. It brings together your pilot profile, recent flights, active-flight status, ATC Companion, and the long-term systems that make each flight persistent.

It also gives access to Nexus Alliance, Freelance, Lifestyle, Marketplace, passport, logbook, leaderboards, and built-in guides.

Preflight has two roles: import your latest SimBrief plan or open a prefilled dispatch flow to build one. Once loaded, that OFP context becomes the shared source used across the app.

It surfaces flight identity, plan summary, load sheet, route text, airport data, weather-aware helpers, and runway suggestions.

The EFB includes five modules: OFP, Notes, Checklists, Calculators, and Charts.

It is designed to keep briefing, scratchpad notes, checklists, reference math, and official airport charts in one cockpit workspace.

Map shows the route, OFP waypoints, current leg, distance to next fix, altitude, ETA, and the current session state.

It also exposes the operational controls used to start, sync, end, restore, and monitor the active flight session.

Enter your SimBrief username and FlightNexus downloads the latest plan and flight context, then stores that information locally as the operational source of truth.

• Downloads the latest plan and its flight context.
• Saves the OFP PDF locally for the EFB viewer.
• Resets ATC state when a new OFP is imported.

If you do not already have a plan, Preflight can open a prefilled SimBrief dispatch flow inside the app.

• Origin and destination search by ICAO.
• Aircraft-type selector based on SimBrief airframes.
• Prefilled SimBrief dispatch page in an integrated web view.
• Generate in SimBrief first, then import the OFP back into FlightNexus.

Once an OFP is loaded, Preflight surfaces a full summary instead of just linking out to the PDF.

• Flight identity, callsign, aircraft, timing, AIRAC, and units.
• Flight plan summary, cruise profile, route distance, winds, and release data.
• Load sheet with payload, passengers, fuel, and weight values.
• Route text plus airport cards for origin, destination, and alternate.

Preflight also helps turn that plan into something usable before the session starts.

• Current weather snapshot when live weather is available.
• Fallback to OFP METAR when live data is unavailable.
• Departure runway suggestion based on runway data and wind.
• Clear Flight Data control to reset local flight context.

The OFP module displays the PDF downloaded from SimBrief and keeps it available as part of the in-app workflow instead of treating it like a disposable attachment.

Notes is built for briefing and cockpit use, not just general text storage.

• Search by title or body content.
• Sort ascending or descending by name.
• Optional categories: General, Flight Plan, Clearance, Frequencies, and Briefing.
• Monospaced editing suited to operational scratchpad use.

Checklists can be custom-built and organized with checklist, group, procedure, and item structure.

• Create custom checklists and generate the built-in FlightNexus Jet-50 sample.
• Rename, reorder, and selectively delete groups, procedures, and items.
• Check next item, uncheck last item, check all, uncheck all, and restart procedures for a new flight.

The calculator package covers the operational quick math many sim pilots end up needing in-session.

• Top of Descent.
• Vertical Speed.
• Time / Distance / Speed.
• Weight Converter.
• Fuel Converter.
• Pressure Converter.

Charts is a dedicated EFB tool for searching and opening official airport charts without leaving FlightNexus.

• Search by ICAO, IATA, airport name, or city.
• Search requires internet, but opened charts remain available offline.
• Categories include General, Ground, Departure, Arrival, and Approach.
• Supports recent airports, caching, and pinning to protect important charts.

The Nexus home screen acts like the control center for the product.

• Pilot profile card and active-flight card when a plan is loaded.
• Recent Flights section and ATC Companion module.
• Shortcuts to passport, leaderboards, guides, and profile settings.
• Profile management with visible pilot identity, home base, restore progress, and guides.

The freelance path gives the pilot a contract-based career mode outside the airline structure.

• Unlocks after visiting at least 3 airports.
• Generates up to 6 contracts from the current airport.
• Mix of short, medium, and long-haul jobs.
• Contracts expire and only one active contract is allowed at a time.

Nexus Alliance is a full built-in virtual airline layer, not just a skin over freelance mode.

• Available departures from the current location using a dedicated route network.
• Allowed aircraft selection with license and type validation.
• Alliance hours, earnings, and internal seniority progression.
• Promotion flow and operational identity tied to alliance flights.

FlightNexus treats the pilot like a persistent character inside its world.

• Travel tools such as Jumpseat to Base, Global Network Search, Nearby Alliance Hubs, and Commercial Ticket.
• Lifestyle systems for net worth, fatigue, home versus away status, and recovery options.
• Marketplace categories for Real Estate, Vehicles, Luxury and Gear, and Licenses.
• Licenses and ratings unlock operations instead of acting like decoration.

The app keeps visual and searchable history rather than treating old flights like dead records.

• Digital passport with identity page and airport stamps.
• Newly visited airports create persistent stamp entries.
• Searchable logbook by origin, destination, aircraft, or flight number.
• Detailed logbook entries with distance, duration, registration, and payout breakdown.

Nexus also includes systems that reinforce long-term progression and self-guided learning.

• Leaderboards for experience, distance, net worth, inventory value, and licenses.
• Built-in guides such as Quick Start Guide, Captain's Manual, Career and Licensing, and Nexus Alliance Manual.
• Dedicated ATC Setup and ATC Companion Expert manuals inside the app.

• Full route line and OFP waypoints.
• Origin and destination markers.
• Aircraft position from the app's prediction engine.
• Current leg, distance to next fix, altitude, and ETA.
• Standard, Imagery, and Hybrid map styles.

Map provides the operational controls used to run the actual session.

• Start begins the current flight.
• Sync refreshes and resynchronizes the session.
• End closes the flight after arrival.
• The recommended flow is to start on takeoff and end after landing and gate arrival.

FlightNexus preserves more than a visual state while the flight is active.

• Stores active-flight flags, context, timing, and a session snapshot.
• Attempts to restore the flight after backgrounding or relaunching.
• Works around a single operational pending flight at a time.
• Resumes an already pending flight instead of duplicating it.

• Live Activity can show origin, destination, flight number, aircraft type, progress, and ETA.
• The session updates as the flight progresses and ends in an arrived state.
• Completion protections help make sure flights must actually be flown to count.

• Linked mode uses the active FlightNexus flight as authoritative context.
• Manual mode works as a standalone ATC tool when there is no OFP-backed flight.
• ATC can resynchronize with the active flight when the mode changes.

• Phraseology profiles: FAA, ICAO, UK CAP413, EUROCONTROL, and LATAM ICAO.
• Operation profiles from heavy jet to general aviation.
• Company styles plus Assisted and Pilot Controlled progression modes.
• Training modes: Normal, Serious, and Checkride.

• Generates instructions from phase and operational context.
• Validates readbacks and manages handoffs and active frequencies.
• Shows Ops Intel with ATIS, weather, relevant NOTAMs, and PIREPs.
• Includes CPDLC and ACARS templates plus altitude-change requests.
• Maintains a timestamped transcript during the session.

• Offline controller voice output with voice and push-to-talk support.
• Manual setup fields for callsign, airports, aircraft, route summary, altitude, and runway/procedure context.
• Works even when you want to use ATC without a loaded OFP.

• Debrief metrics include handoffs, readback accuracy, phase continuity, and route discipline.
• Taxi discipline, CPDLC usage, and voice-radio discipline are also measured.
• Serious and Checkride modes apply stricter evaluation.

The current free version includes one free flight per day and one free ATC session per day, with contextual limits across parts of the app.

FlightNexus Pro removes the daily flight limit, removes the daily ATC limit, and supports ongoing development of the product.
