09/06/2022	Simbrief and Volanta Integration!	Daniel Duhon
All, We are proud to announce that we have integrated Simbrief into our flight planning resources. In order to utilize the Simbrief functionality of flight planning, you will need to provide your Navigraph ID on your pilot profile. If you do not have a Navigraph ID, it is easy and free to obtain a Navigraph ID. In order to obtain this, you will need to go to https://navigraph.com/signup?user=&redirect_uri= and enter your information here. For those that have a Navigraph ID already, you can disregard this step. Once you have followed the steps for this you will need to provide your Navigraph ID to Air France/KLM Virtual Airlines. To add your Navigraph ID to your profile, go into the pilot center and click on edit profile. Then, scroll down until you see the "Email Address and External IDs" section. Enter your Navigraph ID in the "Navigraph ID" field. To utilize the Simbrief feature with Air France/KLM Virtual Airlines, you will plan a flight using the standard find a flight method. Once you have found a flight and added it to your logbook as a draft flight assignment, you will see a box that says "click here to create a simbrief dispatch package." Once you’ve clicked on that, a new tab or window will pop up and take you to the login for Simbrief, unless you’re already logged in. If you’re not logged in, you will log in with your Navigraph ID (it is free to create one) then you will be presented with a progress bar that will calculate your fuel and pax info. It will auto-generate a pax number as well. Once the loading has completed you’ll be returned to your draft flight assignment page where the route will be plotted automatically and you will have to option to download the flight plan to your sim platform, your dispatch documentation briefing to where you can download this from the draft flight assignment page. We are also happy to announce that we now support exporting your logbook to Volanta via a CSV download. You can take advantage of this feature by visiting your logbook, then using the "Export as" dropdown to select "Volanta CSV" for importing to Volanta. Then you may go to your Volanta Settings>Import/Export>Manual and select your CSV download from your logbook. We are excited to have these two new features implemented into AFVA and we hope they are useful to everyone! Best, Brian Hankey President & CEO Air France/KLM Virtual Airlines Daniel Duhon Executive Vice President Air France/KLM Virtual Airlines
