Pre-flight preparation is no longer just about reading charts. It’s about experiencing the airport environment in context—visually, spatially, and temporally. That’s why we call our EFB solution a 4D Airport Briefing platform.
While 3D visualisation helps pilots build a strong spatial understanding of the airport layout, runway configuration, and terrain, the 4th dimension is time—a non-negotiable factor in aviation. Our system dynamically integrates:
- Current METAR/TAF-based weather visualization
- Day/night lighting effects for precise runway familiarity
- Density Altitude calculations for performance awareness
- Active simulation of approach and departure tracks at specific times of day
This temporal realism means pilots don’t just see the airport—they experience what it will look and feel like at the moment of operation.
Research in aviation cognition and multimedia learning (e.g., Mayer, 2001; Endsley, 1995) shows that when information is delivered visually and contextually, it significantly improves memory retention, situational awareness, and time-critical decision making.
The result? Faster preparation. Sharper insight. Safer operations.
Airport Briefing saves valuable minutes while equipping pilots with mental models that matter.
