Leon × FliteBrief Integration – One Seamless Workflow from Schedule to Cockpit
Leon’s flight management software is the beating heart of day‑to‑day flight operations, while Jeppesen’s FliteBrief provides next‑generation digital crew briefing and flight monitoring. By linking the two systems, operators gain a single, end‑to‑end information chain that starts the moment a flight is entered in Leon and ends with a signed Journey Log automatically returned to the back office.
FliteBrief: Revolutionizing Digital Crew Briefing and Flight Monitoring
FliteBrief is a next-generation digital crew briefing and flight monitoring solution designed to centralize, automate, and streamline flight preparation processes. It provides dispatchers, pilots, and airline operations teams with a customizable platform to manage flight plans, weather data, NOTAMs, and journey logs—all in a single portal, accessible both on the ground and in the cockpit via an EFB app. For air operators, FliteBrief delivers significant gains: it shortens the briefing cycle, improves situational awareness through live flight tracking and airfield monitoring, and ensures regulatory compliance with paperless, auditable records.
From Scheduling to Post-Flight: A Unified Data Chain
The integration between Leon and FliteBrief establishes a fully automated and connected workflow that links flight scheduling, digital briefing, in-flight data capture, and post-flight reporting. Once a flight is created or updated in Leon, key operational details are instantly transferred to FliteBrief, where a comprehensive digital briefing package is generated for the crew. Throughout the flight, real-time updates, tracking information, and journey log entries are seamlessly managed and synchronized between systems. The table below outlines each step of the integration process and how information flows between Leon and FliteBrief to deliver a truly streamlined operational experience:
Step | Direction | What is exchanged | Typical frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
1. Flight is scheduled or updated in Leon | Leon → FliteBrief | Flight number, route, aircraft, crew roster, ETD/ETA, alternates, remarks | Every 30 min (API push) |
2. FliteBrief auto‑generates the digital briefing | — | OFP, weather, NOTAM watch, airport analysis, fuel & weight tables | Immediately after data import |
3. Crew reviews & signs in the EFB | Crew ↔ FliteBrief | Acceptance stamp, change requests | Real‑time / offline sync |
4. Journey Log is completed on board | FliteBrief → Leon | OOOI times, fuel, delays, MEL notes, crew comments | On landing or when connectivity returns |
Why Integrate Leon and FliteBrief? Key Operational Advantages
Integrating Leon with FliteBrief brings immediate and measurable improvements across the entire flight operation workflow. From reducing administrative workload to enhancing situational awareness, the combined solution helps operators run safer, faster, and more cost-effective missions. Here are the key benefits:
- Single source of truth – Flight data is entered once in Leon and flows automatically to FliteBrief, eliminating manual re-entry and reducing the risk of discrepancies.
- Faster, dynamic briefing cycle – Dispatch and crew receive updated briefing packages within minutes of any schedule change, ensuring decisions are always based on the latest information.
- Paperless compliance – Digital journey logs captured in FliteBrief sync back to Leon with secure timestamps, supporting IOSA, GADSS, and internal audit requirements.
- Greater situational awareness – Real-time flight tracking, airfield monitoring, and NOTAM alerts integrated into both systems keep crews and operations centers aligned at all times.
- Scalable and future-proof – Operators can start with basic data synchronization and gradually expand into advanced features like full EFB integration, device-to-device sync, and third-party application support.
- Quick and simple deployment – Integration setup is fast and straightforward through Leon’s Add-Ons panel, with no need for custom IT development or additional infrastructure.
