Wie lange arbeitest Du schon für Lufthansa Systems? Ich bin jetzt seit sechs Monaten bei Lufthansa Systems. Nach meinem Abschluss „Master of Arts in Design“ an der Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaft und Kunst (HAWK) in Hildesheim, habe ich mich entschieden, als Kommunikationsdesigner in Nikosia auf Zypern zu arbeiten.

Takeoff and landing are two of the most crucial phases of a mission. To ensure that pilots can focus on the task at hand, whether it be taxiing at the airport or preparing for takeoff and landing, we have integrated several new features into our iOS-based charting application, the Lido/mPilot. Read on to find out more.

Aside from ensuring that they get to the airport on time and grabbing a coffee to go, pilots must complete many tasks when preparing for their flights. One of these crucial tasks is to set up the flight folder in their charting application, to ensure that all required charts are available with the single tap of a button - from the Airport Moving Map, to the Standard Instrument Departure Chart and Instrument Approach Chart. If the aircraft type and charts are specified in the ARINC 633 flight plan, the charts will be loaded automatically. But what happens when this is not the case? Read on to find out...

Weather affects the aviation industry more so than almost any other transport industry. And as significant weather events increase in frequency and severity, pilots will require more support in making timely tactical decisions. Read on to find out how Lido can support your airline and pilots to overcome this challenge now and in the future.

Digitalization is changing the entire airline industry - both on the ground and in the air. Pilots are increasingly using mobile devices throughout their flight operations. The Lido/mBriefing is our new iOS-based mobile application that helps airlines adopt a paperless briefing process and was developed by our navigation and flight-planning experts, in collaboration with our in-house designers and airline pilots from around the world.

From the 13th to 15th of November, over 300 aviation professionals headed to London Heathrow for the EFB Users Forum. Among the delegates was our Product Owner for Lido/eRouteManual, Andreas Medlhammer. Read on for his summary and key insights from the event.

Automatic Pre-Selection of Charts in Lido/eRouteManual 4.8 The release of Lido/eRouteManual 4.8 provides the users with another way to optimize the flight-preparation workflow. 

The Data Distribution System’s (DDS) main responsibility is providing Lido/mPilot and Lido/eRouteManual with data and navigation charts. However, once the data is on the device, administrators need a way to keep track of the device's status. This is where the updated Device Report comes into play.

During the last weeks, our latest product took the second and most important step towards being developed. Lido mBriefing will be a native crew briefing app for tablets combining offline capability, updates via onboard connectivity and Navlog functionality for post-flight analysis. It had first been presented as a prototype to existing Lido Flight customers at the Lido User Group Forum in Frankfurt, Germany, in November 2016. After further market analysis and careful consideration of customer feedback, the Lufthansa Systems board has now approved the development of the application.

I am an editor of the text information part of the Lido RouteManual. Additionally to the charting information, the Lido RouteManual contains a text part with rules and regulations to be observed by flight crews. They comprise extracts from ICAO Standards and Practices, EASA- and FAA Regulations as well as publications of some 190 countries. The topics range from ATC Procedures, Communications, Navigation, Aerodrome Information to Meteorology, just to name a few.
