Adventure Pilot has launched a dispatch-focused version of its iFly EFB aviation navigation platform aimed at FAA-approved training programmes.

Called Dispatch Mode, the software has been developed for flight dispatch and operations training courses, adapting the existing iFly EFB platform to better reflect FAA Part 65 Dispatch curriculum requirements.

Rather than automating key planning tasks, the system intentionally removes some EFB functionality so students complete calculations manually, including fuel planning, nav logs and time en route computations.

The platform also includes IFR plates, Low Enroute charts, aircraft performance profiles and a navaid and fixes database to support simulated dispatch exercises in classroom environments.

Adventure Pilot says the software has already been used within accredited aviation dispatch training environments as an electronic training tool for realistic IFR flight planning exercises.

Juanita Boyd, vice president of operations at Adventure Pilot, says: “Our goal is to provide dispatch students with the same professional-grade environment they'll encounter in the field, without removing the discipline of learning the calculations behind it. Dispatch Mode bridges the gap between classroom theory and operational practice."

Dispatch Mode is available immediately through institutional licensing agreements for aviation schools and training centres.
