The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has organized a two-day training for airline operators on the use of e-flight folder, a web app that manages interactions and delivers flight folders to airlines and pilots electronically.
The Electronic Flight Folder is a comprehensive set of flight briefing applications (e.g. Flight Plan, NOTAMs, Weather, Maps, Alternate Summary, ETOPs, NOTOCs etc), which allow pilots to access their briefing package onboard the aircraft, and also from home/hotel/crew room, via a secure internet connection.
The request or submission of flight schedules, for both scheduled and non-scheduled, are done seamlessly and electronically. In an instant, the folders are available for the airlines to use. Pilot and user feedback mechanisms are also integrated.
The training which was held in Lagos on the 13th and 14th of January 2025 was aimed at introducing the e-flight folder app by NiMet to the airlines and also to receive their feedback.
The participants acknowledged NiMet for introducing the revolutionary e-flight folder app which they said will help them to better discharge their duties.
