Flysmart User Manual [verified] [2026]
Based on the official FlySmart with Airbus documentation, the FlySmart+ for iPad
suite is an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) system designed to digitize cockpit operations.
Below are the primary features and modules typically detailed in a FlySmart User Manual 1. Performance Calculation Modules
These modules replace legacy paper tables with real-time, OEM-certified computations based on current aircraft configuration and weather conditions. TakeOff Performance : Computes optimum takeoff weight and flexible temperature settings while accounting for runway updates and MEL/CDL items Landing Performance
: Features "Dispatch" and "In Flight" modes to calculate required landing distances, even in the event of an unscheduled failure In-Flight Performance
: Provides mission optimization by balancing fuel consumption and time across different flight phases with dynamic analytics 2. Ops Library Browser (OLB) flysmart user manual
This central documentation hub provides instant, tail-specific access to critical flight manuals. Manual Consultation : Searchable access to FCOM, MEL, and AFM documentation in XML or PDF formats. Smart Features : Includes cross-document hyperlinking
, bookmarks, and three layers of information—"need to know," "nice to know," and "expert knowledge". Aircraft Filtering : Automatically filters technical data based on specific aircraft family and registration 3. Loadsheet Application Weight & Balance : Computes the center of gravity
and relevant masses at takeoff according to the aircraft type and loading. Last Minute Changes (LMC) : Allows pilots to easily implement itinerary changes just before departure. 4. Administrative & Safety Tools FlySmart+ Manager : Synchronizes airline data and manages updates for the entire app suite. eQRH (Electronic Quick Reference Handbook) : Features dynamic checklists
and an ECAM-synchronized color scheme for emergency procedures. Risk Assessment : Includes generic risk management guides
to help airlines identify and mitigate hazards related to EFB use. specific module Based on the official FlySmart with Airbus documentation,

Chapter 7: Taxi & Airport Surface Navigation
FlySmart Airport Moving Map reduces runway incursions.
- From the Dashboard, tap "Airport Map" (appears automatically when GPS indicates you’re on an airport).
- Your aircraft is a red arrow over a detailed diagram of taxiways.
- Trace the assigned taxi route: Tap the "Draw Route" button → Click your parking spot, then click the runway threshold. FlySmart highlights taxiways in green.
- Audio Alerts: FlySmart will announce “Approaching Hold Short of Runway 27” when you are 200 feet from the hold line.
4. Building a Takeoff Report (Step-by-Step)
This section is the heart of your Flysmart user manual. Let’s build a real takeoff calculation.
🧮 4. Using Performance Tools
FlySmart integrates weight and balance calculations directly into the interface.
- Input Data: Navigate to the Performance tab. Enter the current Basic Operating Weight (BOW), Payload, and Fuel on Board.
- Calculate: Tap "Calculate." FlySmart will generate your Takeoff speeds (V1, Vr, V2), assumed temperature, and trim settings.
- Export: You can email the generated load sheet directly to your dispatcher or save it to the "Documents" folder for reference during the flight.
Chapter 3: Basic Operation – “Think & Go”
FlySmart uses neural-haptic interface technology. Simply stand on the foot pads, strap the harness across your chest, and think your desired destination. Chapter 7: Taxi & Airport Surface Navigation FlySmart
Important: Thoughts must be clear and intentional. Muttering “I wish I was on a beach” while thinking about your office will result in a confusing hover at 20 meters over a parking lot. The drone is literal-minded, like a very polite robot with no sense of irony.
Gesture Overrides:
- Raise both arms → Ascend
- Tilt head left → Turn left
- Tilt head right → Turn right
- Nod twice → Engage “Turbo Mode” (only if you signed the liability waiver)
- Shake head vigorously → EMERGENCY STOP (drone will freeze in place. You will not. Wear the harness.)
In-Flight Recalculation (Emergency)
If you need to land at a different runway or after a fuel dump:
- Slide the Mass slider to the current GW.
- Tap Recalc. The app updates Vapp in under 2 seconds.
Manual’s “Red Box” alert: If landing distance exceeds runway available by 0 feet, do not land. Go-around.
6) Fuel planning and reserves (3 minutes)
- FlySmart shows fuel for trip, contingency, alternate, and final reserve.
- Common reserve policy: trip + 10% contingency + alternate fuel + final reserve (as per your ops specs). Use the Export/Briefing to turn fuel figures into crew briefing bullet points.
3. Basic Functions
- Battery check: Single press power button – LEDs show charge level.
- Find my device: Tap “Find” in the app – device beeps.
- Travel alerts: Set in app for baggage proximity, temperature, or motion.
Contaminated Runways
For snow, slush, or standing water:
- Select the contaminant type and depth (e.g., “Slush, 3mm”).
- Flysmart will compute Minimum Control Speed (Vmc) and may require use of Max Manual Braking.
- Note: Auto-brake settings (LOW/MED/MAX) must match the manual’s landing distance factor.
