Every tool, grouped the way you fly

The app is organised into six groups on F1 to F6, plus a companion for phones and tablets. Everything listed here is in the current build. Items marked “Conditions apply” or “Experimental” depend on your simulator version, aircraft or settings.

Flight

The flight workspace

One window organised the way a flight unfolds. Six groups, each one function key away.

  • Home dashboard

    Ground services, briefing, systems, METAR, CDU, motion and the active checklist on one screen, updated from live simulator data.

    FLIGHT · Home

  • Customisable tiles

    Choose which tiles appear, reorder them and resize them. Layouts are saved.

    Home · Customize tiles

  • Function-key navigation

    Flight, Panel, Cockpit, Plan, Ground and Experience sit on F1 to F6. The current flight phase is marked in the side rail.

    Side rail

  • Separate windows and displays

    Open any page in its own window and place it on another monitor. Overhead panels can launch directly on a chosen display.

    Page header · Separate window

  • Flight progress bar

    A slim bar floating above the simulator shows progress along your SimBrief route with ETE and ETA. Position and size are adjustable.

Cockpit

Checklists, CDU and displays

Procedures checked against live aircraft data, the FMC on any screen, and real avionics pop-outs.

  • Interactive checklist

    Phase-by-phase normal checklists. With live verification on, items are confirmed from aircraft data; anything that cannot be read stays a manual check.

Ground

Ground services and pushback

Turnaround and pushback with GSX or the simulator's own services, including a tug you can drive yourself.

  • aerOne service vehiclesConditions apply

    Where the simulator has no suitable service, aerOne can position its own vehicles such as boarding stairs and passenger buses. Results depend on the airport's mapped roads and the aircraft's service points.
