45. Open Flight Plan from SimBrief

This function opens a dialog window where SimBrief flight plans can be imported directly into Little Navmap. SID, STAR, the respective transitions, runway assigments as well as the cruise altitude are downloaded.

Note that approach procedures, cruise speed and fuel parameters are ignored by Little Navmap which relies on aircraft performance files for fuel and speed. See Aircraft Performance for more information.

See Export Flight Plan to SimBrief for information on how to export a flight plan from Little Navmap to SimBrief.
