About

Parses a SimBrief Operational Flight Plan (OFP) XML export and displays a formatted pre-departure brief. Shows route, SID/STAR, fuel breakdown, weight limits, departure and arrival weather (METAR/TAF), alternate airport, navlog with waypoints, and V-speeds/TLR section.

How to Use

1Generate your OFP in SimBrief as normal, then go to Download and select XML format.
2Drag the downloaded XML file onto the drop zone, or click to browse for it.
3The brief loads instantly - no data is sent to any server. All parsing happens in your browser.
4Review each section: flight header, departure weather, arrival weather, fuel, weights, navlog.
5Click the TAF, ATIS, and NOTAMs toggles to expand additional information per airport.

Tips

//Fuel figures shown match the SimBrief OFP exactly - ramp fuel, trip fuel, contingency, alternate, and reserve are all extracted from the XML.
//Weight percentages turning red means the planned weight exceeds the aircraft's max - worth checking your payload and fuel load in SimBrief.
//The navlog table includes TOC (top of climb) and TOD (top of descent) markers highlighted in the waypoint column.
//METARs in the OFP are fetched by SimBrief at plan generation time - they reflect the weather at that moment, not the current weather.
//The TLR / V-speeds section contains the takeoff and landing data calculated by SimBrief for your specific weight and conditions.

FAQ

Where do I export the SimBrief XML?: After generating your OFP in SimBrief, scroll to the Downloads section and click the XML button. Save the file, then upload it here. The file is usually named something like OFP_KJFK_EGLL_XXXX.xml.
Is my flight plan data sent anywhere?: No. The XML file is read and parsed entirely in your browser using the browser's built-in DOMParser. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
Why does the route map not show?: The interactive map requires Leaflet to load. If you are on a slow connection the map may take a moment to initialise. It only appears when the navlog contains at least one fix with valid coordinates.
