System and method for providing pre-flight briefing information to a user device

A system that provides pre-flight briefing information to a remote user device, the system comprising:

• a user device interface configured to receive, from the remote user device, a customized pre-flight briefing request that includes a user-specified presentation format, a user-specified language, and a user-specified geographic region;
• a data source interface configured to communicate with at least one source of pre-flight briefing data to obtain pre-flight briefing data in accordance with the customized pre-flight briefing request;
• and
• a processor coupled to the user device interface and to the data source interface, the processor configured to generate at least one presentation file from the pre-flight briefing data, in a manner that is influenced by the user-specified presentation format, the user-specified language, and the user-specified geographic region;
• wherein the pre-flight briefing data comprises:
• flight plan data equal time point (ETP) data extended range twin engine operational performance standards (ETOPS) data alternate route data weather data weather charts;
• graphical weather information;
• airport location data airport layout data navigational aid (NAVAID) data aircraft weight data aircraft balance data runway analysis data notice to airmen (NOTAM) data drift down data ozone compliance data temporary flight restriction (TFR) data and receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) prediction data.
