WestJet, Canada’s low-cost airline, has successfully migrated to the Lido RouteManual navigation charts from Lufthansa Systems. With Lido RouteManual, WestJet’s pilots will benefit from the excellent quality, clear color coding and design of the true-to-scale charts, the firm believes. With the introduction of the Lido RouteManual, WestJet has migrated from so-called pilot manuals to ship manuals. This makes work significantly easier for pilots since the manuals are kept in the aircraft and pilots no longer have to carry their own manuals. The Lido RouteManual contains take-off and landing procedures, airport and en-route charts. These charts are generated directly from the Lido navigation database, which includes worldwide aeronautical information and topographical data. Lufthansa Systems has for the first time integrated RNP (Required Navigation Performance) procedures into the navigation charts for WestJet. RNP is independent of ground-based navigation aids and utilizes Global Positioning System satellites to allow aircraft to fly direct, precision approaches to airports. This in turn shortens flight time and miles flown, reducing fuel burn and emissions. The airline is the first carrier in Canada to adopt this technology.
