Air Dolomiti Acquires Navigation Charts

Air Dolomiti will fly with navigation charts from Lufthansa Systems. Both companies recently signed a 10-year-contract for the usage of Lido/RouteManual. The agreement also includes an option to migrate to the electronic version of the charts. With the innovative solution the regional carrier can optimize its flight operations and benefit from the high quality of the Lufthansa Systems navigation charts, Lufthansa Systems said. The navigation charts are generated directly from the Lido navigation database. They include true-to-scale geographic information such as terrain features and rivers. The charts include airport taxiway charts, approach and takeoff charts, and a seamless worldwide route chart. The value of Lido/RouteManual lies in the easy legibility and the clear structure of the individual charts. This reduces the pilots' workload in the cockpit, especially during key flight situations such as takeoff and landing. Migrating to the electronic version of the charts later will enable the carrier to move forward to a paperless cockpit.
