1. Link your SimBrief account (once)
Create a free account on simbrief.com (by Navigraph). In SimBrief, open Account Settings and copy your Pilot ID (a number). Paste it in Profile & SimBrief, where you can also choose kilograms or pounds.
2. Generate the plan from your booking
Book a flight in Schedules, open it in your bookings and click Plan on SimBrief. SimBrief opens with the airline, flight number, airports, aircraft type, registration and weight unit already filled in. Adjust what you like (route, cruise level, payload), then generate the OFP.
3. Import it into the booking
Back on the booking, click Import my latest OFP. The key figures (route, cruise level, fuel, weights, block time) are saved with the booking, and the ACARS shows that the plan is ready.
4. Load it in the aircraft
Most aircraft and flight management systems can load the SimBrief plan directly (look for a SimBrief or “INIT REQUEST” option), or you can type the route from the OFP.
Why it matters
A flight without an imported plan loses 0.5 point in Fuel and planning, and landing with less fuel than the plan's final reserve loses 1 point. See How flights are scored.
