eRouteManual

Lufthansa Systems breaks new ground in database-aided chart generation with the Lido RouteManual, which is based on a Geographic Information System (GIS). The GIS charts differ considerably from the charts previously produced by CAD tools because they are no longer drawn manually but generated electronically from the Lido navigation database.
The Lido eRouteManual, the electronic display of the Lido RouteManual, turns the paperless cockpit into reality.

In the cockpit, pilots can thus electronically access both static (terminal) and dynamic enroute charts. Terminal charts show exactly the same area and have the same charts references as the Lido RouteManual paper chart. In contrast dynamic enroute charts are created automatically according to Flight Management System-routing (FMS) or the flight plan fixed by the Air Traffic Control. These charts display color-coded route and aircraft position information in the relevant chart section. Pilots can select the specific procedure and data to be displayed. Any route change in the FMS automatically produces an updated chart for the pilot.
