NAVBLUE, Airbus, Embry-Riddle launch N-FP and N-OC for student pilot training

Tuesday, April 16, 2024

NAVBLUE has partnered with Airbus and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University for a lasting collaboration, introducing N-Flight Planning (N-FP) and N-Ops and Crew (N-OC) solutions tailored to student training.

Aspiring dispatchers and future leaders in aviation will undergo primary training utilizing NAVBLUE software. These solutions immerse students in real-world scenarios within the “Embry-Riddle Airlines” framework, focusing on crew management and daily operations to enhance skills in Airline Operations, encompassing Maintenance Control (MTC), Air Traffic Control (ATC), and customer service.

N-FP, a flight planning solution, aids “Embry-Riddle Airlines” in optimizing fuel, time, and cost to fulfill operational requirements while prioritizing safety and compliance. Simultaneously, N-OC empowers the “airline” to handle both long-term planning and day-to-day operations through a unified, highly adaptable system within a single application.

“Embry-Riddle University in Daytona Beach, Florida, is a pioneer in aviation education, and we at Airbus and NAVBLUE are honored to contribute our N-Flight Planning and N-Ops and Crew solutions for the students’ training,” said C. Jeffrey Knittel, Chairman and CEO of Airbus Americas and an Embry-Riddle alum. “Collaborations like this between industry and academia support today’s students as they receive the training they need to lead the aviation industry into the future. Best of luck to the future Dispatchers and aviation industry leaders who will receive first-level training with these Airbus and NAVBLUE solutions!”

Marc Lemeilleur, NAVBLUE CEO, added “through this collaboration, students will be able to experience for the first time Airline Operations, from preparation and monitoring to control and management, in a safe and supervised environment created for them and tuned to their needs”. NAVBLUE’s CEO also thanked “Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University for choosing NAVBLUE solutions as the educational basis of the future flight Dispatchers.”

Dr. Alan Stolzer, Dean of the Daytona Beach College of Aviation adds, “As the leading aviation and aerospace university, this collaboration with NAVBLUE ensures that Embry-Riddle students are trained at the highest level. We are grateful to Airbus, C. Jeffrey Knittel and the entire NAVBLUE team for making this happen.”
