Trip Briefings

Live or Remote-Live briefings led by Scott IPC’s instructors, former international captains with 20–30 years of international experience. For crews flying into unfamiliar airspace, returning to a route after years away, or experienced operators who simply want the depth.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Built for three kinds of crews.

FIRST-TIME ROUTE

First-time route or airspace

Your crew is heading into airspace they haven’t operated in and you want them prepared for the specifics, not relying on generic flight planning resources.

RETURNING TO A ROUTE

Returning after time away

Your crew has flown this route before, but enough time has passed that procedures, equipment requirements, or contingencies may have shifted. A fresh walkthrough is worth the time.

SEASONED OPERATORS

Experience, plus the review

Your team has the international hours and the institutional knowledge. You still book the brief because you value the review and the preparation it provides for the specifics of a trip.

INSTRUCTORS

Briefed by the people who’ve flown these missions.

Trip Briefings are walked through by the Scott IPC instructors, experienced international captains with decades of experience flying international and oceanic operations. They’ve operated the routes your trip will fly, navigated the airspace, dealt with the weather, and managed the contingencies.

WHAT’S COVERED

Scoped to your trip. Built around your operation.

We don’t run a canned briefing. Each Trip Briefing is scoped to your specific routes, destinations, airspace, and the operational considerations relevant to your mission.

ROUTES

Routes and track systems

North Atlantic (NAT HLA), West Atlantic (WAT), Central East Pacific (CEP), North Pacific (NOPAC), and the specific routes & track systems your trip will use, including current routings, validity windows, and traffic considerations.

DESTINATIONS

Destinations and airfield specifics

Country-specific procedures, airfield idiosyncrasies, customs and ground handling, alternate airfields, all covered in detail for your specific destinations.

AIRSPACE

Airspace, equipment, and approvals

Airspace structures, ADS-B, CPDLC, ADS-C equipment requirements, RVSM compliance, and any approvals or authorizations needed for the routes you’ll fly.

WEATHER

Weather, NOTAMs, and alternates

Seasonal weather considerations, NOTAM review, alternate planning, and the regional patterns that affect oceanic and high-latitude operations.

PROCEDURES

ICAO procedures relevant to your routes

Oceanic clearances, position reporting, separation standards, communication procedures, all following current ICAO, regional, and NAT Doc guidance.

CONTINGENCIES

Diversion alternates and contingencies

Communication failure procedures, weather diversions, fuel contingencies, equipment failures, the contingencies most relevant to your specific route.

TOOLS

Brief with the tools you’ll use in-flight.

Trip Briefings can integrate the operational tools from the Scott IPC App, so the briefing maps directly to what’s in your hands during the trip.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. Scoped to your trip.

From planning conversation to in-flight reference, every Trip Briefing is structured around your specific mission, with the flexibility to extend if your crew needs more time.

01

Plan your briefing

We start with a planning session, your team meets with ours to review routes, destinations, depth, and length. Two weeks notice requested; less is considered case-by-case.

02

The briefing

Live or Remote-Live via Zoom. Customized to your trip. Working with Scott Plot® (or your preferred app), the ICRH®, and your trip package, so your crews leaves with everything they need in hand.

03

Extend if needed

Trip Briefings may run longer than expected, to give room for additional questions and deep dives, crews can extend at the published hourly rate, or wrap when you have what you need.

FORMAT

Delivered Live at your facility or Remote-Live via Zoom — same instructors, same materials, for both options.

OUTCOMES

What your crew walks away with!
