*Please note – this webinar is open to Airlines and Aircraft Operators only*

Register to view this On-Demand Webinar (recorded 22nd January 2026), to see the latest advances in real-time in-flight optimization via a demo of Loretta from Flightkeys, the EFB flight deck assistance App which empowers pilots to make better-informed tactical decisions during flight. As you will see, Loretta integrates cutting-edge cost and flight path optimization features along with contrail and turbulence avoidance technology directly into the flight deck providing pilots with the transparency and context needed to reduce fuel consumption, manage delays and payload changes, lower emissions, and improve overall cost efficiency – all without the need to regenerate a new flight plan or rely on connectivity. During the Webinar, the Flightkeys team will walk you through a typical flight from a pilot’s perspective, showing how Loretta supports flight execution from pre-flight to climb, cruise, descent and post-flight analysis. Advanced features you will see include Loretta’s Sweet Spot diagram which clearly shows pilots the optimal combination of flight level and Mach number, with cost penalties clearly highlighted when operating outside the optimal envelope.

You will see how Loretta continuously recalculates the most efficient speeds and altitudes based on actual aircraft weight, fuel burn, winds and atmospheric conditions, allowing pilots to optimize climb speeds, step climbs and cruise profiles in real-time; you will also see how pilots can assess the feasibility of ATC shortcuts; and how Loretta can react to delays, ATC constraints and payload changes, instantly recomputing fuel burn and arrival times without regenerating an OFP.

Next you will see Loretta’s advanced sustainability and safety features including contrail avoidance, turbulence visualization, and the ability to recalculate flight paths to balance fuel burn, arrival time, and overall climate impact. The Flightkeys team will also discuss the limitations and challenges pilots face when using traditional flight plans; and finally, show the business case with an analysis of flights operated with and without Loretta showing measurable improvements in fuel efficiency, operational predictability, and decision-making transparency, while giving back control to the pilots.

The Webinar is divided into the following four key sections:

The limitations Pilots face using an Operational Flight Plan and an Operational Overview of Loretta

First the Flightkeys team will outline the limitations pilots face when using an OFP. Pilots receive an OFP, a document with step-by-step instructions: speeds, altitudes, waypoints. What they don’t receive is the context behind those numbers. Plans rarely survive the flight unchanged. Payloads change. Delays happen. ATC intervenes. The ‘optimal’ flight level suddenly isn’t available or isn’t realistic. In those moments, pilots are expected to make tactical decisions on the spot, often with nothing more than the original OFP and limited onboard tools. The result? Critical decisions based on partial information and educated guesswork.

As you will see, this is where Loretta comes in. The team will provide an initial high-level overview demo of Loretta showing how it brings transparency, context, and real-time optimization into the cockpit and how pilots can make better-informed decisions when the plan meets reality.

You will see how flights are automatically downloaded into the Loretta App or integrated into an EFB and made available fully offline; you will also see an intro to Loretta’s signature ‘Sweet Spot’ visualization showing the optimal speed and altitude combination for the current aircraft weight and conditions, plus cost penalties clearly highlighted; how pilots can change parameters in real-time, and instantly recompute the flight path offline, without regenerating a new flight plan.
Loretta Demo 1: Typical Flight from Pilot’s Perspective

Next, the Flightkeys experts will walk you through a realistic operational flight and how:
- The flight is downloaded and opened on the EFB
- Load sheet, take-off fuel, and centre-of-gravity data are keyed in
- The flight profile is adjusted interactively, updating the Sweet Spot chart in real time
- Pilots compare live flight data with previewed scenarios during execution
  
  You will see:
- Optimal climb speed calculations presented as an operationally usable range
- Real-time fuel burn and Scheduled Time of Arrival (STA) recalculations
- Delay simulations and immediate re-optimization
- Cost Index comparisons between OFP assumptions, on-time scenarios and minimum flight time strategies
  
  The demo will also show how pilots can assess the feasibility of ATC shortcuts using clear visual cues across waypoints – including the impact on fuel burn, arrival time and overflight charges.
Loretta Demo 2: Contrail and Turbulence area awareness and avoidance

Next you will see Loretta’s advanced sustainability and safety features including contrail avoidance, turbulence visualization, and the ability to recalculate flight paths to balance fuel burn, arrival time, and overall climate impact.

You will see:
- Contrail risk assessment along the planned flight path
- CO₂ emissions calculations based on actual fuel burn
- Evaluation of the global warming impact of condensation trails
- Recalculation of flight paths to reduce contrail formation, with transparent trade-offs between fuel, time and emissions
- Turbulence visualization and optimization to minimise passenger discomfort
Loretta Statistics and Business Case

Finally, the webinar addresses the needs of operational and financial decision makers. This section will demonstrate how Loretta enables measurable improvements in fuel efficiency, operational predictability and decision-making transparency – while giving control back to the pilot.

You will see:
- How Loretta measures efficiency improvements scientifically
- How results are derived, validated and benchmarked
- Real-world comparisons of flights operated with and without Loretta
- Actual trip fuel compared against theoretical optimum performance
- Fleet-level results across aircraft types

The clear air turbulence, and hazardous weather such as thunderstorms is clearly shown both in the horizontal and the vertical view.

– Climb-Out and Cruise:
AVTECH kicks in once the aircraft is rolling down the runway. The aircraft performance is now set so that the system now simulates the flight in advanced ground computers which optimize all phases of flight in real-time calculating the most cost effective, and safe flight plan.

In the climb-out phase AVTECH sends the optimum in-flight step/descent and speeds, via the cockpit printer, for the greatest efficiency gains in cruise, based on the airline’s selected cost index, actual aircraft performance data, and the real-time weather and atmospheric conditions. You will also see how AVTECH assists pilots to avoid turbulence actively monitoring hazards along the route and sending alerts via the printer.

– Descent:
Next for descent you will see how advanced wind data uplinks are automatically sent to the FMC minimizing wind error and an optimum top of descent point can be calculated.

– Post-Flight:
Finally, you will see the powerful post-flight dashboard which provides detailed analytics for each flight showing detailed fuel and CO2 savings.
SAS Scandinavian Airlines Case Study, Service Deployment, Business Case & ROI:
The AVTECH team will then run through a case study showcasing SAS, who implemented the flight level optimization and hazardous weather alerts features in 2024. As you will see more than 2% of fuel savings was achieved with approximately 10,000 flights.

You will learn how easily the services can be deployed and the different options to suite each airline (ACARS, IP, MCDU, Cockpit Printer, Pilot’s EFB); plus, a business case outline showcasing how AVTECH increases airline profitability from day one, and provides a return on investment within 15 days.
