What a Dispatch Brief looks like

This is the kind of briefing you get back after uploading a briefing pack or typing in a route: the facts that affect the flight, in order, with nothing padded and no recommendations. You make the call — we just make the pack readable.

The spoken briefing

In the app this is read aloud in your chosen language and voice, so you can listen on the way to the aircraft. Here is the text it reads.

Good morning crew. Two sectors today: Dublin to Palma, then back to Dublin. Off blocks 0725, and we're looking at a wet departure.

Dublin: two four zero at twelve, gusting twenty-two, six kilometres in light rain, broken at twelve hundred, QNH one zero zero four. The runway will be wet. Ten left / twenty-eight right is closed overnight for resurfacing, but that ends at zero six zero zero, so it's back in use for us. Taxiways Alpha two through Alpha five are closed, so plan on Alpha one to the holding point for twenty-eight left, and allow an extra five minutes taxi.

Enroute: moderate turbulence is forecast between flight level one eight zero and two eight zero across Biscay, zero nine hundred to thirteen hundred. Worth an early seat-belt call and a word with the cabin before the descent brief.

Palma: CAVOK on arrival with a light easterly, temporary showers and cumulonimbus at twenty-five hundred in the middle of the validity. Twenty-four left ILS is serviceable. There's a temporary restricted area twelve miles north of the arrival, surface to flight level nine five, active zero eight hundred to fourteen hundred — expect vectoring around it.

Fuel and rescue cover are normal at Palma. That's the picture; questions to me before we start.
