# Planning with SimBrief

From a dispatched flight, click **Plan with SimBrief** to open SimBrief in your browser with the route, aircraft and airports already filled in. You need a SimBrief Pilot ID linked on your CAV profile first. If you haven't set one, the button will prompt you to add it.

After generating your plan on SimBrief, come back and click **Check for my flight plan** to pull the OFP summary (weights, route, cost index, fuel) into the app.

### Your route on the map

When your latest SimBrief plan is for the flight you're tracking (same departure and arrival), the Flight Tracking map draws its route fix by fix instead of a straight great-circle line.

### Changing your plan

You can edit and regenerate your plan on SimBrief as often as you like. Click **Check for my flight plan** again to load the new version. For event flights and tour legs, keep flying the original dispatch so the event or tour leg is credited. See [Editing a SimBrief plan for an event or tour flight](https://kb.canadaairvirtual.ca/books/cavacars-2-pilot-guide/page/editing-a-simbrief-plan-for-an-event-or-tour-flight).

### Charter flights from SimBrief

Already planned a flight on SimBrief that isn't in the schedule? On the **Charter** screen, click **Import from SimBrief** to fill in the charter form from your latest plan. See [Finding and dispatching a flight](https://kb.canadaairvirtual.ca/books/cavacars-2-pilot-guide/page/finding-and-dispatching-a-flight).
