World Wide Web Pilot Briefing
In the mid-90s the European Commission completed a study of an integrated and standardized electronic flight planning and briefing system to be used at airfields and for home briefing activities throughout the European Union.
At the same time Airservices Australia, the Australian air navigation service provider, began the implementation of a home briefing system via the World Wide Web using their National Aeronautical Information Processing System (NAIPS). This service provides full flight planning and briefing services for pilots in Australia and the pacific regions.
