MCDU Guide
Upload your SimBrief plan — it hands back every input you need, in the order real crews enter them: DIFSRIP.
On SimBrief's dispatch page, download the OFP as XML for a perfect parse. Everything happens in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server.
Why this order?
DIFSRIP — Data, Init, F-pln, Sec f-pln, Rad nav, Init B, Perf — is how airline crews remember the MCDU setup flow. Chapter 6 of the book walks through every page with screenshots. No SimBrief yet? It's free at dispatch.simbrief.com.
