Flight Bag Pro Changes

The Honeywell Forge Team is excited to announce several improvements and changes to the Flight Bag Pro app. This first change will affect some users who only use the app intermittently. Currently, users can log in and maintain their log in status until the service is interrupted or they log out manually. With the latest security enhancement, if a user is “inactive” for more than seven days, the system will log them off and they will need to re-authenticate their credentials the next time they log in. Figure 1 shows the blank Login screen that some users may see when opening the app. Simply tap the blue Login button to get started.

The Honeywell/Forge Login screen is then displayed where users enter their Honeywell credentials. This change is important to note because previously users signed in to the app using their Honeywell ID. The new enhancements require users to log in using their email address, as shown in Figure 2.

If a user cannot remember their credentials, they can tap the Manage my account button, which takes them to the Profile Management tool shown in Figure 3.

Users can also tap the I need an ID link (Figure 2) to create an ID, if necessary, which also opens the Profile Management tool. Simply follow the prompts to create a Honeywell ID, then tap Register.

If a user forgets their password, they can tap the blue Forgot Password? link (Figure 2), then follow the prompts to reset it, as shown in Figure 4. Here, users will need to remember their Honeywell ID before being able to reset.

These enhancements will not affect users who are active in the system every day or who log in more than once in seven days. Users will receive an email notification, banner announcement on MyGDC, or a notification when they log into the Flight Bag Pro app. Users who have any questions or concerns regarding this change may call Flight Sentinel for assistance.

After successfully logging in, users may be greeted by a pop-up confirming their activation. A blue tutorial discussing some of the features of the system may be overlaying the usual Start page. Tapping the OK button shown in Figure 5 closes the pop up. Users can also tap the blue Dismiss Tutorial button if they do not wish to view it.

Tapping the Okay, Got It button shown in Figure 6 continues the tutorial. Users can also dismiss the tutorial at any time by tapping Dismiss Tutorial. The app then reverts to the usual Flight schedule start page.

Swift Broadband and JetConnex

In addition, Flight Bag Pro has created an improvement for users who use Swift Broadband and/or JetConnex. These users can now view their coverage in the app. Simply tap the Overlays icon, tap Coverages, then select the desired coverage, shown in Figure 7.

Position Reports and Flight Plan Routing

Users will now be able to view their position reports and plot their flight plan routing using additional links and options located under the Go FLY menu option, as shown in Figure 8. Users will also be able to store their position reports in the Trip Kit and replay their Flight Plan Route.
