What sets it apart
Pilot-initiated route delivery
RouteSync delivers route data to the FMC only when pilots request it, ensuring crews always receive the most current route.
Reliable late route delivery
RouteSync reliably delivers full FMC message sets, even when routes change close to departure and operational volumes are high.
Mixed-fleet standardization
RouteSync provides a single route delivery workflow across Boeing, Airbus, and Embraer aircraft types, eliminating fleet-specific processes and reducing reliance on company routes.
Complete FMC route delivery
RouteSync delivers full runway-to-runway FMC message sets without truncation or partial data.
Automatic ACARS data capture
RouteSync records ACARS AOC messages during route delivery, creating a complete record of what was sent and received.
Built with direct FMC access
As the aircraft manufacturer, Boeing enables reliable system-to-aircraft route delivery through direct access to FMC message sets.
Product overview
RouteSync automates preflight data entry into the FMC using data link. All flight information pilots would otherwise enter manually, including route and weather data, can be automatically loaded.
Before uplink, RouteSync validates the data to ensure accurate and reliable information is delivered to the FMC.

Automated route delivery
RouteSync transfers route data from airline planning systems directly to the aircraft using ACARS. Pilots can request the route through the FMC and load it without manually entering waypoints or route strings. Removing manual entry reduces errors and saves valuable time during predeparture preparation.

Automated wind updates
Automated wind updates help reduce fuel burn by keeping the FMC continuously supplied with the latest forecast winds — during predeparture, in flight on pilot request, and automatically before Top of Descent — enabling more accurate step climb and step descent optimization.

Planning system integration
RouteSync integrates with airline flight planning systems through standard interfaces, including email, message queues, FTP, and HTTP. Airlines can continue using their existing planning tools while automating route delivery to the aircraft.

FMC route loading
Parsed route data is delivered to the aircraft and made available through FMC commands. Pilots can request the route and load it directly into the flight management computer without reentering the flight plan.

ACARS message monitoring
RouteSync automatically monitors and records AOC data link messages exchanged between ground systems and the aircraft. This creates a complete operational record of route delivery activity.

Operational data distribution
Recorded route and ACARS message data can be shared with other operational systems to support reporting, analysis, and operational review.
System integrations
Aircraft flight management and data link systems
RouteSync interfaces directly with aircraft flight management computers and ACARS data link infrastructure to deliver route data from planning systems to the aircraft.
Dispatch systems
RouteSync receives flight data from airline dispatch systems and prepares it for reliable delivery to the aircraft.
Why airlines choose RouteSync
Reduce the cost of network delays
Removes manual FMC route entry and delivers routes to the aircraft on time.
Protect on-time performance
Standardizes route delivery to reduce variability during predeparture.
Remove failure points in high-pressure moments
Replaces manual workflows with a system-driven route delivery process.
Scale operations without scaling complexity
Provides a single route delivery workflow across aircraft types.
Reduce hidden costs of manual processes
Eliminates rework, entry errors, and ACARS messaging costs through automation.
Ensure accurate flight execution
Loads the exact route dispatch planned directly into the FMC.Frequently asked questions
What is flight plan uplink or automated route delivery in aviation?
Automated route delivery, sometimes called flight plan uplink, sends flight plan route data from airline planning systems to the aircraft flight management computer, eliminating manual entry.
How does RouteSync deliver routes to aircraft?
RouteSync uses ACARS data link communication to transfer route data from planning systems to the aircraft where pilots can request and load it into the FMC.
Does RouteSync work with airline planning systems?
Yes, RouteSync integrates with airline flight planning systems while automating route delivery to the aircraft.
What aircraft and flight plan formats does RouteSync support?
RouteSync works with any aircraft equipped for ACARS messaging, including those supporting AOC data link services. Flight plans must be made available electronically through standard interfaces such as email, message queues, FTP, or HTTP. RouteSync supports multiple data formats, including XML, PDF, and ASCII-based files that can be parsed for route and flight information.
