AvPlan EFB periodically downloads briefings for areas that the flight plan crosses or that are visible on the En Route map.

For example, if a flight plan is entirely within Area 20 but the map shows all of Australia, AvPlan EFB periodically downloads every visible region. Downloaded briefings also supply graphical SIGMETs, special-use airspace status, NOTAMs, TAFs and METARs throughout the app.

Select Refresh Plan to retrieve the latest briefings immediately. Otherwise, the app retrieves them every 60 minutes. See User settings to turn off automatic retrieval.

INFO

Areas 98 and 99 are always downloaded because they contain information such as SIGMETs and Head Office NOTAMs.
