Hey IFC 
I’ve spent the last few weeks building a tool I genuinely wish existed when I started flying on Expert. It’s called IF Co-Pilot — a Telegram bot that acts as a full Electronic Flight Bag for Infinite Flight, living right inside your Telegram app. Just send a command and get what you need.
I’m opening it up for beta today, and I’m looking for pilots who want to put it through its paces.
What It Does
1. Smart Route Dispatch
Type /dispatch and get a real, verified route from a curated database of flights — each one matched to an actual Infinite Flight livery and validated against the aircraft’s real range. Filter by departure airport, arrival, region, aircraft type, or flight duration. Every result comes with a pre-filled SimBrief link so you can generate your OFP in one tap.
/dispatch route KJFK EGLL
/dispatch out EGLL
/dispatch region Europe
/dispatch time <7
2. Never Miss the Official IF Schedule
Every morning at 8:00 AM, IF Co-Pilot automatically broadcasts the official Infinite Flight ATC schedule directly to your Telegram.
/daily - Run it any time to pull up today’s featured route, reommended airline, aircraft, and all the additional airports on the schedule. One tap locks in the featured route directly into your active session. Another tap opens it pre-filled in SimBrief.
3. Master Pre-Flight Briefing
Once you’ve locked in a route, /brief compiles everything you need before pushback — live METAR for departure and arrival, Expert Server ATC status, active ATIS, and your SimBrief OFP fuel and routing — all in one message.
4. Dynamic FMC Checklist
/checklist doesn’t just give you generic speeds. It pulls your Estimated Landing Weight directly from your SimBrief OFP and calculates your actual VREF using the square root rule — the same formula real FMC computers use. It then applies a live wind correction from the destination METAR to give you a precise VAPP. This works for every Boeing and Airbus type in the IF fleet.
5. SimBrief Integration
Link your SimBrief account once with /set_simbrief and the bot pulls your active OFP on demand — block fuel, TOW, LDW, planned route, departure and arrival runways. /generate builds a pre-filled SimBrief dispatch URL from your active flight so you never have to manually enter the route again.
6. AP+ Descent Alarm — Never Miss Your Top of Descent
This is the feature that changes how you fly long-haul on Infinite Flight. Once you reach cruise altitude, send: /cruise time e.g /cruise 6h30m.
The bot calculates your Top of Descent automatically — subtracting 35 minutes from your cruise time — and locks in a Telegram alarm. When the time comes, it sends you a push notification telling you to reconnect to Infinite Flight to complete your flight.
You also get their alarm confirmed in your local timezone — set once with /timezone and every alarm displays in your actual local time, not UTC.
If your flight time changes mid-cruise: /update 4h00m
The alarm resets instantly.

Beta Access
The bot is free to use right now. If you want to test the Pro features as well, DM me on Telegram at @annonify with your Telegram Chat ID (type /myid in the bot to get it) and I’ll grant you 14 days of Pro access.
I want to know what breaks, what’s confusing, and what’s missing. If you fly Expert regularly and would actually use something like this, you’re exactly who I built it for.
