GABI and Ipad
Hi Guys,
I just bought a new Ipad and am disappointed that I can't get into the GABI. I tried the "Dowload HD" App, but that doesn't work either anymore. Is there a workaround for this?
Cheers

Install free app called "download lite". Go to portal via that browser, open flight plan in gabi as usual, save to file manager and then open in good reader where it will remain until you decide to delete it.

Mmm....
Thanks guys, but I already tried those apps. When I click on the menu on the FOIP, the page just keeps refreshing. It worked in the beginning, but not anymore. Somebody else told me that they have also been experiencing problems lately.

Way easier to just leave safari open on the relevant page, go gabi via the portal home page and flt support svc etc, then once there the gabi option remains open.
Just select the plan, and leave it open, way easier than having to save etc in goodreader etc, unless of course you want to make notes.

Folks
I am using 'Downloader Lite' and have no problems downloading live plans for the future, as well as 'Archive' plans, which to me are history!
If you need some help, PM your 'phone number and maybe s/number (so that I can call when you are around) and I'll get back to you.

Ipad issue
try this...I had the same problem. Your internet connection is too fast if you have the 8Gb Elife service (or faster) from Etisalat. If you have a slower connection it will work (ie through a tunnel or ghost serf). You just need to slow it down so the FOIP page doesn’t have time to reload while selecting the GABI application from the drop down menu. No problem in Hotels etc due slower service.

Has anyone had problems with Downloads HD, when you either open it, or sign on to the FOIP, it shutsdown?
This happens about 50% of the time with me.
Easier sometimes to load the FPL directly onto the Mac, then transfer it to the Ipad

Oz

If only EK could convince the 50 gazillion iThingy users that Panasonic Toughbooks and proprietary tech from the 90's was the way forward....but hey, guess you gotta protect your investment in the finest minds Bangalore has to offer...

Downloads HD
Using Downloads HD
Open the APP
Select the Browser at the bottom of the page
Enter the Groupworld address for the crew portal
Enter your staff number and passcode
At the FOIP home page, select GABI
At the GABI Homepage, select the Icon with the square and arrow-right, (just to the left of the address bar) and select ADD BOOKMARK
Select SETTINGS at the bottom of the page and CUT & PASTE the web address to the Home Page - Downloads HD is smart enough to know it ALWAYS needs to open the Crew Portal Page first for your 's' number and passCODE and will then automatically open the GABI page next for your 's' number and passWORD
After entering your details on the GABI Home Page it will open the page for flights as per the portal
Select your flight by tapping on the appropriate FLT number - it will highlight in blue
Below the address bar a new TAB will open called 'Flight Plan' - to the right of a Tab called 'Flight Opera....'
Tap on the Flight PLAN tab and get the page asking if you are retrieving for the flight crew - tap 'NO'
Then, tap the left hand TAB again and you will be back at the GABI page with the flight plan displayed or downloading.
With the OFP displayed, scroll to the bottom of the list of flights and under the heading 'Briefing Package", tap on 'Save'
A third TAB will open saying 'Downloading - ignore it!
WAIT a few seconds. A new WINDOW will soon open with 3 options, tap the middle one - 'DOWNLOAD"
The previous window disappears and another window will open called 'Add Download'.
In the text of the window is a complicated file name - just tap the blue 'Done' Icon at top right of the window - it will disappear in consequence.
A red bubble containing '1' may or may not appear on the Icon at the top of the page - a square with a DOWN arrow, (for downloading)
At the BOTTOM of the page, tap the middle Icon - "File Manager'.
At the top left of the next page tap 'My Files" and in the resulting list your flight number and date will appear, (or soon appear if it didn't finish downloading), as e.g.: EK_212_22Apr21012_IAH-DXB...
Tap on that and your entire flight plan is displayed in .pdf format and gorgeous living colour...
Works 999 times out of 1000!

APP shuts down without notice...
If the APP closes itself after a few seconds of use, delete the APP, (hold your finger on the icon until they all 'wriggle' then tap the small cross which appears But ONLY on the APP you wish to delete).
Go to the APP STORE and 're-purchase' the APP and re-install it, the APP STORE will 'know' that you already purchased the APP if you are logged in to the store with the same account you bought it with. You will NOT be charged - a message will appear to say you 'already purchased and would you like to re-install?'
Yes - you would. The previous software was corrupted if it kept closing summarily.

Gabi iPad issues
I would assume that you are talking about gabi @ Ek . If its with another airline then it may be anOther issue.
You should not have a problem with download hd and download hd lite . Even you can use safari . A lot of ppruners have provided reasons and explanations .
One could be faster download speed and the second just not selecting the right things in sequence. One of our ppruners has taken the trouble to go through all the process. If this helps you , then fine,
My use of the GABI retrievable fom IPAD has not been 100% but I do eventually get the flight plan. So it should work for you
I use download HD LITE this is the free version . I also discovered that I could download the GABI VIA safari .
Safari option
Sign onto the portal as usual . Go to Fltops services then FOS applications then GABI. Depending in your broadband speed it may take some time open the pages.
Once You get to GABI, go to archive and then select insert the flight no you want e.g ek89 would be simply entered as 89 select find . If a flight plan is in the system, it will be presented to you in a screen just below the earlier selection. Selcect the flight plan by tapping the flight no. You will be presented with A choice to save . Select save Nothing will happen . Go to the top of the screen with the open book icon . Open it and choose history . You should then see ek 89 in history . Select it and you should have the flight plan . You can then read the flight plan there or if you have goodreader then choose to open in goodreader via the icon on the top right hand corner.
For those who have trouble going to GABI ,try via Flt despatch and then choose GABI . As some one earlier has mentioned ,it may be a fast Internet speed ( odd)

Hope this helps.
