SayIntentions.AI Brings Navigraph Chart Integration to Its AI Copilot at FlightSimExpo 2026
New chart features allow pilots to auto-load charts, request charts by voice and ask their AI copilot questions about FAA charts.
SAINT PAUL, Minn., June 12, 2026 - SayIntentions.AI announced a major new Navigraph integration at FlightSimExpo 2026, bringing smarter chart handling to its AI copilot system for flight simulation.
The new integration connects SayIntentions.AI’s AI copilot with Navigraph Charts on both desktop and mobile, helping pilots manage charts during key phases of flight without breaking focus during high-workload moments.
“One of the things we kept asking ourselves was how we could make the copilot more useful in the actual flow of a flight,” said Brian, CEO of SayIntentions.AI. “In real-world operations, copilots help manage charts, procedures and workload. We wanted to bring that same kind of utility into the simulator.”
The integration introduces three major chart capabilities.
First, SayIntentions.AI can automatically load the relevant chart based on the current phase of flight. When a pilot receives takeoff clearance, the appropriate departure chart or SID can appear automatically. After landing, once the wheels touch down, the airport taxi diagram can load automatically.
“Because SayIntentions.AI understands what is happening in the flight, we can time the chart changes around real events,” Brian said. “We know when takeoff clearance has been issued. We know when the aircraft lands. We know when descent clearance happens. That lets us bring up the chart when it actually matters.”
Second, pilots can ask their AI copilot to open charts using plain English. Instead of memorizing rigid commands, pilots can say things like, “Pull up the approach plate,” and the copilot can use the flight context, including the assigned approach, to open the correct chart. Pilots can also request charts outside the active flight plan, such as a specific runway approach at another airport.
Third, SayIntentions.AI introduced experimental visual AI analysis for FAA charts. This allows the copilot to answer certain questions by interpreting the chart itself, including information that may not exist in a traditional database. Pilots may ask about items such as missed approach procedures or decision altitude, and the copilot can analyze the chart to help respond.
SayIntentions.AI emphasized that the visual chart analysis feature is currently experimental and limited to FAA charts, with broader chart support planned over time.
“There is information on charts that is visual by nature,” Brian said. “A human normally has to look at it, understand it and interpret what it means. We are starting to give the AI copilot that same ability.”
The Navigraph integration follows several recent SayIntentions.AI releases focused on making the simulator experience more connected, intelligent and immersive.
“We knew we had something special when people on the team started saying they didn’t want to fly without it anymore,” Brian said. “Once you use it, it feels like something that should have always been there.”
