Fast and easy flight documentation

Instant Briefing
You can generate a Pre-Flight Information Bulletin (PIB) for any flight immediately. Simply select a destination airport, choose the IFR/VFR flight rules and a map collection and a standard PIB with the data relevant for the flight time and flight route will be generated for you automatically.

Flight database
Create your own flight database by predefining scheduled flights and specifying the required content for the desired pre-flight information bulletins for each of the flights. The PIBs can be schedules to be generated automatically or you can generate them manually any time with a single click.

Pre-Flight Information Bulletin output and delivery

The PIB can include any specified text or image data, including:

  • METAR and TAF lists from the flight route or the specified stations
  • SIGMETs, AIRMETs and other warnings from the flight route or the specified FIRs
  • SIGWX charts, Wind and Temperature charts and any other maps valid for the flight time
  • Cross-sections for the flight route.

The PIB is produced as PDF at a scheduled time before the flight departure or on demand and it can be previewed, printed, e-mailed or sent to specified FTP destinations.

Compliance and Integration

Extend the flight-briefing functionality
Aero Weather is a module-based software that can be easily extended by a large number of tools that take aviation forecasting to a higher level. These include:

  • Editing and disseminating aviation messages including TAF, METAR, SIGMET, GAMET, Windshear Warning and Aerodrome Warning. SIGMET and AIRMET can be also created in a graphical way, by indicating the phenomenon borders on a map.
  • Editing and disseminating graphical products, such as Low-level SIGWX charts.
  • Real-time TAF Monitoring Service which compares TAF parameters with continuously received METARs and SPECIs for the desired set of airports. User is alerted if configurable TAF amendment criteria are met or severe weather phenomena occurs.
  • Long-term TAF verification that evaluates the monthly forecast performance scores of monitored parameters for all or individual forecasters.
  • Integration of additional data sources such as satellite imagery, radar imagery, lightning detection network, wind-profilers, etc. These data can be combined with the standard OPMET, NWP model and SIGWX data.
