New Flight Explorer Professional Edition Has More Capabilities

Flight Explorer released a new version of its Professional Edition with more capabilities that make planning for weather conditions and air traffic congestion easier.

Professional Edition 6.0 has several novel proprietary interfaces that Flight Explorer says can be easily integrated with operational support systems to meet each customer's unique requirements.  These include:

• Flight Planning System Integration.  Allows user to send route-planning information between Flight Explorer and existing flight planning tools.

• ENSCO Predictive Weather.  Allows user to view predicted graphical weather scenarios from ENSCO six hours ahead.

• NASA FACET Predictive Air Traffic.  FACET (future ATM concepts evaluation tool) gives the user the ability to view anticipated traffic at an airport or airspace sector.

• Enhanced Airport Information.  Allows user to view METARs (meteorological aviation routine weather reports), TAFs (terminal aerodrome forecasts), NOTAMs (notices to airmen), PIREPs (pilot reports), FAA delays, RVR (runway visual range) and Flight Explorer's own diversion summary graphics.

• Runway Visual Range (RVR) Data.  User can determine, in real time, the visibility conditions at any airport runway where the FAA reports RVR.

• Route Check Functionality.  Gives user the ability to view routes in relation to other en route traffic and weather.

• ESRI Shape File Support.  Gives user the ability to import ESRI industry standard vector image files (or create their own) for display of geographical or company specific points (as lines or polygons) that are fully integrated with Flight Explorer.

• 20 Second Data. Gives user the ability to receive aircraft position updates every 20 seconds at 13 U.S. TRACONs (terminal radar approach control) facilities.
