Provides Pilots With Dynamic Data Layering,
“Future” Radar Capabilities And Real-Time Display Of Av
Data
Meteorlogix has announced the
introduction of MxVision AviationSentry™ Online at NBAA 2004.
The fully featured pilot briefing system will soon be QICP
certified (Qualified Internet Communication Provider) and provides
a wide range of weather graphics and innovative flight planning
tools. This new service, which can be delivered through a high
speed Internet connection, allows pilots to receive complete
briefings, file flight plans and remain up-to-date on changing
weather conditions. Pilots can even check last minute conditions
wirelessly from the cockpit before take-off.
With MxVision AviationSentry Online, pilots are able to see all
relevant data in one location, conveniently displayed for
intelligent decision-making. The new product introduces dynamic
layering, providing a Geographical Information Systems (GIS)
patented capability. Through this delivery format, pilots may build
a base map containing important layers such as airports, navaids,
airways and more. They then have the ability to plot relevant
weather layers such as radar, sigmets and airmets on top of the
custom maps they just created. This dynamic display of information
will allow for accurate and safe flight planning, while improving
overall productivity and efficiency.
Pilots will now able to access
Future Radar on the new MxVision AviationSentry Online, a forward
loop of radar imagery which allows them to see where dangerous
storms will be up to 90 minutes into the future and make plans for
the best route.
MxVision AviationSentry Online also carries a full suite of
briefing tools including Route Brief, Airport Brief and Quick Plan
that pilots need to plan safe, efficient flights. Route Brief
allows pilots to quickly gather all route-pertinent text
information from departure to destination nationwide.
Airport Brief is a quick and easy way to access METARS, TAFS,
Notams and more for local flights. Quick Plan allows pilots to get
headings, estimated time en route and fuel burn for their trip.
“Meteorlogix is committed to offer aviation professionals
innovative, reliable tools to make flight planning fast and
accurate,” said Robert Gordon, chief executive officer, DTN.
“With the new MxVision AviationSentry Online, pilots have
virtually unlimited access to real-time radar, text and graphics in
