Part Of A Complete Suite From Seattle Avionics
Seattle Avionics Software, says it's added XM WX Satellite
Weather support to the entire new Voyager Flight Software System
product line. WxWorx weather will be available live over direct
satellite broadcast in the cockpit on Voyager's SmartPlan Premier
and Express versions, GlassView Moving Map/EFB program, or
SmartPlates, the intelligent instrument procedure management
program with Part 91-compliant FAA (NACO) digital approach
plates.
The company has also announced its Voyager Flight System EFB
Solution which includes a choice of Voyager Flight Software System
Tools pre-installed and tested on the Motion Computing Tablet of
your choice, bundled together with an XM WX Weather Bluetooth
Receiver and the Holux Bluetooth GPS Receiver, the ultimate
combination for affordable in-cockpit planning and enroute pilot
needs.
The new Voyager Flight Software
System includes all the tools you need in one integrated software
program; pre-flight and enroute planning, moving map, satellite
weather, charts and instrument plates. The Voyager FSS runs on any
PC, laptop or tablet computer. "Our Voyager Flight Planner
customers have been asking for both a moving map/EFB version of
Voyager and integrated in-cockpit weather for over a year now,"
said Seattle Avionics Software's President John Rutter. "We are
very excited to be announcing XM WX Satellite Weather support for
our customers/pilots across our entire line of software products.
This matches Voyager's superior flight planning and new GlassView
Moving Map navigational capabilities with the leading turnkey
weather system for aviation. The addition of XM WX Weather helps us
complete our vision of bringing a more technologically advanced and
integrated software solution to pilots which is easier to use and
more affordable."
A typical in-cockpit EFB
configuration consists of a knee-board mounted Motion Computing
LS800 or LE1600 tablet computer, a Holux Bluetooth GPS, the WX Worx
Bluetooth satellite receiver and a small moveable antenna. A
cigarette lighter adapter powers the WX Worx satellite receiver
unit, the wireless GPS uses a Lithium Ion rechargeable battery. The
receiver is fully integrated with any of the Voyager Flight
Software System Tools and delivers a continuous stream of weather
data with NEXRAD, METARs and TAFs, winds aloft and echo tops. The
pilot can easily change from Seattle Avionics Software's
internet-based weather chart overlays to XM overlays with a simple
click of the "XM" button within any of the Voyager products. The
optional monthly weather service delivered by WxWorx is $49.95.
