New pre-flight planning system improves on-time performance and
passenger comfort
WSI has been briefing
NBAA attendees about their introduction of WSI Pilotbrief Pro, an
enhanced version of its award-winning WSI
Pilotbrief service. WSI Pilotbrief Pro enables professional pilots
to make the best pre-flight decisions in the shortest time
possible, thereby improving on time performance, passenger comfort
and the safety of operations.
WSI Pilotbrief Pro combines weather, airspace and navigation
information into one integrated graphic workspace. With this new
route-centric briefing system, pilots and dispatchers can quickly
evaluate multiple routing options for any city pair. A friendly
user interface allows pilots to customize the information display
and to navigate geographically with ease. WSI Pilotbrief Pro saves
time by quickly printing a tailored, graphic-rich route briefing
with the same information a pilot would receive from a FAA Flight
Service Station briefing.
WSI Pilotbrief Pro features a new 1 km resolution, 5-minute WSI
NOWrad radar mosaic. This WSI quality-controlled mosaic of all U.S.
NEXRAD sites is the most accurate and detailed weather radar
information available, and is only accessible through the WSI
Pilotbrief Pro system. WSI NOWrad ensures the accurate depiction of
areas of precipitation, and passes through a rigorous multi-step
quality control processes that is managed around the clock by a
team of WSI professional meteorologists.
