Worldwide convective information could be a game changer
I am so happy to see the convective threat layer working again!!!
If you are flying a business jet with WiFi access across oceans, you might find this app to be a game changer. If you fly for an airline, getting things approved for use in the cockpit is a little trickier, but you might enjoy using this on your break or during preflight. You probably already use a radar overlay in one of the aviation apps to provide the longer range strategic view that the onboard radar cannot provide. The problem is that radar is limited in coverage and is not available in many areas of the world such as oceanic areas. This app provides convective information worldwide using satellite data and some sophisticated algorithms. I would advise that you click on the link in the App Store to the developers site. I would then read the links under Global Weather Hazard, especially the link to the ATCA Journal. The profile turbulence layer is also nice. It helps you to get an idea if you should climb or descend to get a better ride.
