AVTECH proFLIGHT is a high-quality weather tool for professional flight crew. proFLIGHT uses the actual flight route and time combined with the Met Office's Global 10KM Weather model to produce a tailored weather forecast based on the most up to date information. Hazardous weather such as high-resolution turbulence, alerts such as SIGMETS, among more weather-related data is presented to the pilot both in a horizontal map view and a vertical flight-profile view. proFLIGHT also, based on your specific aircraft performance parameters, uses a patented algorithm to optimize the wind selection (winds to be used by the FMS) for climb- and descent phases. proFLIGHT can be used not only during flight but also during the planning phase. Using proFLIGHT assists the flight crew in the decision-making process to optimize the flight to become more efficient and safe.
