SkewTLogPro vs MMOPA

SkewTLogPro gives you one-touch access to powerful skew-t log-p charts. View charts using your current GPS location, airport ID code or lat/lon. Each skew-t log-p chart provides a visual indication of temperature, dew point, winds aloft, and wind speed at various altitudes, as well as Current Radar, Airmets, Sigmets, and SkewT data charted, filtered by altitude. FEATURES: • NEW! View all Sigmet/Airmet on a map and filter by altitude • NEW! View SkewT data charted on a map with altitude filtering, shows potential warnings of Icing, Wind, and Visibility • Ability to view the lifted parcel line • Support for International Airport ICAO codes • View charts along your route using 'View Route' • Support for GFS for all locations outside the continental United States (Option in Settings) • View many values such as CAPE, LI, LCL, and many other options through settings • Save charts for offline use • View Skew T Log soundings by touching a location on a map • View skew-t log(p) charts using your current GPS location, airport identifier or latitude and longitude. • Scroll forward and backward to view past and forecast charts. • History list allows easy access to previously viewed locations. • Select how many previous and forecast hours are charted • Drag on the graph to view each point value • Double-tap to zoom in for more detail on the soundings. • Great for aviators, glider pilots and weather enthusiasts. An annual subscription is required to access these graphs and to use SkewTLogPro for $12.99 per year. Cancel anytime.

The MMOPA Flight Risk Assessment Tool (FRAT) is a tool developed by the Malibu/Mirage Owners and Pilots Association to aid the PA46 pilot community in assessing flight risks unique to the PA46 (Malibu, Matrix Mirage/M350, JetPROP, Meridian/M500, and M600 aircraft). The pilot fills out a questionnaire about their upcoming flight and the MMOPA FRAT provides a score and one of three possible ranges: Green: Lower risk. The pilot/crew should still discuss what the highest scoring risks are and attempt to mitigate those risks. Yellow: Caution. Try to mitigate some of the higher scoring items to reduce risk. If the score is still yellow, the FAA recommends the pilot bring in the opinion of a designated safety person (such as a CFI) to help think of ways to further mitigate risks or cancel the flight. Red: No-go. Unless the risks can be mitigated, the flight is cancelled. The FAA says this about FRAT’s: When implementing a Safety Management System (SMS), one of the most critical components to develop is a Flight Risk Assessment Tool (FRAT). Because every flight has some level of risk, it is critical that pilots are able to differentiate, in advance, between a low risk flight and a high-risk flight, and then establish a review process and develop risk mitigation strategies. A Flight Risk Analysis Tool enables proactive hazard identification, is easy to use, and can visually depict risk. It is an invaluable tool in helping pilots make better go/no-go decisions and should be a part of every flight. The Malibu/Mirage Owners & Pilots Association (MMOPA) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the interests and safety of owners and pilots worldwide who fly PA-46 derivative (Malibu, Matrix Mirage/M350, JetPROP, Meridian/M500, and M600 aircraft). MMOPA was founded in 1988, and now serves over 900 members. Membership is available to any registered or prospective owner and/or operator of qualified aircraft or any qualifying individual or organization involved with or providing a service for the PA-46 family of aircraft. MMOPA is not affiliated with the New Piper aircraft company of any other manufacturer/vendor.
