Weather en route

Hazards a flight meets at its time and level

Overview

Weather en route works out which hazards a flight actually meets: thunderstorms, turbulence, icing, volcanic ash, tropical cyclones and more, evaluated at the flight's own time and level rather than as a static map. Pilot reports are returned alongside the forecasts, so an application can weigh what is predicted against what crews are already seeing.

Features

  • Hazards sampled along the route at the flight's level
  • Thunderstorm, turbulence, icing, ash and cyclone data
  • Pilot reports returned with the forecasts
  • Time-aware, so the answer matches the plan

Use cases
