UASC FlightPartner vs AviCalc Usage & Stats

The UA FLIGHTPARTNER™ App is designed for UA’s Connected Avionics Ecosystem supporting weather-driven smart flight planning, two-way flight plan, fuel and performance data exchange with UA SBAS FMS. Enabled by UA’s SSDTU+ connectivity gateway, the App operates in tandem with the FMS, significantly enhancing pilot workflow, mission preparedness on the ground and in-flight. Key features include: • Connected FMS support with two-way exchange in all phases of flight. • Support for 3rd party flight plan data transfer to FMS • Support for 3rd party App performance data transfer to FMS with FlightPerf. . Weather-based Smart Flight Planning including worldwide winds and temps aloft data input to FMS • GNSS based Flight plan following and own ship representation during all phases of flight • Charting support with VFR sectional maps, IFR low/ high charts, and geo-referenced approach plates, airport information • Seamless, automated delivery of navigation databases updates to FMS SMART FLIGHT PLANNING EDITOR The Smart Flight Planning (SFP) tool enables an intuitive flight plan preparation process based on current airport weather, winds and temps aloft. It provides support for selection of departure, arrival and approach procedures in complete synchronization with the FMS. SFP integrates terrain, icing in route, METAR and other airport specific conditions such as visibility and crosswind reports for the intended takeoff and landing runway. File, amend and close VFR flight plans globally and IFR flight plans in the US. INTERACTIVE MAPS, WEATHER INFORMATION LAYERING UA FLIGHTPARTNER supports a comprehensive moving map capabilities integrating FMS flight context and aircraft position. Choice of VFR sectional maps, IFR low/high charts, or vector maps can be combined with advisory, navigation and weather-related layers of information that can be organized uniquely to individual flight and operator preferences. Vector maps and SFP are supported by the same nav database as used for the UA WAAS FMS. Weather information can be layered on the maps in various configurations depending on the aircraft mission including worldwide METARs, AIRMETs and SIGMETs, TFRs, and PIREPS. Additional weather data supported by the app include base radar, composite radar (worldwide), and future radar simulations three days out. Visible color-coded infrared, enhanced infrared, and water vapor satellite imagery. TAF Discussions, GFS and NAM MOS forecasts by airport are also available over continental US. WEATHER VERTICAL PROFILE A key feature of UA FLIGHTPARTNER is its weather modeling products including Radar Forecast and Vertical Weather Profile. The Vertical Weather Profile previews your route in the vertical slice from departure to destination, so you can see the conditions you’ll encounter based on your departure time, aircraft speed, and each intermediate nearby airport. AIRPORT DATA, APPROACH PLATES UA FLIGHTPARTNER is designed to provide airport specific data including weather, frequencies, runways, procedures, and services including via shortcut in the flight planning process. Geo-referenced approach plates are available which can be overlayed on the map. AIRCRAFT DATA MANAGEMENT The App also ensures the reliable and seamless delivery of FMS navigation databases for Universal Avionics subscribers. Every flight, it collects comprehensive flight data from the FMS and UA InSight FlightDeck sharing it with the UA FLIGHTREVIEW App. Working in tandem with UA FLIGHTREVIEW™, the App ensures seamless and secure navigation databases updates to the tablet and on-board FMS by automatically connecting to Universal Avionics UniNet™ Data Center. PERFORMANCE OPTION UA FLIGHTPARTNER Version 5.26 introduces take off, landing performance as well as fuel and weight data entry to the UA’s SBAS FMS. With the FlightPerf App option, pilots can enter manually or share from 3rd party applications V-speeds, take off weight and other key performance parameters to the FMS.
