New Flight Planning, Analysis And Safety Software
1. Runway Analysis Service
Garmin introduced the AeroData runway analysis service, which is available to pilots through its FltPlan.com flight planning service. AeroData and two other runway analysis services available from FltPlan.com—Aircraft Performance Group and Automated Systems in Aircraft Performance—help pilots maximize the performance of their aircraft while assuring compliance with runway and obstacle requirements. New capabilities AeroData provides include engine-out escape procedures factoring in obstacles and terrain; configuration of takeoff-and-landing data (TOLD) based on conditions and limitations; automatic calculation of aircraft fuel requirements based on the flight plan; and integration with the Garmin Pilot flight-planning app.

2. Flight Data Analysis Services
Textron Aviation now offers L3Harris Technologies’ web-based flight data analysis service for its Cessna Citation customers. The service initially will be available on Cessna Citation CJ4 business jets equipped with the Aircraft Recording System II (AReS II). Data will be aggregated on the aircraft, facilitating wireless transfer directly to L3Harris’ Flight Data Connect service via the onboard LinxUs fault isolation system. Aircraft that are not equipped with traditional flight data recording capabilities can now benefit from flight data analysis.
