Free Service Now Available To Pilots Using WSI Weather
Briefing Systems
WSI has released an
integrated FAA Flight Plan Submission capability from within the
WSI Pilotbrief Pro product line. Using a WSI system, pilots will
now be able to plot a flight route, evaluate the impact of weather
on their flight and, with one click, file their flight plan for
approval with the FAA. All current WSI Pilotbrief Pro and Pro
Online customers have access to this functionality today through
the WSI seamless upgrade system as a no- cost upgrade.
"With the addition of flight plan submission, pilots can quickly
turn a route briefing into a filed flight plan -- a great
convenience and time saver," stated Arlo Gambell, WSI Director of
Aviation Services. Pilots using the My Briefing(TM) interactive
route-briefing map on WSI Pilotbrief Pro and WSI Pilotbrief Online
can turn their standard pre-flight weather briefings into a
pre-populated FAA Flight Plan form.
Route information from
the briefing is combined with pilots' stored WSI ProLink profile
information in order to minimize time and effort needed. After
completing the form, pilots review and submit each flight plan
directly from a special form within the system.
The introduction of the flight plan submission service is the
latest step in WSI's vision for aviation briefing services known as
WSI ProLink.
"WSI is building a seamless weather briefing experience across
all platforms," explains Lynne Wilson, Executive Vice President of
WSI's Aviation Business Group. "In doing so we remain responsive to
our customers as they assist us in creating tools that simplify and
enhance operational procedures." With an active WSI ProLink
account, pilots can quickly access route specific briefings
throughout their day -- whether at home, the hotel or airport to
airport. "WSI is committed to increasing the value it delivers to
the Aviation Industry through our enhanced products and services,"
Wilson summarized.
