GrandSky, TruWeather And MeteoMatics Push For UAV Weather In North Dakota

GrandSky is a party to two multi-year contracts aimed at developing a weather collection and forecasting system for Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) operations. As is the case with most outdoor activities, weather represents one of the greatest risks, and it is more pronounced with small UAS that are no match for the harshness of nature. For UAS’, the risk is even greater for operations Beyond Visual Line Of Sight (BVLOS). With TruWeather Solutions, GrandSky hopes to capitalize on their expertise in translating real-time and predictive micro-weather, and subsequently contributing to the forecasting service to operationalize

When cleared to “fly or maintain runway heading,” pilots are expected to fly or maintain the heading that corresponds with the extended centerline of the departure runway. Drift correction shall not be applied; e.g., Runway 4, actual magnetic heading of the runway centerline 044, fly 044.

"This quarter's report is unique in the fact that year-over-year forward-fit sales jumped 34.6%, which coincides with increased airplane deliveries, and we simultaneously saw year-over-year retrofit sales decline 8.3%. Clearly, growing inflationary pressures and supply chain constraints are ongoing concerns, but to what extent they will impact sales numbers in these two markets this year is uncertain."
