Pilots And The Public Will Have Access To WSI's Weather
Information
WSI Corporation will host a number of weather briefing outlets
for travelers to EAA AirVenture 2004 in Oshkosh (WI). Enthusiasts
and pilots will be able to access WSI's information at over twelve
locations on and around Wittman Regional Airport including the
EAA's Flight Operations, Membership Tent, and the FAA's Oshkosh
Temporary Flight Service Station (FSS), as well as in the daily
AirVenture Today newspaper and through a special WSI hosted
website.
Ten WSI Pilotbrief stations will be active throughout the event.
These systems will allow event coordinators and pilots to stay
abreast of any changes in the weather. Locations include Warbird,
Vintage, Ultralight, and Homebuilt aircraft areas; the Seaplane
Base, Kermit Weeks and South Maintenance Hangars; Convention
Headquarters and the Announcers Stand. Additionally, WSI's cockpit
weather briefing solution, WSI InFlight, will be on display in the
EAA's Membership Tent.
WSI is also providing the Temporary
FSS at Oshkosh eight WSI FAA Pilotbrief Vector briefing stations
for the duration of the event. FSS specialists will utilize the WSI
systems to brief pilots flying in and out of the Whitman Regional
area. This is the 5th year that WSI has had the honor of assisting
the EAA and FAA in their mission to conduct a successful and safe
fly-in.
EAA AirVenture attendees will be able to plan their day
weather-wise, with the WSI AirVenture Forecast published in
AirVenture Today, the official newspaper of the EAA AirVenture
Oshkosh event. A three day forecast will feature daily high and low
temperatures as well as sky conditions. Readers will find the
forecast on the front page of the paper.
A free WSI aviation weather website for the region surrounding
Oshkosh leading up to and during AirVenture 2004 will also be
available. The purpose built site will offer surface prognostics,
satellite imagery and WSI's industry leading WSI NOWrad radar
summary. The site will be available through the event and for a
short time thereafter.
