Sandel to add WSI aviation weather capability to products
Yet another surprise
popped up as AOPA Expo 2003 came to close. WSI Corp. and
Sandel Avionics, Inc. have announced their collective
intenctions to integrate WSI InFlight with Sandel's line of
situational awareness displays. The FAA-certified WSI InFlight
aviation weather system will improve safety by delivering WSI
NOWrad� radar mosaic weather imagery and other mission
critical aviation weather information on the Sandel display.
"WSI InFlight will significantly increase the operational and
safety benefits delivered by Sandel's products. As Sandel moves
forward, we will be able to bring together functions such as HSI,
RMI, TAWS, and navigation maps with data-link weather graphics onto
a single unit," said Gerry Block, President of Sandel. "One of
Sandel's board members has been flying with WSI InFlight and finds
it to be a superb situational awareness system," continued
Block.
"WSI is pleased to be
selected by Sandel as its cockpit weather system and to be
associated with another market leading avionics display
manufacturer. Sandel provides general aviation, corporate and
regional airline customers with fantastic solutions that affordably
improve the safety and utility of flight operations," said Lynne
Wilson, Executive Vice President of WSI's Aviation and Marine
Business Group.
The WSI InFlight system uses satellite technology to
continuously broadcast the accurate, up-to-date weather and related
mission critical information to any aircraft equipped with WSI's
special purpose antenna and receiver. WSI InFlight
delivers high quality radar mosaic, WSI's NOWrad�,
depicting areas of rain, snow and mixed precipitation, along with
echo tops and movement, graphical and textual surface observations
(METARs) and Terminal Area Forecasts (TAFs), plotted SIGMETs and
AIRMETs direct to the cockpit.
