New Data Service Offers Internet-Delivered Aviation Weather Data

A new subscription-based aviation weather data service for preflight weather analysis has been introduced by Baron Services. Supplying graphical weather information over virtually any Internet connection, QuikLink provides weather coverage across the continental United States and southern Canada with pricing tiers starting at just $14.99 per month. The perfect complement to an XM WX Satellite Weather subscription, Baron QuikLink is being offered at 50% off the monthly subscription prices to current XM Weather subscribers.

Baron says QuickLink provides timely and accurate aviation weather data in a comprehensive suite of meteorologist-tested weather information including high-resolution NEXRAD Radar, Lightning, Storm Tracking, METARs/TAFs, Winds Aloft, Icing and more. With flexible and affordable subscription options, Baron QuikLink enables pilots to view weather data by altitude, as well as to overlay multiple data products simultaneously.

"We see Baron QuikLink as the perfect pre-flight planning weather tool," said Bob Baron, president and CEO of Baron Services. "Pilots wanted an accurate weather system that would be convenient, flexible and affordable - with Baron QuikLink, we are bringing pilots all three."

Enabling pilots to choose the service plan that most suites their needs, Baron QuikLink offers the following three service plans: Wings ($14.99 per month), Wings Plus ($24.99 per month) and Wings Elite ($49.99 per month).

The aviation data suite is accessible through Baron WxWorx software, a PC-based program which provides a point-and-click interface and GPS compatibility (requires aviation or NMEA-standard GPS device). Available immediately, Baron WxWorx software is free and can be downloaded from the Baron QuikLink web site.

Compatible with most Windows PCs, Baron WxWorx software displays QuikLink's high-resolution data over a detailed map with the ability to pan and zoom down within the span of a mile.
