SkyPath Pro 5.0.5

SkyPath focuses on delivering precise real-time turbulence data through crowdsourcing. The company offers a solution that combines real-time data with aviation expertise to address the significant impact turbulence has on the airline industry.

The turbulence issue results in substantial financial losses for airlines, accounting for crew and passenger injuries, operational delays, and unscheduled aircraft maintenance. Clear Air Turbulence (CAT) has been a persistent challenge for the aviation sector for over three decades, with current data being complex, hard to obtain, and unreliable in guiding pilots effectively.

How SkyPath Works:

• SkyPath operates as a Crowd Sourcing network-based system that utilizes accelerometer and GPS data from tablets and mobile devices to transmit real-time information from the air to a server and back to users. The primary focus is on flight safety, ensuring that pilots receive timely alerts without compromising the overall safety of the flight.
• Airline pilots use Electronic Flight Bags (EFB) tablets during flights. By utilizing the SkyPath app on their iPads, they actively contribute to the crowdsourced solution. This allows both pilots and flight planners access to real-time turbulence conditions.

Key Features:

• Real-Time: An automatic real-time turbulence sensing and display system.
• Safety Priority: Enables pilots to select the optimal route to ensure passenger safety.
• Crowdsourced Data: Utilizes shared real-time information sourced from crowd observations.
• Easy Integration: SkyPath can be quickly installed without additional setup costs, adopting a plug-and-play approach.

Benefits of Using SkyPath:

• Reduction in Severe Turbulence Inspections: Provides objective real-time reports that enable maintenance teams to address exact "G" tolerance incursions promptly, ultimately reducing unnecessary inspections. Pilots are alerted in advance to prevent aircraft overspeeding limits in turbulent regions.
• Decrease in On-Board Injuries: Enhances pilot and dispatch awareness by sharing crowd-sourced insights, aiding in efficient turbulence navigation and reducing crew and passenger injuries.
• Fuel Conservation and Efficient Flight Planning: Offers better information for critical decision-making processes, allowing operations departments to confidently project route turbulence hazards and enabling pilots to navigate turbulent situations safely. This results in cost savings by avoiding excess contingency fuel consumption for enroute weather avoidance.
• Enhanced Forecasting for Flight Planning: Provides instantaneous feedback on turbulence conditions, enhancing flight planning efficiency by expanding flyable airspace opportunities.
