Perhaps may of you have already used the AOPA's Internet Flight
Planner. I'm assuming that the software is powered by Jeppesen's Internet Flight Planner. I have noticed that you can overlay the winds aloft on the chart. It looks to me that the winds aloft information presented on this program is much more detailed than the winds aloft available from www.aviationweather.gov. For example, you have a lot more winds aloft stations than the aviationweather.gov on the map. It also looks to me that the winds aloft can be attained in the increment of less than 3000ft, which is not possible in aviationweather.gov. Does anybody know where this software is getting this winds aloft data from? How reliable is this? -- i.e.) winds aloft at 7500ft and 8000ft are indicated slightly different. I was looking at the help file on the AOPA's Internet Flight Planner, but no further information was provided. I am curious to see if there are many other winds aloft stations than just the ones available at aviationweather.gov. |
