Testimonials
"By incorporating Turbulence Aware data into pilot, dispatcher and meteorologist tools Delta has realized benefits to safety, customer comfort, schedule integrity and efficiency."
Capt. Patrick Burns, Delta's Vice President - Flight Operations & System Chief Pilot
“The big change was that we now know if we got an alert or a value, that’s fact, that’s measured, no discrepancy and that is a physical fact of what is going on at that moment in that area of the airspace.”
Thomas Weber, Head of Flight Dispatch at Swiss International Airlines
“IATA’s collaborative approach to creating Turbulence Aware with open source data means that airlines will have access to data to better mitigate turbulence. Using Turbulence Aware in conjunction with Delta’s proprietary Flight Weather Viewer app is expected to build on the significant reductions we’ve seen already to both turbulence-related crew injuries and carbon emissions year-over-year”
Jim Graham, Senior Vice President of Flight Operations at Delta Air Lines
"EDR is a powerful tool for making decisions on altitude changes and route changes, especially on long-distance international flights, due to its objectivity and ease of use.Up until now, flights over the Pacific have largely relied on predictions from meteorological data, and the pilots’ ability to obtain real time turbulence reports is limited.
However, it is now possible to obtain the latest EDR data using the aircraft's WIFI to obtain a more accurate ENROUTE status via integrated weather tools running on EFBs. As a result, it not only realizes efficient altitude selection and comfortable flight with less shaking, but also reduces the risk of injury in the cabin.
We hope that more airlines will join in the future, and that EDR data will continue to grow."
Yuki Hayashi et al. Captain, Flight Operation Center at All Nippon Airways
