Stakeholders across the aviation industry often face the challenge of navigating through inconsistent ride quality information from various sources, each using its own design and units of measurement. This fragmentation can leave pilots, dispatchers and other operators with an incomplete picture, forcing them to switch between multiple data sources and sometimes perform manual calculations to achieve situational awareness.
To address this challenge, SkyPath has created OneLayer: the world's first smart, consolidated ride quality data source. This innovative solution leverages AI to integrate the world’s best turbulence data sources into a single, coherent layer. It provides pilots with a comprehensive and reliable view of current and predicted ride quality information, presented in an intuitive and actionable way.
How it works
SkyPath OneLayer uses the familiar SkyPath hexagon display and severity scale, integrating data from:
- SkyPath Observational data
- SkyPath Turbulence Nowcasting (with predictions up to 12 hours ahead)
- EDR (Eddy Dissipation Rate)
- PIREPs (Pilot Reports)
- And more...
A single hexagon can consolidate data from all these sources, eliminating the need for pilots to switch between different sources or manually interpret data in order to get a full picture of ride quality conditions across all sources.
Key benefits of SkyPath’s OneLayer:
- Smart Notifications: SkyPath OneLayer enhances situational awareness with intelligent notifications. Integrated observational and predictive data deliver real-time alerts tailored to flight conditions. These alerts prioritize critical information based on the confidence level of each data source, ensuring pilots stay informed and focused on safety.
- Extended Nowcasting Predictions up to 12 hours in advance: SkyPath OneLayer provides accurate nowcasting predictions for regions where observational data is not available. With predictions now available up to 12 hours ahead, pilots can better prepare for long-haul flights, enhancing safety and efficiency.
- Deeper insights: Pilots can tap on a hexagon to learn more about the various sources making up a turbulence report. This feature provides deeper insights, allowing quick access to information without leaving the main display. With detailed data at their fingertips, pilots can make more informed decisions and enhance situational awareness.
- SkyPath OneLayer is highly configurable, allowing air carrier operators to adjust settings according to their preferences. This flexibility ensures that the system can meet the specific needs of different operators and flight conditions.
SkyPath OneLayer is available across the SkyPath ecosystem, including APIs and SDKs. For more information, contact us at [contact@skypath.io].
