An Embraer E175 was forced to divert after encountering severe turbulence….

Envoy Air Flight 3729 from Charleston, South Carolina to Dallas, Texas was diverted after encountering severe turbulence that ripped off part of its wing.” By AirLive, May 4th, 2022.

While clear sky turbulence is the most common type of airline accident, the 30K subscribed pilots who use SkyPath need not worry as they have access to reliable, high-resolution, real-time data on turbulence along their planned flight route.

Uploaded directly to the pilot’s iPad, SkyPath turbulence data can prevent accidents and improve customer satisfaction by helping pilots and dispatchers to optimize flight routes, cut fuel costs, and tailor in-flight service and announcements to weather conditions.

Unlike other meteorological conditions, current models are unable to predict or forecast turbulence which means that pilots are, to some extent, flying blind when it comes to turbulence. Similar to popular apps which build on data from drivers to estimate traffic conditions, SkyPath taps into data collected by thousands of aircrafts and plugs it into its patented AI algorithm to map and grade the severity of active turbulence and send users relevant turbulence alerts. With over 150 million turbulence reports annually (from smooth to severe), SkyPath’s proprietary data can also be used to improve weather forecasting and nowcasting.

Fly as planned or divert to a less risky and calmer route. All the information you need is right in front of you, with continuous automatic updates in real time throughout the flight!

SkyPath, changing the way we fly, and overcome Turbulence.

“Turbulence is the most common airline accident type today”
