*This Webinar is for airlines and aircraft operators only

Register to view this On-Demand Webinar (recorded 2nd May 2024) to see the latest advances in real-time cockpit flight efficiency, with a demo and overview of ClearPath, the real-time flight path optimizer and turbulence avoidance tool from AVTECH, as trusted by airlines worldwide to empower their flight crews and drive sustainability. As you will see, ClearPath, delivered as a service, is easy to deploy on any fleet, requiring no additional investments by using existing aircraft datalink technology (ACARS, FMC, Cockpit Printer, EFB, etc.), and can reduce fuel consumption, lower CO2 emissions, and improve overall flight efficiency by up to 5% for each flight from day one.  During the Webinar, the AVTECH team will walk you through the tool using a typical flight, showing how the real-time flight profile data is delivered to the flight deck via an EFB device, or simply via the cockpit computer, providing pilots with the information they need to optimize in-flight step climb/descent for the greatest efficiency gains, based on the airline’s selected cost index, actual performance data, and the current weather and atmospheric conditions.  You will also see the next-gen turbulence avoidance feature that informs pilots about hazardous turbulence along the flight path and suggests the most cost-effective way to avoid it, ensuring a safe and smoothjourney for aircraft and passengers. The Webinar will also showcase three new ClearPath features; a speed optimizer that saves additional fuel and time by flying a more optimal speed profile; a new dashboard monitoring tool that enables fuel efficiency managers to monitor and validate results; and a contrail modelling and avoidance feature (utilizing a high-resolution humidity forecast) through changing flight levels.

During the Webinar you will also learn about AVTECH’s innovative Aventus service, which delivers precise wind and temperature data to the aircraft flight computer for enhanced performance during climb, cruise, and descent. You will also see how all of AVTECH’s services are based on truly unique 10k global weather forecasts provided by the UK Met Office. The high-resolution weather data used in each computation is tailored for the individual flight, both in time and space; you will see how AVTECH retrieves this data in real-time to ensure that the most up-to-date weather information is always used for precise flight optimizations.  Finally, the AVTECH team will showcase some case study success stories from customers such as Norwegian, Volotea, and Volaris, outlining the efficiency gains per flight.

The Webinar is divided into 5 key sections:

1. ClearPath Demo and Overview: Real-Time Flight Path Optimization & Turbulence Avoidance
   First, you will see a full demo and overview of ClearPath.  You will see how the solution combines real-time flight data (weight, used cost index, flight plan, active FMS route, etc.) with a sophisticated ground-based service that uses next-gen algorithms, linked directly to the industry’s leading high-resolution global weather model, to provide pilots with an easy-to-read report (via their EFB, or printer or display) providing decision support for selecting the most optimal flight level in all stages of flight to save fuel, CO2 emissions and time.  You will also see how ClearPath notifies the pilots about weather hazards along the route, such as significant turbulence and temperature exceedances, and proposes the cost-optimal flight path to avoid them. 
   
   
2. ClearPath – Latest Innovations: Optimized Speeds, Fuel Efficiency Dashboard; Contrail Avoidance
   Next, you will learn about the latest ClearPath developments.  Firstly, the speed optimizer that finds the most cost-optimal speed profile for any given flight, based on the set mission target cost-index. As you will see ClearPath uses high-resolution data sources with a high-resolution aircraft performance model, to find the optimal speed in each flight segment that will provide a total cost-optimal speed profile. Secondly, the new dashboard monitoring tool that enables fuel efficiency managers to monitor and validate results for each flight.  Lastly, a contrail modelling and avoidance feature (utilizing a high-resolution humidity forecast) through changing flight levels.  You will see results from a 737 operator which shows significant contrail reductions.
   
   
3. ClearPath Airline Case Studies: Norwegian, Volotea, and Volaris
   Next, with case studies from Volotea and Norwegian, AVTECH experts will share analyses, data, and experiences from implementations of ClearPath on both Airbus and Boeing aircraft.  You will see how the airlines are optimizing each flight and generating up to 5% of fuel and CO2 savings.  The data and analyses show where the most savings can be realized at particular sectors in each flight.  Examples you will see include a 787 trans-Atlantic flight showing how ClearPath was able to direct the pilots to change altitude to take maximum advantage of beneficial jet stream winds over Europe and save 1.7% of cruise fuel during that sector; as well as how Volaris saved 3,150 tons of fuel over the past year.
   
   
4. Aventus Overview and Benefits: Real-Time Automated Optimized Wind and Temperature Data Uplink
   Next, you will see a demo and overview of Aventus which up-links precise wind and temperature data to the aircraft to improve FMC calculations during climb, cruise, and descent. As you will see, Aventus calculates the optimal wind levels to be inserted to best represent the current climb, cruise and descent wind profile for each flight, for optimum efficiency and significant fuel saving. The up-links can be sent directly to the FMC or as a text message to the cockpit.  Aventus utilizes the most accurate high-resolution weather forecasts from the UK Met Office, combined with AVTECH’s patented algorithms, to calculate optimum wind levels.
   
   
5. UK Met-Office Global High-Resolution Weather Data
   Finally, you will see how all AVTECH’s services use global high-resolution weather provided by UK Met Office, and how the weather data used in each computation is unique and tailored for each flight. You will see how AVTECH retrieves this data in real-time to guarantee that the latest and most up to date weather is always used in-flight, ensuring the best flight optimizations. As you will see, the weather data derived from the Met Office’s High-Resolution model has unmatched accuracy and reduces the error between actual and forecast winds to a minimum.

About the Aircraft IT Webinar Series:

Every 2 weeks the Aircraft IT website hosts a different live Webinar, each Webinar hosted by a different IT Vendor. These sessions represent the perfect opportunity to learn about a software solution in a more informal manner and to quickly gain an in-depth knowledge of all the major systems on the market, all from the comfort of your own office or home with no sales pressure.

The IT vendor provides a live software demonstration/masterclass of their solution and explains how it can benefit airlines, MROs, Operators, OEMs, Leasing Companies. Once logged on, online delegates can ask questions via the interactive sections of the Webinar or simply sit back and watch and listen to the demonstration. There are two sessions during the day, each differently times to accommodate all time zones.

Each Webinar session is recorded, and an On-Demand version is then posted back to the Aircraft IT website a few days after the live session to allow you to view the content again with your colleagues. The library of On-Demand Webinar recordings provides an invaluable reference source of Flight Operations software demonstrations from the World’s leading Flight Operations IT Vendors.
