HI!

The Sacramento Bee posted an article with accompanying video showing what a 3 lb drone can do to one of your wings on impact.

I thought this might be interesting enough to post on the SV forum.

I had a heck of a time trying to figure out what category to put this post under.

Can someone help with an explanation please?

Hi all

Skyvector is awesome to use for the realtime world, spot on!

But I like to do some simulations for routes.

Therefore I would like to calculate a route with different winds aloft.

Is there a possibility?

Keep up the good work!

Stopped for fuel at M48 and Jan. 1 and the pump was not working. Flew to the next closest airport where I was told that M48 had not had fuel for many weeks.

Good I have made an excel flight planner which suits our operation very well. Where can I get nav data in csv or excel format? Kind regards, Mark

Hey everyone,

 

We've launched a new resource for aviation security, mainly covering modern issues and how we can mitigate threats. A big concern of everyone nowadays is how to improve landside security or how we can improve passenger experience without sacrificing security standards.

Hi,

 

I really like the skyvector Mapping tools! I am also trying to find some sources for the winds aloft (whole world, not only USA), but can't seem to find it. May I ask if anyone knows a datasource for winds aloft.

Same goes for the turbelence/icing data. I did stumble on Pilot Reports (PIREPs), but thats it.

 

Thanks!
