United States : Rockwell Collins launches integrated weight and balance/performance feature in ARINCDirect iPad app [TendersInfo (India)]


(TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Rockwell Collins is enhancing its popular ARINCDirect iPad app with a new weight and balance/performance feature that provides business aviation pilots the ability to make accurate computations with or without an Internet connection.



Last-minute changes are the rule in business aviation not the exception and this new feature allow pilots to maintain safety in a dynamic environment, said Bob Richard, staff vice president, ARINCDirect for Rockwell Collins. The growing trend for business jet operators to be able to immediately access the information they need regardless of where they are was a key driver for this offering, and another example of how we re leading the business aviation movement towards a fully-electronic flight bag.

When the weight and balance/performance report is created using the ARINCDirect website, the enhanced app automatically synchronizes with the customer s account, reducing the need to re-enter data while still enabling the crew to make changes with an easy-to-use interface.


Other features already available on the ARINCDirect app include real-time access to trip details, weather and terminal area enroute charts. ARINCDirect has also added the ability to filter leg lists by tail number and number of days, pre-departure clearances sent directly to the iPad, a brightness control, and support for adding trips to Apple s iCal calendar via iCloud, so they can be viewed on all of a user s Apple devices.

The enhanced ARINCDirect iPad app with all of these features is available for free in the Apple App Store now.
