With more than 200 years of combined experience, our meteorologists tailor computerized flight plans that save time, fuel and money. By continuously monitoring weather conditions along your route, we help you avoid areas of severe weather, thunderstorms, significant icing and turbulence, while maximizing use of upper level winds that result in more accurate fuel loads and flight time projections. We also provide NOTAMS, FAA and EuroControl flow advisories. Our access to all FAA preferred routings ensures that ATC accepts your route and keeps last minute changes to a minimum. Air Routing’s HF communications and link to the latest satellite communications give us immediate access to you while en route. Air Security International is also watching your flight. Air Routing clients automatically receive Air Security’s FliteWatch program. Security analysts monitor world affairs 24 hours a day, giving us the unique ability to pass on information that could be critical to the crew and passenger’s safety. Air Routing meteorologists provide an array of verbal and written weather briefs. No retainers or membership fees are required to use these weather services. While you’re on a trip, our forecasters will send your weather outlooks the night before departure at your hotel. Should typhoons or conditions warrant warning bulletins, we also send this information to your hotel. This is a sample flight brief that is generated by our meteorologists and flight operations staff at Air Routing. This is sent before your trip and can contain the following information. These charts are for demonstration purposes only. Special Notices Handling, Hotel & Permit Information Flight Plan Filing Information Location Identifiers Terminal Forecasts & Observations PIREPS/AIREPS SIGMETS/Flow Control Advisories NOTAMS Computer Flight Plans North Atlantic Track Data Passenger Forecasts ARO slots are arrival and departure reservation numbers for applicable airports. This will be added to the "remarks" section of the flight plan when required. The following US and Canadian airports require reservations: DCA, JFK, LGA, ORD, YYZ and occasionally other airports when conditions dictate.
As part of Air Routing’s flight following program, we will provide a brief update of weather forecasts and observations for destination airports. We can deliver this en route by any means available, such as AFIS or ARINC. Air Routing does not charge for this update except for the fees associated with communications.
On request, tabular en route winds at various flight levels can be included in the flight brief at no additional charge.
Air Routing coordinates with the meteorologists at Wilkens Weather Technologies, Inc. to forecast tropical storm tracks worldwide. The latest bulletin and tracking chart is routinely included in any briefing when the storms may affect the flight. There is no additional charge for this service, unless communication fees are involved.
