Flight Explorer Goes Global With Release of FE Professional 7.0
19 November 2006
Flight Explorer (FE), a global flight tracking and IT solutions provider to the aviation community, today announced the release of Flight Explorer Professional(tm) Edition 7.0. With Version 7.0, Flight Explorer has added a spherical view that allows users to track an aircraft or their fleet around the globe using FE's new rotatable 3D display. In addition, the system now has the ability to ingest global Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) position reports to display aircraft positions anywhere in the world. FE can incorporate global ACARS position reports from the ARINC, SITA, Iridium and Inmarsat communications networks.
FE Professional is the industry's most accurate, reliable and widely-used Aircraft Situation Display (ASD) system. The system goes beyond "flight tracking" by incorporating multiple data feeds, dynamic weather overlays, situational alerts, forecast weather and air traffic tools to make FE Professional an essential flight operations management system.
"The features now available in Version 7.0 will allow our customers to track their aircraft 24/7 on a truly global basis," said Flight Explorer CEO Jim Kelly. "These are significant additions to our product, as both domestic and international carriers that utilize ACARS or other position reporting systems can now use our powerful decision-support tools to track their aircraft and improve operational performance."
In addition to the features listed above, FE Edition 7.0 has added valuable product enhancements that include:
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Route Display - The Route Check feature now includes ICAO formatted routes.
