How to use winds aloft and . . .

Featured Replies

differences on winds between AS6.5 and ASX ?Hi,after a flight from EDDT to KPHX several questions came up . . . again!1. To my understanding the winds in both systems are SPOT winds and notFORECAST winds - am I correct? For a 12 hour flight in RW the dispatcher would use FORECAST winds to calculate such a long flight, where some areas will be reached 8 to 10 hours AFTER preparation!Would it be possible to issue some sort of forecast model in future releases of AS ? It would increase the quality extremly. Metars are also issued as spot and fcst . . .2. I noticed some differences between AS6.5 and ASX for the route - sometimes VERY little differences, but there are some HEAVY between both systems. But still, how come that within 5 minutes of loading time ( both server2 at 1450Z Apr 02 ) these differences occur ?3. Difference between both NAVLOGS :AS6.5 looks like : ( only the wind )MIMKU 167,5 (nm) 281 64 PIKILASX :MIMKU 19 283 68PIKIL 168 276 41Both calc with 18 minsAnother one :DLH 111 276 81 14 minsGEP ASX:DLH 117 276 76GEP 111 271 103 15 minsI like the AS6.5 system more since it shows the data more clearly which are used for the sector - would it be possible to change this for ASX ? The only advantage of ASX are MAG VAR values for the waypoints!At the end I arrived at destination within 2 mins of calculation with plus 500 lbs of fuel since I gained back all 12 mins over the US territory since winds have changed favourably after 10 hours since preparation of flightplan . . .Karl-Heinz - EDDI/THF " Tempelhof "" The mother of all airports " - Sir Norman Fosterhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/747400.jpg
