Temperature Changes
Temperature changes can affect:
- Aircraft performance
- Flight plans
- Routes
- Volatile precipitation patterns could increase delays and cancellations
Aviation &
the Weather
Aviation, more than any other mode of transportation, is greatly affected by weather. From thunderstorms and snowstorms to temperature and pressure extremes, every stage of the flight has the potential to be impacted by weather. Commercial aviation, with its more than 100,000 daily flights, must not just deal with these adverse weather conditions regularly, but the costs associated with it as well.
Impact
Weather primarily affects aviation in two critical areas: safety and operational efficiency. Maintaining safe operations while protecting schedule reliability requires timely, accurate, and dependable weather intelligence. With better weather information, airlines and flight operations teams can anticipate changing conditions, make more informed routing decisions, and reduce the operational impact of adverse weather.
Wind Pattern Changes
Changing wind patterns could cause:
- Turbulence
- Result in the rerouting of flights
- Increase fuel burn
ADS-B Derived Weather Data
Capturing Wind & Temperature
Data Through ADS-B
AirNav’s REST-based ADS-B Derived Weather Data API enables aviation and meteorological service providers to seamlessly integrate real time temperature and winds aloft data into their applications and products. Wind speed, wind direction and temperature data are derived from the ADS-B data received in real time from the multitude of ADS-B equipped aircraft that crisscross our skies every day.
This unconventional approach to harnessing weather data is possible because of AirNav s extensive space and ground-based network of 55,000+ ADS-B receivers that receive over 11 billion ADS-B transmissions each day.

Benefits
Smarter weather insights for safer,
more efficient operations.
Optimized
Flight Planning
- AirNav ADS-B Derived Weather Data ensures flight planning software engines are constantly fed accurate, real-time weather data.
- Optimize flight planning through flight management systems to ensure efficient cruising flight levels based on live weather conditions and significantly reduce fuel burn rates.
- Reduce aviation fuel expenditure from lower fuel consumption per flight.
Increased
Operational Safety
- Improve total situational awareness through up-to-date weather reports that indicate adverse weather conditions such as clear air turbulence (CAT).
- Increase passenger safety through reduction of in-flight weather related incidents.
- Increase on-time performance while reducing delays, re routes, cancellations, and insurance payouts caused due to inclement weather.
Reduced
Emissions
- Reduce CO2 emissions and climate change impact through optimized flight planning and efficient routing.
- Reduce contrail linked climate change by planning and adjusting flight routes so that aircraft can avoid areas where they form.
