Vital safety and operational information is available to pilots for every minute that the aircraft is airborne. Pilots have access to data in-flight about wind speed and direction, weather patterns on their route, and mid-air traffic. GPS and other navigation systems guide the aircraft from the moment it reaches cruising altitude until its final descent. Until now, however, data for the most critical phases of flight, takeoff and landing, has been in short supply. At most, pilots have been able to see maps of their destination airports and have had little assistance in planning ascent and descent flight paths.
A new option is available to pilots that provides them with the same detailed, up-to-date data about takeoffs, approaches, and landings that they have been accustomed to having in mid air. Aircraft Performance Group, Inc. (APG) is a company that has provided flight planning, takeoff and landing analysis and airport data to the aviation industry for more than 25 years. Their service assists business aircraft in optimizing their takeoff and approach flight paths, resulting in greater flight safety and higher maximum allowable payloads . . .
