FLIGHT PLANNER 5000 V2.0

4.4.7 Area Winds

Area winds can be entered by pressing the Enter Area Winds button on the

Segment Screen or automatically from a NAIPS session.

The Flight Planner 5000 software knows which area forecasts are required for the current flight plan and shows these, with any area winds that have been specified, on the top of the screen.

The date and time that each individual area forecast was last modified is saved with the data and used to automatically delete area forecast winds that are over 12 hours old.

To enter an area wind firstly enter the area number in the box to the left of the table, then add wind information to the table.

Enter all the area winds that are required for the flight and then have them automatically applied to the flight plan by pressing the Apply area winds to

this flight plan check box and then pressing the OK button.
