Flight Planning, Evolved
Skyplan has led the way in digital and web based flight-planning, a technique we first introduced in 1998. Aurora is the culmination of that experience.
Using aircraft performance and meteorological models, Aurora offers reliable and accurate flight planning results along with optimized routing, precise fuel burns, and integrated performance tools. Together, these translate into reduced operational costs for your business.
Aurora gives you the tools you need to plan, build, test, manage, visualize, file, and up-link flight plans to your aircraft’s Flight Management System (FMS) from any location in the world, at any time, by using a variety of communication networks.
Today, Aurora’s powerful cutting-edge server infrastructure assures short response times and high bandwidth for complex flight planning tasks. Combine this with an intuitive user interface and a dedicated 24/7 support network, and you have a product that allows you to focus on your flight operations and not on your flight planning software.
