Tigani Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 hello my active sky 6 gives me wrong wind aloft at the top today i was on a flight at FL360 the wind was 240/105kts i checked the real wind data on ADDS , i found that at FL360 the wind is between 45-55kts ! anyway to correct this ?

ronzie Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Go through your AS options. There are some that pertain to how winds aloft are generated. Are you talking about the report generated by processing your flight plan in AS not matching the ADDS report? Are you using an archived weather fetch in AS set to the GMT (Zulu) time of your flight and that your flight is not on system time but one that matches your data fetch from the AS servers. They must be synced especially to allow for time zone differences. KMSP - Minnesota: Land of 10,000 Puddles Support Team [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEBOJSA Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Would it be possible to have a picture of the AS setup. nebojsa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont load the flight plan in AS6 , all what i do is running AS and then minimize it and let him do his job Would it be possible to have a picture of the AS setup. nebojsa http://store1.up-00.com/2016-04/146046495175211.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Didn't winds aloft stop working years ago when NOAA changed the location of its winds data? http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronzie Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I thought a service pack and changes to the hi-fi servers took care of updating the sources. In the AS options be sure disable winds aloft is not checked. Running the flight plan through the AS processor makes AS more efficient and also generates a regular or extended report with winds aloft at your waypoints (including aloft temperatures used for advanced aircraft instrumentation and flight planners for course correction and fuel planning) . Look at those waypoint aloft reports and compare to the source (ADDS?) you are using. Be sure you have downloaded the same GMT data you are using with ADDS. Here is a sample winds aloft forecast from weatherunderground (free) that you can use to compare with your AS report for US locations: https://www.wunderground.com/Aviation_Maps/Winds_Aloft/FL350-12.html#a_topad KMSP - Minnesota: Land of 10,000 Puddles Support Team [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
