Do any
VB drivers know what the FPL interface is from COY despatch to NAIPS / TAAATS?
I wonder if you as the driver are getting a cockpit copy that is different to whatever is punching in to the ATS system?
Not doubting what your FPL and CI says - just what our system is capturing. Out of interest I looked this morning at a few
VB DEPS out of BN and noticed quite a spread in the FPL TAS.
Todya would have been all academic anyway due to the inability of the FPOS to handle the varying westerlies.
As someone who used to do Flow the 'old' way, there is a common sysing that if the FPOS was being checked on most days it would 'fail' the rating check! I think if it had the ability to dynamically update it's descent profiles through real-time 'actual' winds aloft (via ACARS or other DATA link) it would do a much better job.
But then again I am just a dumb controller.
