Hi guys...

By the way, which winds do you usually insert in the DES FORECAST page ?

I believe that the most advanced airlines use the ACARS system to upload this kind of data to the fleet, right ?

Where I'm flying nowadays, the ACARS system is pretty basic, not to say useless, and the only winds we have forecasted are those on our navigation plan. So, when available, I feed the DES FORECAST page with High, Medium and Low altitude winds + the QNH setting at the destination arpt.
