Updating Winds Aloft
First, thanx everyone for using this forum...it is full of interesting aviation knowledge, including the answers to some of my questions.
At my airline, I have asked the check airman, and I have looked online and cant' find an answer.
To fly most economically, we need accurate winds loaded into our FMS. IN the past, winds used to come out 0600/1200/1800/0000. Nowdays, winds are constantly being updated by all of us flying around and reporting them automatically.
Are the winds aloft info also being updated continuously? Every hour? Or are they still only updated on the old 6 hour schedule?
Thanx for any and all comments and information.
