Driftdown Software

Hi all

Currently flying for a European operator who do driftdown on a case-by-case basis which limits our ability to re-route during ATC slots because of the time it takes to run the software. Software is designed by the aircraft manufacturer and requires each waypoint / route / obstacle to be manually input.

Would be interested to know what other European operators are using, I'm convinced that there is a better way than what we are using currently.

Thanks

Bluesky - usually the driftdown summary is calculated within the flight planning software and should be a fairly simple automated process provided that the correct data has been loaded into the aircraft database file.

Which flight planning software provider are you currently using?

Are you looking for overwater driftdown calculations or terrain driftdown calculations?
