I gather quite a few operators are already using Skypath. Looks like an interesting model, and I could see Boeing/ForeFlight snapping it up for integration given their user base. With more data flowing in, it could really gain traction. As I understand it, it isn’t dependent on uplink/downlink since it has its own predictive model.
Curious if anyone here has first-hand experience with it?

What’s your impression of it in practice? I assume you’re airline (NA or Asia)? When it was presented to us it wasn’t yet available on ForeFlight, and since ForeFlight already has its own turbulence layer, I wonder how open they’d be to integration. I was quite impressed with SkyPath.

We have been using a similar product for about a year and it can occasionally be useful, but for a lot of the time you are not the only aircraft in the sky so are limited in what you can actually do with the information. It also very well demonstrates the difference between precision and accuracy.
