Enhance your flight planning with new headwind/tailwind and estimated ground speed layers in Profile View, offering precise altitude insights and timely route analysis.

By combining aircraft performance data with headwind/tailwind information, these layers provide a quick visual assessment: green for favorable conditions, while gray shows less favorable ones.

Leveraging the same packed winds aloft data as the Dynamic Winds and Temperatures layers, these new layers offer time-differentiated forecasts along your route.

For deeper insights, tap and hold in the Profile View to see additional details as you scrub along the route.

Available with Performance Plus subscription plans.
