Approach Systems Inc., creators of the Plug & Play “Fast Stack” Hub and Cable System and APIC (APproach Integrated Cockpit) glass cockpit software, has teamed with WxWorx to offer XM weather information on APIC with realtime weather on the moving map.
APIC now includes an additional setting page to allow the user to customize the moving map with detailed weather information, including TAF, Metar, radar, lightning strikes, Airmets, Sigmets and TFR information. To integrate this data into the APIC software an XM Weather box must be purchased from Approach ($695) along with a subscription to XM Weather ($49).
