By General Aviation News Staff · April 22, 2005 ·

Flight Explorer, a provider of Internet-based, real-time global flight tracking information, reporting and display products, has enhanced its weather options.

Weather information, which comes from a number of sources, including the National Weather Service, allows users to display and animate the weather to see storm system movement and direction. Flight Explorer Professional makes available more than 40 different weather overlays, including U.S. and Canadian Nexrad, worldwide IR satellite and the Collaborative Convective Forecast Product (CCFP).

Flight Explorer also offers a real-time lightning overlay, using information from the U.S. Precision Lightning Network.

Flight Explorer Professional updates aircraft positions every minute and refreshes screen views every 10 seconds.
