AvFinity offers cost-effective options for airlines, corporate flight departments and individual pilots that provide weather information necessary for generating and filing flight plans. We maintain a direct connection into the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for feeds of the Aeronautical Information Data Access Portal (AIDAP)replacement for the legacy FAA604 weather data circuit.
As with all AvFInity services, aviation companies have many technology alternatives for accessing these feeds in either XML or FAA604 format.

Airlines and flight departments can choose any of multiple options to access this information for generating and filing flight plans:

• The AvFinity Integrated Services Router™ (AIRS™) provides AvFinity's patent-pending connectivity software technology on a Cisco Integrated Services Router. AIRS is a plug-and-play appliance that offers seamless access to weather and NOTAM feeds.
• The AvFinity Web Services provide machine-to-machine access to the AvFinity Secure Messaging Suite (ASMS™) using the traditional AvFinity network. The Web Services option (using AvFinity's SOAP interface and XML) provides easy access to weather without added investment in technology or development time.
• The AvFinity Socket Application Interface facilitates weather and NOTAM feeds with or without a virtual private network (VPN). A network socket efficiently provides aviation companies with high volume data needs and high levels of security through the VPN.
• The AvFinity Web Site (www.avfinity.com) serves as a handy, low-cost tool for private pilots who are infrequent users of weather. By simply setting up an AvFinity account, individual users can gain access to METAR and TAF weather information.
• Users may access information from the AIDAP replacement for the FAA604 weather data circuit in either XML or legacy format. This is an important option for aviation companies that are not equipped to receive XML weather data and do not wish to incur new technology or development costs.

WeatherSign™ can easily be bundled with the AvFinity NOTAM Express™ or any other service. This provides a cost-effective means of gathering all information necessary for flight plan filing from a single, efficient source.
