Logitude OPT is a Flight Profile Optimizer software for the ATR 42-500 aircraft. It uses actual manufacturers performance data, input values from the user as well as predetermined parameters from the back-end server to determine the optimum flight profile for a given route in given ambient and aircraft conditions. A separate web interface is used to maintain the back-end server attributes which are synchronized to the iPad app every time the app is launched and there is network connectivity available.
The application displays a flights optimum (ECO) flight profile data and cost savings compared to the standard flight profile, and also potential savings per year for the fleet in question.
The pilot may also create a custom profile where he/she can manipulate the ECO profile and see reflected changes in cost and flight time - for example the optimum flight altitude/flight level is not available, or if the flight is running late and a flight time reduction is required to retain the schedule.
Using Logitude OPT requires a one-time online activation, and a separate contract with Logitude Ltd.
