Key Takeaways:

Dassault Aviation has introduced "FalconWays," a new iPad-based flight planning app for Falcon jet pilots designed to identify the most fuel-efficient routes.
The tool utilizes updated global wind data, route optimization, and specific performance algorithms, leading to significant fuel savings (up to 7% observed in tests) and reduced carbon emissions.
FalconWays is part of Dassault's commitment to sustainable flying, aiming to enhance operational efficiency and lower aviation emission levels.
The app will initially debut on the Falcon 6X and be progressively rolled out to other Falcon models, including the 8X, 7X, and 2000LXS/S, by early 2025.

The new FalconWays tool from Dassault Aviation allows Falcon jet pilots to find the most fuel-efficient routing. One benefit—besides the cost savings involved? The reduction in carbon emissions from the lower fuel burn overall.

FalconWays uses updated global wind data, route optimization, and performance algorithms that are specific to the model. The tool will be delivered to pilots via the Dassault FalconSphere iPad electronic flight bag (EFB), and it’s compatible with both Jeppesen and Universal flight planning software.
