At the AOPA Summit in October 2012 Lockheed Martin had a large and impressive display to announce the rollout of Flight Services (LMFS). Sigh…another flight planning app. Why bother? We took a look and concluded that the site has a lot to offer, but a lot to improve.
One Stop Web Weather?
Key Takeaways:
- Lockheed Martin Flight Services (LMFS) provides a comprehensive online flight planning and briefing tool, offering pilots access to nearly all the information a traditional telephone briefer uses.
- Key features include the Adverse Condition Alerting Service (ACAS) for real-time weather and TFR alerts, assistance with filing complex ICAO flight plans, and a detailed airport directory.
- While showing great promise and useful features, the service is still under development, with planned enhancements to address current limitations like the absence of plain language weather decoders and automated briefing summaries.
