| AFMatic General Description | |
|
AFMatic is a Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP program, making full use of the available technology to deliver to the corporate pilot the power of a performance engineering department at the touch of a button. The Tybee Jet philosophy is that the software should do work for you, not help you do work. So we gave AFMatic an easy-to-use interface on the outside and coupled that with state-of-the-art computational methods on the inside. We think you'll agree that the result is a powerful flight planning tool.
Takeoff and landing calculations are accomplished by selecting the airport and runway from the integral worldwide airport database, entering atmospheric and configuration information, and pressing COMPUTE. What could be easier? And if you need to compute obstacle clearance, here is good news. Calculations are performed for up to 25 obstacles on each runway, as well as SID required climb gradients. Though obstacles and SIDs aren't included in the airport database, the capability is provided to store and retrieve data that the user enters manually. In addition to takeoff and landing analysis, aircraft weight and balance may be computed. You may enter the aircraft Basic Operating Weight, seat locations, and other storage locations in the aircraft database. When you compute weight and balance, the center of gravity limits are checked for both forward and aft loading, so you will know you are with limits, no matter where the passengers sit. JetMiserTM is our newest feature, and you're going to like this one. It is designed for only one purpose, and that is to SAVE YOU MONEY! Pure and simple. JetMiser uses the concept of fuel tankering to minimize your total fuel cost for a multi-stop trip. Depending on the specifics of the trip, such as length of flight legs and relative fuel cost at each stop in sequence, JetMiser can save you thousands of dollars on a single trip. And with fuel prices in the stratosphere, that's something that most flight departments can really use. One Click Weather is a feature that allows you to view any of over 2,200 weather graphic images, downloaded over the internet from the National Weather Service and NOAA weather data servers. In addition, METAR and TAF reports are available from over 6,300 airports. All it takes is selecting the report or map that you want to see, and clicking the Retrieve button. It's a great tool for getting the big picture while planning the flight! With its integrated database features, AFMatic is the perfect complement to the on-board performance computer in the large cabin Gulfstreams. The worldwide airport database, in combination with the obstacle and SID data that the user can enter, provides unparalleled coverage and ease of use. Wherever you go, you'll have the data you need, without searching in Airport Facilities Directories or calling airport managers. And to make it even more convenient, you can search the database for airports, and even find weather alternates within a specified distance and having a specified minimum runway length. There's never been an easier way to compute Gulfstream takeoff and landing performance. AFMatic is kept current with an annual update subscription providing updates every 28 days to the worldwide airport database, the aircraft data provided by the manufacturer, and the software.
