Your trusted bird’s-eye view

Our trusted aviation weather app displays the intelligence you need to fly safe and sure.

Our WxBrief app delivers accredited, meticulous in-cockpit weather data, clearly presented to significantly improve tactical decision making.

DTN APAC specialises in global aviation weather intelligence delivered in an easy-to-visualise format. Our solutions are developed in close consultation with the aviation industry to serve your in-flight requirements.

The WxBrief app is a decision support system customised to each flight, providing all required operational meteorological information in one place.

Pilots can request a flight pack by entering their flight number and the data is downloaded and processed typically within 30-40 seconds. The app updates in real-time during the flight where in-flight Wi-Fi is available, and Wi-Fi use within the cockpit is authorised.

Once a flight pack is downloaded it’s available throughout the entire flight, using the most recent meteorological data for the estimated position of the aircraft. The app requires no internet connectivity whilst in flight but can be updated if onboard Wi-Fi is available. Backup solutions (such as text only information) can be made available in the case of very poor connectivity.

No matter where you are, we’ve got you covered.

  • Flight plan plotted and waypoints
  • SIGWX charts Graphical SIGMET FL390/340 Clear Air Turbulence
