Colt International has
introduced the latest addition to its rapidly expanding Trip Support solution.
Regional Trip Support
(RTS) is a new flexible, bundle of services and cloud technologies designed to help companies drive standard processes and gain transparency across all international
and regional trips.
Four elements comprise RTS - online flight planning technology, datalink, aircraft performance
tools and full-service regional flight support. The solution is sold either as a packaged offering or a la carte.
Included in RTS is the fall release of OFP - Colt’s online flight planning tool.
The new OFP includes numerous
improvements and highlights two significant new enhancements, an entry version named OFP- File & Go and the
integration of Aircraft Performance Group’s Runway Analysis and Weight & Balance tools.
With RTS, corporate flight departments and aviation companies can streamline operations and gain visibility of all
trips by standardizing technology and processes. They can also seamlessly integrate Colt’s services into their
flight department’s service delivery with options such as Active Flight Watch, where specially trained staff monitor
your flights 24/7 and help pilots mitigate issues and delays.
In OFP - File & Go, users can set up fuel, graphically build a navigation log, and then file the plan with
ATC. Just fuel, file and go. Currently, it is offered free with a Colt account. As needs expand, File & Go users can upgrade to
the full version of OFP.
OFP’s second key addition is a cloud-based integration with APG’s Runway Analysis and Weight & Balance tools.
Using APG’s leading aircraft performance technology in OFP, pilots can gain a detailed understanding of the
aircraft performance envelope in different conditions. For example, users can calculate an aircraft’s maximum
safe payload, so they do not leave any payload behind. When all services and technologies are combined with
Colt’s existing Datalink solution, dispatchers, schedulers, and aviation managers have a regional solution that can
help them operate safer and maximize each flight’s value. |
