Press Release: DTC DUAT On Your SmartPhone
Posted by Matthew Justice on Nov 30, 2007Carry Wx Update, Flight Plan Filing Ability 24/7
As pilots' capabilities are extended by technology, so too are their flight bags expanded by gadgets. DTC DUAT is now expanding pilots' capability and cutting down on equipment: the best of both worlds.
Intended as means of updating a standard briefing from the web site, a Beta version of DUAT mobile is now available for mobile phone users. The mobile version allows pilots to check weather graphics, get METARs/TAFs for departure/destination, file flight plans, check their flight plan status and close VFR flight plans, all from their web-enabled smartphones.
The DTC DUAT portal opens in a variety of web-enabled phones and PDAs, acting like the computer-based DUAT portal already in use: access code, password and tail number - and you're on your way.
DTC DUAT produced this breakthrough in response to popular demand, and has a series of enhancements already planned as add-ons, including the ability to get a standard weather briefing and check TFRs. (For now, continue requesting an FAA Certified Standard Briefing for each flight.).
It's a free service; just log on to www.DUAT.com/mobile
