WSI yesterday introduced Pilotbrief Mobile, which provides the company’s aviation weather and hazard information in a format compatible with mobile devices such as the BlackBerry, Treo and iPhone. Costing $9.95 per month, the service does not require installation of an application and is compatible with the Internet browsers found on most mobile phones.

“With Pilotbrief Mobile, we have extended the convenience and capabilities of Pilotbrief Online beyond the briefing room to the flight line,” said Paul Hathaway, director of product management. “Pilots who have used Pilotbrief Pro or Pilotbrief Online to plan their flight can quickly check their route for changing weather conditions on their mobile phones while waiting for passengers to arrive. Pilotbrief Mobile means that wherever you are, you can get the aviation-quality weather you rely on.”
