Dassault Falcon has introduced FalconWays, a flight-planning application designed to help pilots determine and implement the most flight-efficient routes. The app blends a variety of data in its algorithms, including aircraft performance, weight, and weather to determine the optimum flight route for fuel burn savings.

In a demonstration at the airframer’s chalet this week at NBAA-BACE, Cyrille Grimald—project manager for FalconWays—gave AIN a rundown of the system’s capabilities. Using the example of an eight-hour Falcon 6X flight between Paris and Mumbai, he designed an optimized flight route using the app, which is compatible with Jeppesen and Universal flight-planning tools.
