Tamarack Aerospace Group has rolled out an enhanced aircraft performance data update in collaboration with ForeFlight, improving real-world performance modeling for CitationJets equipped with Tamarack Active Winglets.
The update went live automatically for ForeFlight users on February 3 and incorporates higher-resolution performance datasets derived from Tamarack’s expanding global fleet of Active Winglet-equipped aircraft. The additional data represents thousands of real-world flight hours and is intended to improve the accuracy of fuel burn, time en route, climb, and overall performance planning.
The rollout applies to the full Citation family, including the Cessna 525 series, 525A series, and 525B series. According to ForeFlight, the refined datasets are expected to reduce the need for pilots to apply manual performance biases within aircraft profiles.
“In the past, users may have added performance biases to their aircraft profiles in ForeFlight to better align their flight planning to the performance they see in the air,” said Jordan Hovland, aircraft performance data manager at Jeppesen ForeFlight. “With this update, customers should see the baseline performance figures more closely align with reality, reducing any need for biases.”
Tamarack said its original performance data was fully certified and FAA-approved, but the expanded dataset reflects a larger body of operational evidence gathered from in-service aircraft. Tamarack said it has more than 200 Active Winglet installations worldwide.
Separately, ForeFlight and Tamarack said they will host a joint training event with the Citation Jet Pilots Association at ForeFlight’s Austin, Texas facility, from February 25 to 27, focusing on performance modeling and flight planning for Active Winglet-equipped CitationJets.
