I just use a single k3s install on a single bare metal from Hetzner or OVH, works like charm, very clean deployments, much more stable than docker-compose and 1/10 of the cost of AWS or similar.

Those are all excellent questions and suggestions. I recommend discussing them with our customer support team.

Typically, flights do not deviate from their planned routes for non-severe turbulence levels. It's safer and simpler to have passengers remain seated with the seatbelt sign on. Our model considers weather inputs alongside real-time dat

Good question, turning on the seatbelt sign in this case is a good start.

What's the biz model ?

by oron 2y ago
Yes, satellite internet is now standard on many Western airlines. In addition to this, we utilize weather data and real-time turbulence reports to predict Clear Air Turbulence (CAT) events across the entire sky, even where iPads are current

Thank you. We are actively working to onboard as many airlines as possible, and partnering with Delta would be highly beneficial. The more data we have, the safer and more efficient flights become. Regarding the integration with Jeppesen, w

Our solution is compatible with Airbus, Boeing, or any other aircraft. It's important to note that connecting to the aircraft systems can be more expensive and add maintenance and complexity costs for the airline.

We have a partnership with Jeppesen, a Boeing company, for their Flight Deck Pro product. With this collaboration, users can access our data layer and predictions, and also report real-time turbulence within their app. While I'm not ex

Five hours is a bit long; you can choose in the app how far ahead you would like to see. We typically recommend looking two hours ahead. This way, for the initial two hours, you'll have some data that may be partially outdated but stil

More predictable routes and minimizing encounters with CAT can indeed help reduce fuel consumption while maintaining safety. This is a relatively small saving for each flight which can add up to a big chunk at the end of the year.

Some of the most severe injuries occur among crew members because they must rush to secure passengers in their seats, often being the last to fasten their own seat belts. Additionally, when turbulence reaches a certain intensity, the aircra

nice work! where is the data coming from?

by oron 2y ago
It depends on the provider that the airline has partnered with, I suppose. We don't manage the satellite connectivity, so I can't provide specifics on that. However, in areas with fewer ground stations, disruptions are more likely

Can run in the background, pilot can use any other app meanwhile. Or just leave the iPad with screen off. Our app keeps recording and alerting as long as you are in flight.

The second is closer to reality , initially let pilots (lots of them) label flight events and after landing take all data and build the algorithm around their initial labels. The when there are more pilots let them label agree / disagr

Valid observation: turbulence patterns differ from pilot tapping and can be recognized and disregarded. While complete elimination of false positives isn't always feasible, employing various techniques allows us to significantly minimi

Employee of SkyPath here. We are trying to give a solution to this problem dedicated thread here : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40828180

Good comment! our algorithms take into account time of report as recorded by the aircraft so latency or offline aircraft is not an issue. Surprisingly most CAT phenomena is pretty stable and can stay in the same area for hours at time.
