World Fuel Services (WFS) announced today that its new iPad app will seamlessly integrate Aircraft Performance Group’s (APG) iPreflight framework. This integration will put flight planning, runway analysis, and weight and balance data together in one efficient, time‐saving app.

“From the beginning, our mission with this app was to merge our flight planning design with the ‘best of the best’ in our industry and, as a result, maximize efficiency and accuracy,” said Jeff Briand, vice president, global trip support for WFS. “APG is the ideal partner.”

APG has been providing best‐in‐class takeoff, landing, and weight and balance products and services for airlines and corporate operators since 1999.

Their iPreFlight framework provides runway analysis and weight and balance data, without the need for an internet connection. The new WFS app will streamline the flight planning process so pilots can complete critical performance calculations, from anywhere. Pilots will also receive expert take‐off and landing analyses, all so they can better adapt to changing flight conditions and requirements.

“Pilots will be able to access valuable runway analysis and weight and balance information right inside this one flight planning tool, making it possible to recalculate and update data without the need to switch from app to app,” added Briand. “This integration will offer improved accuracy and safety for every flight plan.”
