Why choose SIGMA?
SIGMA is a quality service that presents high-resolution turbulence data and SIGMET weather hazards such as Icing, Thunderstorms, Volcanic ash, etc., to the pilots in the cockpit. The service keeps track of the aircraft position and 4D-trajectory to provide tactical updates on meteorological hazards related to the actual route in the FMS. This means the service will automatically pick up changes to the route and present relevant weather along the flight path.
