Weather and NOTAMs
S4A Smart VIEW+ provides real time alerts and advises when specific thresholds are exceeded. The module significantly increases situational awareness and enables users to immediately and proactively respond to any potential disruptions.
Tight integration with Smart MET and Smart NOTAM MANAGER allows the display of NOTAMs, highlighting of predefined keywords and preview significant Weather.
Weather is where situational awareness is won or lost, and Smart VIEW+ treats it accordingly. Within the basic setup, customers receive standard weather layers generated by S4A's own map generator from BUFR and GRIB data - Significant Weather, Upper Air Data, and Icing. From there, the layer catalogue grows to match your ambition: through integration with third-party weather providers such as DTN, internal airline sources, or other external sources, Smart VIEW+ can display radar weather, satellite imagery, volcanic ash, turbulence, SIGMETs, AIRMETs, dew point, icing, TAF/METAR, lightning, and much more. Multiple sources can stand behind the weather picture, with the airline deciding which feeds which layer - the same multi-source, rule-driven flexibility that runs through our entire integration approach.
