Jacobson Flare and WINGMATE announced today that they have entered a partnership that will see their respective technologies complement each other.
The two will combine to provide evidence-based feedback on approach and landing accuracy.
According to the press release issued, the partnership will create "the perfect tool for flight training organisations, regional airlines, agricultural aviation, aircraft rental and charter companies, aerobatic training and competition and, of course, recreational and professional pilots at all levels."
WINGMATE is the invention of data guru Peter Wezenbeek, formerly a control systems engineer at Formula One team Renault and currrently race tactician for Matt Hall. It is designed to monitor the aeroplane in flight, recording data directly onto an SD card.
Jacobson Flare is a technique for making consistent, measured landings that are based on mathematics rather than judgement. It has been developed over time by former Qantas pilot Captain David Jacobson.
"Now, these two powerful tools combine the unique Jacobson Flare landing parameters with the leading-edge technology of WINGMATE, to provide incomparable evidence-based feedback on approach and landing accuracy," the press release continues.
"This will greatly enrich WINGMATE’s Landing report of recorded flights, and endow pilots and operators in any branch of aviation with finite results, to review and refine levels of competency, which are now required by aviation authorities."
More information on the collaboration can be found on the Jacobson Flare website and the WINGMATE website.
