Honeywell and Universal announce integration for in-flight connectivity and mission management

PHOENIX - Honeywell will integrate flight planning and trip support data from Universal Weather and Aviation Inc., the leading provider of mission management services, into Honeywell Forge for Business Aviation. Honeywell Forge offers enterprise performance management solutions that serve the aircraft, building, industrial, worker and cybersecurity segments. Currently, Honeywell Forge is being used to process data from more than 10,000 aircraft, AviationPros reports.

The Military & Aerospace Electronics take:

30 March 2022 -With this new integration, flight departments can now generate Universal Flight Plans, Aircraft Performance Group (APG) Runway Analysis reports, and APG Weight & Balance performance calculations within Universal’s uvGO Mission Management Platform and automatically sync related data with their Honeywell Forge Dashboard. This allows ground crews to ensure complete mission readiness within a single familiar platform. Similarly, flight plans created and filed by Universal’s flight planning experts on missions managed by Universal Trip Support will also be synced with Honeywell Forge.

Through Universal, customers will also have access to additional mission management services, including trip support, mission feasibility guidance and regulatory services.

“Universal Weather and Aviation has been a highly respected and well-known international trip provider for nearly 50 years. Our collaboration with Universal will allow Honeywell to strengthen the services we offer our customers,” said Philippe Chevrier, president, Services and Connectivity, Honeywell Aerospace. “We have been actively listening to the needs of both pilots and operators and are continuously looking at ways to simplify the flight management experience of business aviation customers.”
