If you are going to sell the data to individuals, please provide the under writer that you will use for insurance purposes. Good idea, but how would anyone legally use it? Part 91 maybe anything else is a liability. Like the idea, just not sure if one looks at the legal risks it would be worth it for anything other than part 91 ops. If one can even find a 91 CL-65 operator that does not use a licensed flight planning service... Just sayin
Deep breaths man, deep breaths. He said right there its for planning purposes.
It happens every day where someone says "I need to know how many people can go, right now." or you're asked if you can take a jumpseater before you've even walked on the plane or done any paperwork.
Looks like a useful tool to be able to give an answer to keep the show moving along while you work out your actual dispatching W&B data.
