Universal Weather and Aviation, Inc.

Fiquei extremamente impressionado com os serviços prestados pela Universal Weather and Aviation, que fez o plano de vôo do Legacy para a Embraer. Vejam o site da empresa. Vejam o que ela faz em relação a plano de vôos:

Vejam aqui um exemplo de um plano de vôo preparado por esta empresa. Parece que esta coisa de planos de vôo é coisa séria, não?

Puxa! E pensar que os pilotos do Legacy dispensaram tudo isso, e foram direto para Manaus!

PS: Mais recentemente mudei de opinião sobre o plano de voo do Legacy e passei a considerá-lo um dos principais fatores contribuintes do acidente. Vejam As diversas altitudes previstas para o Legacy.
