Pacific Coastal Airlines has selected Latitude Technologies’ state-of-the-art  Iridium based flight tracking systems for installation in it’s seaplane fleet based in Port Hardy, B.C. Each of the Pacific Coastal seaplanes is being equipped with a Latitude SkyNode® S100 flight tracking/data messaging unit. The airline, a well established name on the Canadian West coast, will also procure a secure network interface to Latitude’s LWS Sentinel™ web-based flight tracking and data management solution. As part of the total package, Latitude has included its proprietary flight profile algorithms for float planes.  This algorithm will greatly enhance Pacific Coastal’s knowledge of each flight on a real time basis so that unusual characteristics can be immediately detected and investigated.  Installation will include specialized annunciators to enhance the messaging capability of the flight tracking solution.
