getWindsAloft

Fetch winds-aloft data (direction, speed, temperature) from 3,000–39,000 ft for altitude and route selection, plus the derived freezing level.

ProblemWhat it solves

The problem this tool solves

Picking a cruise altitude by hand from the FB product is tedious, and the 0 °C crossing has to be interpolated between reported levels. The Copilot returns the wind/temp stack for your route with the freezing level already derived — and says "unknown" when the station does not report enough temperatures to locate it.

Example interaction

Pilot asks

Winds aloft over KDEN at 12,000?

Copilot responds

12,000 ft: 280° at 34 kt, −8°C. 9,000 ft: 270° at 22 kt, −2°C. 6,000 ft: 260° at 15 kt, +4°C. Freezing level ~8,000 ft MSL (interpolated between the reported 6,000 ft and 9,000 ft levels). Tailwind component favors the higher altitude eastbound.
