Universal Weather and Aviation, Inc. has updated its online flight planning software, UVflightplanner.com. Clients now have the option of having a flight plan calculated with a GPS RAIM (Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring) prediction analysis (including oceanic).

Universal's GPS RAIM prediction analysis has been approved under the Federal Aviation Administration's Advisory Circular 90-100A. On July 1, 2009, the FAA made it mandatory to perform a pre-departure GPS RAIM for sole GPS operators filing US area navigation (RNAV) routes (Q and T routes), RNAV standard terminal arrivals (RNAV STARs) and RNAV departure procedures (RNAV ODPs and RNAV SIDs).
