amazing! it seems like much of the innovation on the flight deck is happening in iPad apps.

i'm curious, in the beginning, before you had so many users of the app, how did you convince pilots/airlines to install SkyPath before it had enough user-generated turbulence data for its ML model? it almost feels like a chicken-and-the-egg problem: you need enough reports before it's useful around the world at all imaginable air routes, or maybe there's enough air/wind data. interesting stuff!

We had to give incentives for the first airline partners and give the product for free for a long trial period at the early years to be able to have initial installs. It was a long ride including Covid which came in the middle and didn't help. In the last years since we have several big airline partners this is less of a problem.

The effect on the route is immediate. There is no installation or integration so the moment you deploy (with a reasonable fleet size) you have data. Those that where quick to understand the concept embraced technology very fast even without initial data set in the route
