The weather map

The weather map

• Adaptive weather map: flight category, wind barbs and runway layout — zoom in for more METAR detail.

• SIGMET/AIRMET areas and pilot reports (PIREP): turbulence and icing reported by other aircraft, color-coded by severity.

• Winds & temperatures aloft layer: standard wind barbs at your flight level, with temperatures and a forecast time slider (Premium).

• Press and hold anywhere on the map to drop a pin: coordinates, position from the nearest airport, nearby airports, magnetic variation and sunrise/sunset.

Route briefing – an advisory go/no-go for the whole flight

Route briefing – an advisory go/no-go for the whole flight

• Save your regular routes: departure, waypoints (navaids or any point on the map), destination and alternate.

• Advisory go/no-go for each airport at its own time — departure at ETD, destination and alternate at ETA — against your minimums, crosswind and runway-closure NOTAMs.

• En-route SIGMET/AIRMET and PIREPs along the route, with flight time corrected for winds aloft.

• Possible departure windows over the next 24 hours, with a push notification when a GO window opens.

• The verdicts are automated advisories based on forecasts and the limits you set — you, as pilot in command, make the go/no-go decision.

• Route map, alternate finder, saved offline briefings and PDF export.

• One saved route, the route map and the current flight categories are free; the go/no-go briefing, the departure window, saving and exporting briefings are part of Premium.

Weather timeline and personal minimums

Weather timeline and personal minimums

• METAR history and the TAF forecast on one time axis with a NOW marker — tap any segment to read the decoded wind, temperature, visibility and ceiling.

• Personal minimums: set your own ceiling, visibility and crosswind limits; periods below them are highlighted right on the timeline.

• TAF verification: see how the previous TAF actually verified against the observed METARs.

NOTAM timeline – what is in force when you fly

NOTAM timeline – what is in force when you fly

• Every NOTAM on one time axis, together with the TAF and the crosswind on the best open runway.

• Pick your departure time to see exactly what is in force — schedules (D) and estimated end times (EST) included.

• Critical NOTAMs highlighted; filter by category; runway closures, ILS, lighting and navaid outages at a glance.

Runways, crosswind and airport diagram

Runways, crosswind and airport diagram

• Headwind and crosswind components for every runway, with the runway best suited to the wind.

• Per-runway crosswind timeline — a color-coded bar for recent and forecast crosswind, with your personal limit marked.

• Airport Diagram: runways, taxiways and aprons drawn from open map data.

Raw, decoded and in plain language

Raw, decoded and in plain language

• METAR and TAF raw and fully decoded, with the observation age always visible.

• METAR, TAF and NOTAM in plain language — flowing summaries, no shorthand required.

• Shareable PDF and text reports for an airport, your favorites or a whole group (Premium).

Favorites, groups and Weather Alerts

Favorites, groups and Weather Alerts

• Keep your airports in Favorites and Groups — the weather of every station side by side.

• Favorites, Groups, Routes and Settings sync across your devices with iCloud.

Important: WX Aviation Weather is for situational awareness. It is not an official briefing source and must not be the sole basis of a flight decision. Go/no-go verdicts and departure windows are automated advisories — the pilot in command makes every decision. If METAR, TAF, NOTAM or SIGMET data is missing, it is unavailable at the source. Always obtain an official pre-flight briefing.
