Who it's for

Made for pilots, and those who want to be

Private and GA pilots

Check the weather at departure, destination and alternate, set limits that match your rating and let AirportWX tell you when they're crossed.

Student pilots and instructors

The decoded view sits right next to the raw report, so reading a METAR or TAF becomes second nature. The built-in guide explains every code.

Data

Where the weather comes from

AirportWX shows the official METAR and TAF reports that airports publish, and refreshes them automatically. Airport data such as runways comes from OurAirports and is updated every month. Airfields without a weather station show the report of the nearest airport that has one, clearly marked.

AirportWX is for information only. Always use official sources for flight planning, such as a weather briefing, NOTAMs and ATC. You are responsible for every flight decision.

Free to download
