FlyWeatherMETAR
Live METAR & Flight Weather
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Smarter flight-weather decisions, from departure to destination. Get route weather, personal minimums, runway recommendations, decoded weather, and smarter alerts.
FlyWeatherMETAR puts real-time aviation weather in your pocket. Built for pilots, students, and aviation enthusiasts, it turns raw METAR and TAF data into a clean, at-a-glance briefing — and answers what the codes never do: is this within MY minimums?
FLIGHT WEATHER, INSTANTLY
Enter one ICAO code or several at once for an immediate flight-category read: VFR, MVFR, IFR, or LIFR, color-coded for a quick decision. Wind, visibility, temperature, altimeter, and cloud layers are laid out clearly, with the report timestamp so you know how current the data is. A trend marker shows whether conditions are improving, deteriorating, or steady, and remarks are decoded into plain language with hazards flagged.
YOUR MINIMUMS, NOT JUST THE CATEGORY
Define your own limits — visibility, ceiling, wind, gust, crosswind, tailwind, temperature, density altitude — as named profiles. Every airport you check is judged against the profile you're flying today and returns a plain go, caution, or no-go verdict, naming the limiting factor.
PLAN THE WHOLE FLIGHT
Build a briefing with a departure, a destination, and three alternates — takeoff, enroute, and destination — each with live conditions side by side. See the weather along the corridor between your airports as a green-to-red picture with the worst stretch marked, and read the forecast as a decoded TAF timeline instead of a wall of code.
DIVERT OPTIONS WHEN PLANS CHANGE
Nearby airports are ranked by how usable they are right now — your minimums verdict or flight category first, then distance — with bearing on every row. One tap routes you there and updates your briefing.
SEE IT ON THE MAP
Plot conditions instead of reading them: station markers colored by flight category, wind, and ceiling/visibility shading, each toggled on its own. Tap any station for its details.
AIRPORT DETAILS AT A GLANCE
ICAO, IATA, and FAA identifiers, field elevation, magnetic declination, tower and beacon status, and public/private use. A runway diagram shows every heading against the current wind and recommends the best runway, so crosswind and headwind components are obvious at a glance. Digital ATIS where published, plus a sunrise/sunset arc.
FAVORITES, BUILT FOR HOW YOU FLY
Save the airports you check most and see their flight category live on one dashboard. Set a home airport for one-tap access and tag airports by the role they play in your flight. Recently viewed airports stay readable offline, clearly marked as potentially stale.
STAY AHEAD OF CHANGING CONDITIONS
Turn on notifications for your home airport at a frequency that fits your flying, from hourly to once a day. Add alerts that fire on the conditions you care about, and get told when the forecast diverges from what was predicted. Home-screen widgets keep your favorites in view without opening the app.
