WxPlan - Smarter Weather & Flight Planning, tailored for Australian pilots.
Get unrestricted access to official NAIPS weather - completely free, with no ads and no sign-in required.
WxPlan gives all users free access to essential tools including Location Briefs, Area Briefs, First/Last Light, Wind & Temperature Profiles, Restricted Area Briefs, RAIM Prediction, and all Charts.
Smart ETA-based TAF analysis:
Simply enter your destination and ETA, or import your run sheet - WxPlan extracts the TAF lines relevant to your arrival, considers TAF3 requirements, buffers, Part 121 or 91 rules and utilises your alternate minima to determine any weather conditions that may trigger holding or an alternate. View detailed TAF and METAR wind components for each runway.
NOTAMs Simplified:
View active and inactive NOTAMs relevant to your ETA. The NOTAM Analyser delivers easy-to-read summaries, while smart filters let you focus on the categories that matter to you.
Holding fuel calculator:
Instantly calculate your maximum holding time and latest exit point, whether you're in the hold or planning ahead, based on forecast or real-time data.
Alternate minima made easy:
Use our built-in Category alternate minima for CAT A to D aircraft, or bulk-import your own. Switch between Category and individual Custom Destination/Alternate minima to suit your needs. Need to be more specific? Import and switch between individual runway minima with support for multiple variations to each runway minima.
Auto-updating METAR, SPECI and ATIS:
WxPlan refreshes airport weather with automatic METAR/SPECI updates and notifies you as soon as a new ATIS is issued.
Flexible storage and caching:
Going offline? Cache charts, Met Briefs, and your entire day’s flying straight from your run sheet. Store individual briefs or import full rosters, and update them all with a single tap.

Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
PREFERRED ALTERNATES:
Add your regular alternates in Settings and a new button appears on the roster import screen. Tap it to include your alternates with your nominated flight time added to the destination's ETA.
Deselect any airport to leave its alternate out when Add Alternates is pressed
Switch the A beside an alternate to a D to use destination minima instead
Alternate assessments by default run against Alternate Minima and are saved with a * in the title
On any saved brief that has a preferred alternate saved, an "Add Alternate" button now appears on the results screen whenever holding or an alternate is suggested. Simply pick your alternates, run, and they save alongside the destination using alternate minima.
FASTER NOTAM ANALYSIS:
For iOS 27 or later, long press NOTAM Analysis for OVERALL Analysis. This gives a fast and general overview of all active NOTAMs on arrival and will flag any that it deems extra important. Easily switch back to individual NOTAM Analysis at any time.
NOTAM AWARENESS AT A GLANCE:
Mark All and Unmark All on the NOTAM page
A green glow around the NOTAM button once every NOTAM has been marked as read.
Red exclamation marks either side of the button when a NOTAM is flagged, handled independently.
Coming back to a saved brief, if the glow has vanished after an update, a new NOTAM has been added.
KEYWORD SEARCH:
Looking for a specific runway, taxiway or word? Type it into the NOTAM filters Keyword Search function and only the NOTAMs containing it are shown.
NEW ATIS PUSH NOTIFICATIONS:
WxPlan now checks for a new ATIS roughly every 10 minutes while backgrounded or with the device locked. A push notification will be sent when one is found and the app will show a badge, so no new ATIS is missed. In the foreground, set your own check interval to the minute and receive in-app alerting.
FIRST AND LAST LIGHT:
Arrival Time on the results page is now tappable and shows official first and last light times.
PINNED CHART DOWNLOADS:
Select the pin and press Download All to grab your pinned charts only. Less waiting, quicker out the door.
