Sigmet Plotter
Plot SIGMETs instantly
Free · Designed for iPad
Visualize SIGMET areas, routes, FMC LEGS and oceanic tracks instantly. Convert raw text into clear maps and enhance situational awareness and CRM in the flight deck
SIGMET Plotter converts operational SIGMET text into instant visual situational awareness.
During flight planning, SIGMET information is often received as long blocks of text inside briefing PDFs or ACARS messages. Interpreting this information requires mentally plotting affected areas and comparing them with the planned route, which can be time-consuming and prone to error.
SIGMET Plotter simplifies this process by transforming text-based SIGMET information into a clear visual representation on a map.
How it works
Copy SIGMET text directly from your flight briefing PDF
Or take a photo of SIGMET messages received via ACARS
Paste or scan the text into the app — no manual typing required
The app automatically plots SIGMET areas and overlays your planned route, allowing you to quickly assess potential weather impact before flight.
Key features
Visual plotting of SIGMET areas on a map
Route overlay for immediate impact assessment
Works offline after data input
No subscriptions and no ads
No external data feeds or accounts required
Designed for real operational flight planning workflows
Typical use cases
Pre-flight/ Inflight situational awareness
Reviewing multiple SIGMETs from long briefing packs
Interpreting ACARS text messages without integrated visualization
Quick route-versus-weather checks before departure
SIGMET Plotter is designed as a complementary tool for pilots who want fast and intuitive visualization of SIGMET information, especially in regions where integrated SIGMET mapping is limited or unavailable.
