Your Essential Aviation Weather Companion
METAR Pilot delivers real-time METAR weather data directly to your iPhone and Apple Watch, making critical flight planning information instantly accessible. Designed by pilots for pilots, this powerful aviation tool ensures you always have the weather intelligence you need for safe and informed flight decisions.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
While developing the app, we do our best to attempt to fetch METAR data for nearby/selected airports every 10 to 15 minutes, but several factors can interfere with this schedule. WatchOS functionality may block background refreshes if the watch is in "Low Power Mode" or if the battery is getting low. Additionally, since the watch uses the internet connection from your paired iPhone, a weak LTE/3G signal may prevent data from updating. If you see outdated data, tap any complication to launch the watch app and guarantee a forced data refresh.
