Description

As a pilot, you don't care about the weather a few days from now.
You need the current wind direction, at the nearest airfield, for the best runway.
You need the current barometer reading for your altimeter.
You need to know if the field is still VFR.
And you need it fast.

PilotAWOS puts the National Weather Service's automated observation stations on your wrist.

Instantly see the most recent reading from a nearby AWOS station.

A watch-only app that doesn't waste space on your phone
Works wherever you have data connectivity
Has a full suite of watch-face complications

Free to use; no features are paywalled. Contributions are optional and voluntary only.

Data is fetched directly from the NWS, without any intermediate backends or big-brother analytics collection.
Your location is used only to ask the NWS for nearby stations, and isn't tracked.

What’s New

Version 1.3

When not using GPS, weather is fetched using a background task, which should save battery
Wind barb deemphasized slightly
Minor textual changes

Very cool tool!

This is great! I love that I can get the AWOS for airports near me. I would give it five starts if: 1) It was available on the iphone and 2) I could pick/enter smaller airports that I want to fly to that have a station. OS9 for example.

I love that this was a a university project written by a pilot! Well done!

***Will you please make a version for the iPhone?!

Developer Response ,

Interesting that you would like a phone version!
I hadn't considered that before, but now I shall.

Whether I am able to spend time on new features depends entirely on app uptake, so please tell all your pilot friends about it. For tiny apps like this it makes a big difference.

Thank you for trying PilotAWOS!
