Coded Reports
Decoding of runway report (8-digit-code) found in METAR aeronautical weather reports for adverse runway conditions.
NEW: Decoding of Turbulence and Icing-Codes.
Weather
Get TAF- and METAR-Data directly from National Weather Service (NWS). Select airport from list of more than 6000 airports.
Hold Over Time
Shows hold over time-guidelines for commonly used de-icing fluid types (I-IV) according to selected weather conditions.
Meter Flight Levels (New design)
Shows flight level conversion table: Meters (STD) to Feet (STD) for China.
m-Tables
Build your own height-conversion-table from meters (QFE) to feet (QNH).
Fuel Calculations (New module!)
Calculate fuel uplift-, fueling- or fuel check-data and convert different units.

What’s New
Version 4.3.3
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
For some reason a buggy 4.3.2-Version was released. This update should fix these problems.
Ratings and Reviews
Fuel density
Good app, but unable to change the fuel density for fuel calculations.
Handy pilot weather tool
This pilot tool is very handy to quickly pull up the METARs and TAFs for airports you frequent. Although its not a complete toolbox I use it frequently to determine WX for the go/no-go decision.
The wind calculator is handy also, no need to check the wind component chart any longer.
The runway conditions tool does not work at my airports.
GREAT for international airline pilot
As an international airline pilot, I have used the Feet/Meters conversion in Russian airspace, and the Xwind calculator numerous times. The Runway Report decoder has been useful on occasion to decode SNOWTAM and runway braking. The De-ice/Anti-ice calculator, although not strictly legal to use by airline procedure, would be a great tool for cross-checking Holdover time.
These features alone would rate 5 stars and in addition, PToolbox can update airport weather & forecast via WIFI. As a free app., it is a service to the pilot community. THANKS!!
Future considerations --- pls include Feet/Meters conversion for Chinese Airspace.
