WeatherSpork is the strategic all-purpose weather planning application for aviators that will nicely complement the flight planning app(s) you normally use in the cockpit. WeatherSpork includes: * Visualization tools such as a Meteogram, a vertical depiction of the weather over the next three days at an airport. * The Route Profile view is also a vertical depiction that lets you quickly see the impact of wind and hazardous weather along your proposed route of flight. * The Grid view coupled with the "Wheels Up Departure Advisor" lets you choose the most favorable time to fly. After an initial 14-day trial, WeatherSpork requires an in-app purchase or annual subscription. WeatherSpork is not a substitute for a standard weather briefing as described in the FAA Aviation Weather Handbook (https://www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/FAA-H-8083-28_FAA_Web.pdf).
