WeatherSpork vs WindLimit

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).

WindLimit gives pilots a fast, clear answer to one question before every takeoff and landing: is this wind within limits? Enter your runway, wind direction, and speed, or pull live METAR for any of 12,700+ U.S. airports, and WindLimit instantly computes your headwind and crosswind components, checks them against your aircraft's limits, and flags an exceedance the moment you're outside them. FEATURES • Live METAR for public, private, and military airports nationwide, with automatic magnetic variation correction • Every runway end's crosswind and head/tailwind side by side, with the best end badged • Manual and ATIS entry when no live weather feed is available • Runway-aware exceedance alerts, keyed to the runway you actually pick • Set your own max demonstrated crosswind and personal minimums per aircraft • Clean, glanceable compass display with drag-to-set wind input • Light and dark themes WindLimit is a free, ad-supported informational tool. A one-time in-app purchase removes ads and unlocks: • Multiple saved aircraft profiles • Nearby airports with live wind, best runway, crosswind, and a within-limits read for each • Favorite and recently used airports IMPORTANT WindLimit is an informational aid only. It is not a source of official weather, performance, or limitation data, and must not be used as the sole basis for any operational decision. Always verify winds, runway conditions, and crosswind limitations against official sources: current ATIS/METAR, NOTAMs, and your aircraft manufacturer's or operator's current manuals and limitations. The pilot in command remains solely responsible for every operational decision. Designed by pilots.
