METAR Plot vs WX Aviation Weather

METAR Plot for Apple Watch displays station models (plots) as well as raw METARs for most airports worldwide, using current METAR data.  The app features two stations lists: nearby and user-defined. While the entire station database can be used offline (to add station or lookup nearby station), an internet connection is required to load METAR data. Data is updated automatically. Preferences can be set for type of flight rules and units (visibility, temperature, and pressure). Options for observation time in LT or UTC as well as sort order of user list. The app works completely independent from your iPhone and includes complications for watch faces with rectangular and circular types.

WX Aviation Weather gives pilots fast aviation weather for 50,000+ airports worldwide — METAR, TAF, NOTAM, SIGMET and PIREP, both raw and fully decoded. Built by and for pilots, it turns raw reports into clear, easy-to-read information: runway wind components, ceilings and visibility at a glance, and PDF or text reports you can share in seconds. ROUTE BRIEFING (Premium) - Save your regular routes: departure, waypoints (navaids or any point on the map), destination and alternate - Advisory go/no-go for each airport at its own time — departure at ETD, destination and alternate at ETA — against your minimums, crosswind and runway-closure NOTAMs - En-route SIGMET/AIRMET and PIREPs along the route, with flight time corrected for winds aloft - Possible departure windows over the next 24 hours, with a push when a GO window opens - Route map, alternate finder, saved offline briefings and PDF export WEATHER ALERTS (Premium subscription) - Push notifications the moment conditions change at the airports you monitor: flight category, personal minimums, crosswind, TAF go/no-go and NOTAM (runway closures, ILS, lighting or navaid outages). WEATHER & REPORTS - METAR, TAF, NOTAM and SIGMET — raw and decoded - Weather timeline — METAR history and the TAF forecast on one time axis with a NOW marker - Personal minimums — set your own ceiling, visibility and crosswind limits; periods below them are highlighted right on the timeline - TAF verification — see how the previous TAF actually verified against the observed METARs, with a match rate - NOTAM timeline — every NOTAM on one time axis with the TAF and the crosswind on the best open runway; pick your departure time to see what is in force. Filter by category, critical NOTAMs highlighted - METAR, TAF and NOTAM in plain language — flowing prose summaries, no shorthand required - Pilot reports (PIREP) on the map — turbulence and icing reported by other aircraft, color-coded by severity, with a full decoded detail view - Runway wind components for every runway, plus a per-runway crosswind timeline — a color-coded severity bar for recent and forecast crosswind, with your personal limit marked - Adaptive weather map: runway layout, flight category and wind barbs; zoom in for more METAR detail - Winds & temperatures aloft map layer: standard wind barbs at your selected flight level, with temperatures and a forecast time slider AIRPORT DATABASE (works offline) - 50,000+ airports with runways, frequencies and elevation - ICAO/IATA codes, sunrise/sunset and magnetic variation - Nearby airports, filterable by runway length and METAR/VFR availability FAVORITES & GROUPS - Organize airports into Favorites and Groups (Briefing tab); export a whole group's weather as one PDF or text briefing - Local flight window (Premium): GO/CAUTION/NO-GO for a one-hour local flight over the next 24 hours, on every favorite - Sync Favorites, Groups, Routes and Settings across your devices with iCloud PILOT TOOLS - Density altitude, crosswind, twilight (civil, nautical, astronomical) and day/night flight time calculators - Pilot stopwatch with lap times APPLE WATCH - Favorite airports with decoded reports, raw data and plain-language METAR & TAF on your wrist - Watch face complication showing up to 4 favorite airports WIDGETS - Weather Timeline, METAR, METAR & TAF, Weather Symbols, and METAR in plain language widgets for your Home Screen IMPORTANT: WX Aviation Weather supports your situational awareness; it is not an official briefing source. Go/no-go checks are advisory — the pilot in command makes every decision. Missing METAR, TAF, NOTAM or SIGMET data is unavailable at the source, not a fault of the app. Always obtain an official pre-flight briefing.
