WhatTheFreq is a fast flight scratchpad for pilots who want airport frequencies, weather, runway wind context, and quick notes in one place. Enter a route and load the airports you care about in seconds. WhatTheFreq organizes key airport frequencies into clean, easy-to-scan cards so you can quickly reference ATIS, clearance, ground, tower, CTAF, UNICOM, approach, departure, and ASOS/AWOS data without bouncing between tabs or apps. The app also pulls METAR data and turns it into practical at-a-glance guidance. See flight category, wind, visibility, ceiling, and best-runway context with estimated headwind and crosswind components for available runway headings. WhatTheFreq is built for real cockpit workflow: β’ Load multiple airports in a route β’ View FAA airport frequency data in a simple card layout β’ Check live METAR conditions β’ See VFR, MVFR, IFR, and LIFR status at a glance β’ Compare runway wind components β’ Add your own temporary frequencies β’ Keep scratch notes for remarks, taxi routes, and clearances WhatTheFreq is designed as a lightweight pilot companion for quick reference and situational awareness. Not for primary navigation. Always verify frequencies, weather, and operational information with official sources and current procedures.
