E-Metar is the aviation weather report aviators actually need. It combines the official METAR with a layer of operational intelligence that aligns with real conditions, helping you understand not just the weather, but how the airport is operating. WHAT E-METAR BRINGS METAR reports are universal and reliable, but they only describe the weather. They don’t tell you which runway is active or which NOTAMs actually matter operationally. Until now, that kind of information required expensive professional systems such as D-ATIS. E-Metar fills that gap. On top of the official METAR, we add: •⁠ ⁠Live active runways for takeoff and landing, identified automatically. •⁠ ⁠Critical NOTAMs filtered for real operational relevance. •⁠ ⁠D-ATIS integration when available. •⁠ ⁠Aerodrome structure (runway configurations and orientations). •⁠ ⁠Smart tools to quickly build a clear pre-flight operational picture. •⁠ ⁠A source code for every data point: T (observed traffic), W (inferred from wind), O (previous configuration), L (known operational logic). TRANSPARENCY AND TRACEABILITY E-Metar is not a black box. Every data point comes with its source, so you can verify, compare, and decide with confidence. Especially useful for flight preparation, operational briefings, and training. WHO IT’S FOR •⁠ ⁠Commercial, corporate, and general aviation pilots. •⁠ ⁠Flight dispatch and operational personnel. •⁠ ⁠Flight schools and aviation training centers. •⁠ ⁠Professionals and enthusiasts who want a deeper understanding of how an airport is really operating. COVERAGE 500+ airports currently covered, with continuous expansion. IMPORTANT E-Metar is a pre-flight planning support tool. It does not replace official sources of aeronautical information (AIS, AIP, official NOTAMs, and METAR/TAF from certified providers). The pilot in command remains responsible for verifying all operational information through the appropriate official channels. SUPPORT Questions, feedback, or issues?
