Flight Winds vs Metar

FlightWinds helps pilots make faster, clearer wind decisions before takeoff and before landing. Enter the runway and wind, then instantly see headwind, tailwind, and crosswind components for the runway in use. Set your own configurable wind limits, FlightWinds will clearly show when conditions are inside or outside your preset limitations. FlightWinds keeps the workflow simple: quick input, instant calculations, and an easy-to-read display that support your preflight and pre-landing decision-making. Features: - Instant crosswind, headwind, and tailwind calculations - Dual runway display - Custom takeoff and landing wind limits - Clear warnings when your limits are exceeded - Universal app for iPhone and iPad Built by a Gold Seal FAA Flight Instructor and airline pilot for pilots who want a practical wind tool for everyday flying. Safety Notice: FlightWinds is a supplemental planning aid only. It is not certified flight equipment and must not be used as the sole source for flight planning or operational decisions. Verify all inputs, weather data, calculations, and limitations using current official sources, the applicable AFM/POH, operator procedures, and your own judgment. Weather information may be delayed, incomplete, or unavailable. The pilot in command remains responsible for the safe operation of the flight.
