Read full descriptionHide full description
Smarter, faster preflight preparation. TAFHighlight gives pilots a clear, streamlined way to prepare with flight-specific TAFs, METARs, and NOTAMs. Enter a flight number or build your route manually - the app instantly retrieves and interrogates the data you need for your departure and arrival - covering up to six legs, including destination alternates and any other airports you require. TAFs are interrogated automatically, highlighting only the elements applicable to your actual departure and arrival times. METARs are included for a complete weather snapshot. The result: you see the essentials at a glance, saving valuable time and removing the stress of manually extracting and interpreting data. Active NOTAMs appear with keywords highlighted to enable a rapid scan, while inactive NOTAMs are automatically filtered and hidden to reduce clutter. The result is a faster, simpler, and more accurate preflight preparation. In seconds, you gain a clear, prioritised view of the data that matters most. The app works equally well without a flight number. Charter pilots, general aviation pilots and even students benefit from the same professional experience: rapid retrieval, smart time-based highlighting, and keyword-driven NOTAM summaries. Designed and tested by real pilots, TAFHighlight is built as a supplemental awareness tool to reduce workload and improve clarity. Whether you’re preparing for a long-haul airline sector or a short VFR trip, TAFHighlight helps you focus on what really matters, so you can prepare with confidence. From departure to arrival, clarity in seconds - download TAFHighlight today.

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?
