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.
