AvWx

Situational awareness for pilots and dispatchers — every airport you care about, on one screen.

AvWx pulls AviationWeather.gov, NOAA radar, FAA advisories, Digital ATIS, NWS alerts and Apple Weather into a single operational picture, so you can read a whole day of flying without opening five apps.

THE TAF TIMELINE
Every TAF drawn on one time axis, instead of read as a wall of code.
• Overlapping conditional groups made obvious — TEMPO and PROB sit in their own band beneath the prevailing periods, so you can see at a glance exactly which hours they cut across
• Runway wind components for every forecast period, not just for the current METAR — head and crosswind for each end as the wind shifts through the day
• Apple Weather's hourly precipitation overlaid on the same axis — type, intensity and chance, hour by hour, so a second independent forecast reads directly against the TAF's own periods
• Flight category, visibility, ceiling and present weather as coloured bars you can read in a second
• The current METAR and the current time overlaid, anchoring the forecast to what is actually happening
• Day, night and twilight bands with moon visibility behind the whole timeline
• Alternate requirements and likely runway configuration changes flagged as they arrive

WHAT SETS IT APART
• Every airport side by side — METAR, TAF, radar and advisories for all of them at once, no switching back and forth
• Live radar on every airport tile, plus the nearest cell's distance and bearing
• Advisories that actually reach you — SIGMETs, CWAs and NWS alerts matched to your airport's position, not just its region
• See when another airport's Ground Stop or Ground Delay Program is holding your departure, with the ARTCC centers it covers shaded on a map

FREE
• Up to five airports
• METAR and TAF, decoded and clearly formatted
• The full TAF timeline, in airport local time or UTC
• FAA advisories and SIGMET/CWA alerts, with live countdowns

PREMIUM
Unlimited airports and everything below. One-week free trial, and it removes ads.

MAPS & RADAR
• Radar reflectivity, echo tops and precipitation type, with an animated loop
• Nationwide NWS alert regions, colour-coded by product, with storm motion vectors
• Airspace overlays — tap any boundary to identify it
• Wildfire smoke in two layers — satellite-observed plumes, which include smoke aloft, and a separate near-surface forecast
• Satellite imagery, including a zoom straight to any runway end

WEATHER DEPTH
• Extended Apple Weather forecasts, hourly and daily
• Minute-by-minute next-hour precipitation with a rising, steady or falling trend
• Density altitude, heat index, and forecast against historical normals
• Sun and moon events, twilight bands, moon phase and visibility

OPERATIONS
• Favored runways and wind components for the current METAR, with short-runway filtering
• Decoded D-ATIS beside the raw broadcast — approaches and runways in use, wind shear, PRM, CAT II/III
• Saved locations beyond airports — home, layover cities, anywhere — with full forecasts
• Cloud-synced airport lists, offline-aware, with connection status and last-sync time

BUILT FOR
Pilots working tight turns. Dispatchers watching many stations at once. International crews managing alternates, ETOPS, driftdown and redispatch. Anyone who needs to see evolving weather across a lot of airports, quickly.

An in-app Guide and symbol Legend explain every bar, glyph and colour, so nothing on screen is a mystery.

AvWx is a professional supplement, not a replacement for certified flight-planning tools.

Optimized for iPad.
