METAR/TAF from ADS-B receiver thru GDL 90 protocol (requires 'Captain' subscription) SIGMETs (requires 'Captain' subscription) Imagery and Charts (requires 'Captain' subscription) Home Screen Widgets for METAR, Plot, Meteogram (iOS 14 or higher) Area Forecast Discussions (currently US only) The following features are enabled while 'First' subscription is active: These purchases are not transferable between Lite, Pro, and Mac.Īdditional features which generate recurring operation costs for us will be offered within a subscription. * Additional functionality which needs to be unlocked (one-time purchase). Consider getting AeroWeather Pro, subscribe the additional features**, or remove the ad banner through one-time unlock* to have an ad-free app. In order to keep AeroWeather Lite free we added a small ad banner at the bottom of the screen. Please consult our web-site for a full description of all features. There's also an iMessage app included which lets you easily send METAR/TAF of any airport to other users. AeroPix should be especially helpful when there's no or insufficient webcam coverage. The pictures will be available to all other pilots (on the map or within an airport detail view) helping them to get a better idea about local conditions. The AeroPix feature offers users the possibility to take quickly picture(s) of the weather at their current location. METAR/TAF data comes primarily from a certified ANSP (air navigation service provider) and is provided reliably and fast from our dedicated, redundant servers (indicated by blue checkmark underneath METAR/TAF). Notifications will be sent to your device if the criteria is met (e.g., when wind is greater/equal 10 kts, flight rule becomes IFR).ĭedicated METAR/TAF** access is optionally available. Define multiple alerts for each station with the following criteria: flight rule (US NOAA), wind speed, temperature, pressure, present weather, visibility, and ceiling (BKN and OVC). METAR alert notifications** is an helpful feature to stay up-to-date. Depending on your needs, groups can be shown or hidden in the main list view. The app features a built-in airport database, which includes basic airport data like sunrise/sunset, twilight times, timezones etc.ĪeroWeather Lite offers built-in groups for nearby stations, today widget (pre iOS 14), and earthquakes. There are many settings for units and format of METAR/TAF available. All weather data is cached for offline access. AeroWeather Lite is helpful for weather preflight-briefings, but also to just get very precise weather. Data can be shown in its original (raw) format or as fully decoded and easy understandable texts. *** Current and precise weather conditions (METAR) and forecasts (TAF).ĪeroWeather Lite provides quick and intuitive access to METAR and TAF for airports worldwide. My students often have concerns about setting up for slow flight when practicing and perfecting their skills for a checkride.*** AeroWeather: for pilots, aviation enthusiasts, and everyone who is serious about the weather! So this lesson isn’t about so much how to do slow flight as maybe an easy plan to setting up and its relationship to the rest of our flight. It’s a demonstration of controlling the relationships of Lift and weight and thrust and drag or the relationship of you controlling your minimum airspeed (or whatever speed requested to use)through angle of attack with the power creating just the right amount of thrust over drag to not sink or climb unless called for. Usually this happens in the so called dirtiest configuration of your aircraft such as max flaps in my C152 trainer. So my recommended set up is to start as if setting up for a landing. Start by pulling your power to or close to your normal power setting or other recommended setting that you use to get ready to lower the airspeed into white arc and lower flaps. This will mean raising the nose some to prevent loss of altitude, but we reduce power so we don’t climb either. (You can sometimes go straight to full flaps if can keep up with the ballooning tendency and power requirement to prevent altitude loss etc, but in the beginning you probably need to take it in steps, and for a checkride your under stress anyways so take the steps.) As the plane begins to stabilize and approach the slow speed desired, usually go ahead with next set of flaps. Do expect a slight more ballooning affect then be prepared to add some power to prevent loss of altitude. This means you will likely have to use some muscle of maintaining the slower settings. Then at this point usually adding the last of your flaps unless you have the lucky plane that have that fourth setting. Now don’t forget the power, just enough to prevent a loss of altitude.
