Enroute TAFS @ ETA
Flight categories from enroute TAFs are calculated and presented at the point when your aircraft is abeam of that location.
Interactive Time Slider
See trends and how the weather is moving over time.
The time slider allows you to quickly adjust your departure time and view how TAFs are impacted.
Personal Minimums Visualized
Scan up to 20 different weather conditions and separate the relevant from the not so relevant. For example select TS, GR, SQ or your own ceiling/visibility and get an instant indication of where (and when) your minimums are exceeded. It’s like having your own custom flight category!
Intelligent Airmets & Sigmets
View when and where Airmets and Sigmets interset your flight path. The position and length of the arcs indicate both the start time and duration of Airmets and Sigmets over airports.
