Why this exists
Reading METARs fluently is a learned skill. We built this as a study aid for students and a sanity-check for everyone else. The parser runs entirely in your browser — nothing is logged, nothing is sent.
For dispatch decisions use aviationweather.gov or your official weather briefing. For a full pre-flight check including pilot currency, aircraft squawks, and inspection countdowns, see AutoBrief.
AutoBrief
AutoBrief decodes METARs automatically — and decides if the weather is a GO or NO-GO for your students.
AI pre-flight GO/NO-GO for flight schools.
