METAR · Decoded

The raw explains itself before your eyes.

One card, every value explained. The numbers link what you see on the card to the raw METAR string, decoded group by group.

The same card as the app, here static and with made-up data. Hover (or tap on mobile) any item on the card or in the raw: a popup explains what you’re looking at.

Data & accuracy

One source: NOAA AWC. A snapshot every 5 minutes.

Every report comes from the official NOAA Aviation Weather Center and is served from the global edge, the CDN node closest to your client. Same pipeline for the iOS app, web dashboard and API.

  • Source

    NOAA AWC

    METAR, TAF and SIGMET pulled directly from the US National Weather Service Aviation Weather Center.

  • Standard

    ICAO 7910

    METAR and TAF parsers compliant with WMO Technical Regulations and ICAO Annex 3. Airport identifiers from ICAO DOC 7910.

  • FIR

    EAD

    SIGMET polygons intersected with real FIR boundaries — not approximate rectangles. Native antimeridian handling over the Pacific.

  • Edge

    Global

    Served from the CDN node closest to your client worldwide, the iOS app included. Serverless origin on AWS Europe (eu-west-1), GDPR compliant.

Frequently asked questions.

Is AvioWeather approved for operational use?
AvioWeather integrates public NOAA data to support briefings and situational awareness. It does not replace the official AIS sources of the country you are operating in. The pilot in command remains responsible for every flight decision.
Which airports are covered?
Every airport that publishes METAR and/or TAF on the OPMET circuit and is indexed by NOAA AWC — in practice nearly every airport with an ICAO code. Search works by ICAO (e.g. LIRF) or IATA (e.g. FCO).
How often are reports refreshed?
METAR and TAF are requested from NOAA every time you open an airport page; SIGMETs are re-aggregated by the backend at short intervals and served with a few-minute cache, so a new SIGMET shows up in the app within the next polling window.
What are Smart Notifications?
Custom rules a Pro pilot sets for a specific airport with explicit operators: wind > X kt, gust > X kt, visibility < Y km, ceiling < Z ft, temperature, flight category different from (e.g. notify me if the airport is no longer VFR) or any weather phenomenon. The push arrives only when a new METAR crosses the threshold — no repeated alerts if the weather stays steadily bad. Maximum duration per rule: 12 hours.
How much does the Pro subscription cost?
Pro costs €4.99 per month or €34.99 per year (save about 42%, roughly five months free). Prices may vary slightly in your regional store per Apple's rules: the final amount is always shown in the App Store before you confirm. Auto-renewing, can be cancelled anytime from iOS settings.
Is my personal data safe?
We only collect what we need: email for authentication, favourite airports and device tokens for push. No advertising tracking, no data sales. Full details in the Privacy Policy.
