I am happy to announce a very slick tool for those aviation enthusiasts out there with Pre’s.
Pre-Flight is an application that pulls common weather information from the NOAA ADDS weather data service.
The following weather information (raw) is accessible:
• METARS and TAFS for a select set of airports (i.e. KDAL)
• PIREPS and AIRMETS/SIGMETS for a selected path (i.e. KDAL KORD)
• Prog Charts
DISCLAIMER: THIS TOOL IS NOT A CERTIFIED FLIGHT TOOL. IT IS TO BE USED FOR EDUCATIONAL/INSTRUCTIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.
Please read the disclaimer carefully before deciding to use this application. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Comments/suggestions/feedback welcome!!
Enjoy.
Regards,
Doug Anson (ansond)
