METAR TAF 3D

About this app

Read a METAR at a glance — then see it. METAR TAF 3D turns raw aviation weather into a picture: an animated 3D cloud profile with the real ceiling, visibility and precipitation for the airport you are flying to, plus a 72-hour meteogram built for pilots rather than for the general public. SEE THE SKY, NOT A STRING OF CODE • Animated 3D cloud profile — layers at their true heights, live rain and snow • Ceiling and visibility marked where they actually are • Day and night rendering that follows the sun at that airport • Active runway and wind indicator on the ground band EVERY CODE EXPLAINED, WITH ITS SOURCE • Tap any code in a raw METAR or TAF for a plain-language explanation • 128 codes covering the international ICAO format plus the national remark sections most pilots never learn: US RMK groups, Canadian cloud-type remarks, UK and NATO colour states • Every definition is cited to the document it comes from — FAA AC 00-45H, WMO No. 306, the NWS ASOS User's Guide, MANOBS — with a link to the original • Searchable glossary grouped by country A METEOGRAM BUILT FOR PILOTS • 72 hours of fog risk, ceiling, visibility, temperature/dew point spread • Turbulence and icing bands, freezing level, density altitude • Winds aloft from the surface to FL300 • Crosswind for the active runway, hour by hour • Multiple forecast models side by side — ECMWF, GFS, ICON, GEM — and a consensus blend FULL PRE-FLIGHT PICTURE • Decoded METAR and TAF with BASE, TEMPO and BECMG periods • Aviation briefing: flight category, QNH, density altitude, winds aloft • NOTAMs and PIREPs • Weather map with flight-category colouring and a model wind rose • Runway compass with crosswind and headwind components • Worst-weather scan across your airports • Notes with freehand drawing, favourites, home-screen widget • Spoken briefing in nine languages BUILT ON OFFICIAL DATA Observations and forecasts come from NOAA/NWS and Open-Meteo. Runway data comes from published aerodrome records. Nothing in the decoder is guessed: where a code could not be verified against an official document, it is left out rather than invented. Nine languages: English, Turkish, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, Malay. METAR TAF 3D is a situational-awareness aid. It is not a substitute for an official weather briefing or for the pilot-in-command's judgement.

METAR/TAF code glossary • Tap any code in a raw METAR or TAF to see what it means in your language • 128 codes: international ICAO format, US remarks (RMK), Canadian cloud remarks, UK/NATO colour states • Every definition cited to its official source, with a link • Searchable glossary grouped by country, in all nine app languages Corrections • Airport elevation was read in metres and shown as feet. Every affected figure is now right — field elevation, pressure altitude and density altitude. At a high, hot airfield this moved density altitude by more than 2,000 ft. • The briefing and meteogram labelled mean sea-level pressure as QNH. They are not the same: QNH is reduced using the standard atmosphere, MSLP using the actual temperature profile. Altimeter setting and pressure altitude now use QNH, and the briefing shows the observed METAR value alongside the model. • The aviation briefing now shows the raw METAR, the raw TAF and the BASE/TEMPO/BECMG periods, and opens at the current hour.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
