AeroWeather Lite for iPhone

App summary — AeroWeather Lite for iPhone / iPod touch

AeroWeather Lite is a complimentary iOS app that provides quick access to aviation weather reports and an integrated airport reference. It is designed for pilots, aviation enthusiasts, and anyone who needs concise METAR/TAF information alongside basic airport details on an iPhone or iPod touch.

Key capabilities

• Interactive airport maps display runway layouts, traffic indicators, and location markers for the chosen airfield.
• Raw and decoded METAR/TAF weather bulletins are available for instant viewing.
• A compact airport widget gives fast access to saved locations and can be enabled or disabled as needed.

• Glancing at current weather conditions at home, work, or frequently visited airfields.
