 |
|
Greetings All!
Aviametrix is pleased and proud to announce a new iOS app for pilots!
The new App is Crosswind-Live!
This app pulls current official aviation weather from an
Internet connection and draws the wind arrows over a runway
map of the closest airport and also calculates the crosswind
components. If you like, the app will draw the current conditions
at any other airport! It also gives you the airport info, comm freqs,
and the full METAR.
Crosswind-Live! contains a database of over 55,000 runways at
over 45,000 airports worldwide, including airports, glider ports,
sea bases, heliports, and many closed airports.
This is a great app for student pilots, taildraggers, and anyone who
likes to plan their takeoffs and landings.
Crosswind-Live joins the other three Apps for Pilots developed by
Aviametrix and yours truly!
AvAltimeter - an actual, working sensitive altimeter with a Kollsman
Window adjustment. Smart features like Oxygen alarm, TAS, and
takeoff performance.
Twilight Calculator - A self contained app which calculates Civil
Twilight, standard sunrise/set, Nautical Twilight, and Astronomical Twilight.
At your current GPS location, or anywhere in the world, for today, or a
different date.
AvWx No touch METARs! The simplest weather reports for pilots.
Just open the App and it shows you the closest METARs. You can sort the
METARs by age, bearing from your location, or by distance!
You can find FAQs and documentation for these apps on the support
page for my web site.
Thanks!

Thank you Barry!
Let me know if you see the need for new features.
I am considering adding relative humidity and estimated cloud base
to the translated METAR report in the near future.
More interesting would be adding "unofficial" weather data, for
example, WeatherUnderground. They are more frequent and much
more geographically disseminated, but also less likely to be accurate.
What do you think?
