App Store Description
WxPlan - Smarter Weather & Flight Planning, tailored for Australian pilots.
Get unrestricted access to official NAIPS weather - completely free, with no ads and no sign-in required.
WxPlan gives all users free access to essential tools including Location Briefs, Area Briefs, First/Last Light, Wind & Temperature Profiles, Restricted Area Briefs, RAIM Prediction, and all Charts.
Smart ETA-based TAF analysis:
Simply enter your destination and ETA, or import your run sheet - WxPlan extracts the TAF lines relevant to your arrival, considers TAF3 requirements, buffers, Part 121 or 91 rules and utilises your alternate minima to determine any weather conditions that may trigger holding or an alternate. View detailed TAF and METAR wind components for each runway.
Holding fuel calculator:
Instantly calculate your maximum holding time and latest exit point, whether you're in the hold or planning ahead, based on forecast or real-time data.
Alternate minima made easy:
Use our built-in Category alternate minima for CAT A to D aircraft, or bulk-import your own. Switch between Category and individual Custom Destination/Alternate minima to suit your needs. Need to be more specific? Import and switch between individual runway minima with support for multiple variations to each runway minima.
NOTAM filters that actually help:
View active and inactive NOTAMs relevant to your ETA. Use smart category filters to instantly focus on the ones that matter - no more wading through irrelevant NOTAMs.
Auto-updating METAR, SPECI and ATIS:
WxPlan refreshes airport weather with automatic METAR/SPECI updates and notifies you as soon as a new ATIS is issued.
Flexible storage and caching:
Going offline? Cache charts, Met Briefs, and your entire day’s flying straight from your run sheet. Store individual briefs or import full roster schedules, and update them all with a single tap.
First/Last light indicator and Multi-ATIS pages:
Instantly see if your arrival is going to be at night with our day/night indicator reflecting official first/last light data for your arrival. Use the Multi-ATIS page to display up to four ATIS entries simultaneously for a complete snapshot.
Store your preferred briefs:
Store up to 40 sets of Location Briefs, each with up to 11 international or domestic airports - all with TAF validity age display. Tap once to update all stored briefs.
Restricted Area brief integration:
See restricted area statuses clearly, with colour-coded displays and expandable NOTAM details for each area.
Chart and General Met Brief pinning:
Pin your preferred Charts and General Met Briefs to the top of your lists for fast access, and cache them all with a single tap.
Highly customisable settings:
Configure all your alternate minima, minima types, aircraft category, automation and refresh preferences, display settings, and more.
