Weather Pilot 3.7 Released

A major update for Weather Pilot is now available on the Google Play Store, introducing advanced flight planning workflows, enhanced station search, and visual improvements.

Key Updates

  • Advanced Briefing Mode: Features workflow tab templates (Departure, Enroute, Destination, Alternates) with tab duplication, tab-aware weather summaries sorted by severity, and quick jump-back navigation to METAR/TAF views.
  • Enhanced Station Search: Implemented a local station index for faster lookups. You can now search by name, ICAO, or IATA identifier, use mixed input formats when adding stations, and scroll through search results larger than five stations.
  • Light & Dark Themes: Added full support for light and dark modes to improve visibility during night operations or low-light conditions.
  • Offline API Fallback: The app now automatically falls back to locally cached station data if the station info API endpoint becomes unavailable.

The update is now live and available for download. Thank you for flying with Weather Pilot.

Safe flying.

Weather Pilot 3.0 Released

Weather Pilot 3.0 has been released. This was a complete rewrite of the application to bring it up to latest standards in security and technology. Updates will continue to roll out for the application as feature parity is matched with the previous version and new functionality is added.

Weather Pilot is no longer functional

Due to changes in the data service used by Weather Pilot to retrieve METAR and TAF data the app is no longer functional. I am deeply sorry about this and currently have no time frame for when I will be able to update the app. I had hoped to have a new version of the application out this past summer but the time to support it did not materialize.

Thank you to everyone who has used and supported the app over the last 10+ years. From it’s time on Android and BlackBerry, I have enjoyed developing Weather Pilot and talking to the users from around the world. I hope to bring the app back online with a richer set of features and wider range of devices where it could be used. Until then, thank you.

Weather Pilot Ad-free issues

Users may experience issues where ads start to appear on their app even though they have paid for an ad-free subscription. I apologize for this. I am working on an update to resolve the issue but due to other commitments I am unsure when this update will go out. If you start seeing ads but have paid to have them removed please contact support through the app.

Weather Pilot data issues

I’m looking into the problem where METAR and TAF data isn’t downloading.

UPDATE: 23 Sept 2021
Data issues are resolved.
