The Challenge
Accurate and timely weather information is critical for aviation safety. Domestic pilots often rely on complex and text-heavy aviation reports that require significant time and expertise to interpret. Existing tools made it difficult to quickly assess weather conditions along a planned flight path.
- Complex METAR and TAF data difficult to interpret quickly
- Lack of clear visual representation of aviation weather
- No easy way to analyze weather along a specific flight route
- Time-consuming weather monitoring before and during flights
The Objective
- Provide pilots with clear, easy-to-read aviation weather data
- Enable route-based and time-based weather analysis
- Reduce pre-flight weather assessment time
- Improve flight safety through better weather visibility
Our Solution

Built an iOS application capable of displaying weather conditions along
the desired flight path at a selected time window.
Raw TAF & METAR Visualization
Introduced a revolutionary approach to presenting aviation weather,
allowing pilots to review complex METARs and TAFs within seconds.
Animated Weather Radar
Aggregated real-time aviation weather data into a color-coded animated
radar for quick situational awareness.
Splash Screen Experience
Designed a visually appealing and aviation-focused splash screen that
sets expectations for a professional weather experience.
AIR/SIGMET Integration
