FAQ
Questions pilots ask
Which airports does AirportWX cover?
About 49,000 airports worldwide, from the OurAirports database, which we update every month. Airports that publish their own METAR and TAF show those reports. Smaller airfields without a weather station show the weather of the nearest airport that has one, so you always know where the report comes from.
Is AirportWX free?
Yes. The free version has decoded METAR and TAF for up to 10 airports, one weather alert, the map and the METAR & TAF guide. AirportWX Pro is an optional subscription that adds up to 50 airports, up to 10 active alerts, flight monitoring with a Live Activity, widgets, ATIS and all pilot tools.
How do weather alerts work?
You choose an airport and the conditions you care about: flight rules, wind or gusts, crosswind on a runway, visibility, ceiling or weather such as fog, snow or thunderstorms. Our server checks every new METAR (or TAF, if you prefer to see it coming) and sends a push notification when your conditions are met. You can limit an alert to active hours, make it fire only once, and get a notification when the weather clears again.
Do I need to keep the app open to get alerts?
No. Alerts are evaluated on our server, not on your phone, so they arrive even when AirportWX is closed. Just allow notifications when the app asks.
What is flight monitoring?
Add a flight with a departure, destination and optional alternate airport. AirportWX shows the weather and crosswind for all three in one place and keeps the flight on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island with a Live Activity while it is monitored. Flight monitoring is part of AirportWX Pro.
What do VFR, MVFR, IFR and LIFR mean?
They are flight rules categories based on ceiling and visibility. VFR (green) is good weather, MVFR (blue) is marginal, IFR (red) means instrument conditions and LIFR (magenta) is low IFR. AirportWX uses the FAA limits; see our METAR & TAF guide for the exact values.
Can I use AirportWX for flight simulation?
Yes. Many MSFS and X-Plane pilots use AirportWX to check the real-world weather at their departure and arrival before a flight, and to learn to read METAR and TAF along the way.
Which devices and languages are supported?
AirportWX runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 18 or later. The app is available in English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish and Brazilian Portuguese. Aviation terms such as METAR, TAF, QNH and the raw reports always stay in their standard English form.
Can I use AirportWX for flight planning?
AirportWX is for information only. Always use official sources for flight planning, such as a weather briefing, NOTAMs and ATC. You are responsible for every flight decision.
