SkyCast Pilot Android

SkyCast Pilot

Pilot weather briefings: METAR, TAF, PIREP, SIGMET & winds aloft, lightning fast

Features & Capabilities

SkyCast Pilot is a fast, focused aviation weather lookup tool for general aviation pilots, student pilots, and CFIs. Pull a current METAR, the latest TAF, nearby PIREPs, active SIGMETs and AIRMETs, and winds aloft for any ICAO airport in seconds — with offline-friendly caching so a flaky cell signal at the FBO doesn't leave you guessing.

WHAT YOU GET

• METAR — current observations with FAA-aligned flight-category color coding (VFR / MVFR / IFR / LIFR), decoded ceiling, visibility, wind, altimeter, and raw text side-by-side.
• TAF — full forecast period with each FM/BECMG/TEMPO group called out, plus a freshness indicator so you know how stale the data is.
• PIREPs — pilot reports near your selected airport, filtered by radius, showing turbulence, icing, and cloud tops the way other pilots saw it.
• SIGMETs & AIRMETs — domestic and international advisories with valid windows highlighted.
• Winds Aloft — forecast winds and temperatures at altitude, parsed from the raw FB product into a clean, scannable table.

BUILT FOR THE WAY PILOTS USE A PHONE

• Search-first home screen — type an ICAO and go. K-codes, C-codes, international identifiers all supported.
• Favorites dashboard — your home base, alternates, and that strip you always end up at, one tap away with grouping support.
• Local time first — every observation and forecast shows your airport's local time prominently, with Zulu underneath. No more mental math at 4 AM before a long XC.
• Home-screen widget — pin a favorite airport's latest METAR and flight category right on your launcher.
• Material You dynamic color — the app picks up your wallpaper palette on Android 12+, so it feels native to your device.

OFFLINE & RELIABLE

A two-layer cache (in-memory + on-device database) keeps your last successful pull available when the network drops. Per-product TTLs match how often each product actually updates, so you're not fooled by stale SIGMETs or yesterday's TAF.

PRIVACY

No account, no sign-in, no ad tracking. Your favorites and recent searches stay on your device.

IMPORTANT

SkyCast Pilot is a quick-reference tool. It is not an official source of weather information for flight planning, and it is not a replacement for a full preflight briefing from an authorized provider. Always verify critical weather products with an official source before flight.

Built by a pilot, for pilots. Feedback welcome.
