Master the skill of reading aviation weather reports with real-world practice.

METAR Master pulls live METAR and TAF reports from aviationweather.gov and challenges you to decode them before revealing the answer. It's the fastest way to build fluency reading weather reports — whether you're a student pilot preparing for your written exam or an experienced aviator sharpening your skills.

HOW IT WORKS

• A real weather report appears on screen in its raw form
• You decode it mentally, then tap "Reveal Decode" to check your work
• Mark whether you got it right, and move on to the next one
• Track your progress with stats, streaks, and pilot rank progression

COMPREHENSIVE DECODING Every element of the report is decoded with pilot-friendly explanations:

• Wind direction, speed, gusts, and variable winds
• Visibility including fractional values and RVR
• Sky conditions with ceiling identification and coverage percentages
• Weather phenomena (rain, snow, fog, thunderstorms, and more)
• Temperature, dewpoint, and spread analysis
• Altimeter setting with standard deviation
• 25+ remark codes including SLP, precise temperature groups, pressure tendency, precipitation, peak wind, and ice accretion

PRACTICE MODES

• METAR — Current weather observations
• TAF — Terminal aerodrome forecasts with FM, TEMPO, BECMG, and PROB groups
• Both — Mixed practice for a realistic challenge
