You can add and easily edit up to 10 commonly used ICAO bookmarks.

Use Airport Weather when you travel and want to know the weather conditions of your destination or just want to know what the weather is like in another part of the world.

Additional Feature: Access to current geostationary weather satellite data through NOAA. You can use the global satellite maps to track weather patterns and hurricanes.

AP Weather is a great way to learn ICAO codes.

The ICAO airport code is a four letter code designating each airport around the world. These codes are defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization and are used by air traffic control and airline operations such as flight planning.

METAR data is provided by NOAA. You can find more information at: http://weather.noaa.gov

Use of ICAO METAR data by this program does not constitute or imply endorsement, recommendation, or favoring by NOAA, or the International Civil Aviation Organization.

Pros and cons of Airport Weather app for iPhone and iPad

Airport Weather app good for

This is quick and easy to use. I can spin the wheel to find the weather in Iceland or Australia, or anywhere else on the planet. Its really complete, with even little tiny airports in tiny little countries (where is Palau?). I kind of like the flags for each country. Everything is listed by the regular town/city name, or if you know the airport code you can just type it in. This is great for travelers, and I set bookmarks for the airports that I fly to. The info is pretty complete with temp, windspeed, visibility, etc. Best for me: easy to read type!

I like it..just wanted to write something..i love the international flags & its fast...infor is correct also..every airport every where..

This is a great application! The information is accurate, and the data loads quickly. Also, the layout makes it easy to use. Well worth the money!!

This application puts the boundless information gathered from airports from around the world at your fingertips! With a quick search based on airport code you can pull up weather information in real time. One of the more interesting parts of the application is the ability to pull up thermal weather data for anywhere in the world! If you are looking for an application that gives you quick access to weather from around the world then look no longer!

Not fancy but very good for existing conditions, assuming you live near an airport. Does not have forecasted weather. Only one issue. Why do you have 1 tap for edit and 2 taps to open the ICAO link button? It is forever going to edit. Switch that or have edit someplace else altogether.

Really good. Very fast. No need for updates. Linked right to NOAA server. You just need to know the 4-character ICAO airport code. Database is outdated, and isnt necessary since data is always up to date on the NOAA server. Database could be replaced with a link to "stations.txt" which is NOAAs database, and maintained by them. Other links to NOAA allows full access to NOAAs website without leaving the app. Access to radar, satellite images, forecasts and more. As advertised and more. Five stars!
