See the Wind
MetarBoard Wind brings wind conditions to life with animated particles flowing across FAA airport diagrams. Particle color and speed reflect real-time wind intensity, giving you an instant visual sense of conditions on the ground.
Know Your Crosswind
Every runway gets a crosswind breakdown showing headwind, crosswind, and tailwind components. The best runway for current conditions is highlighted automatically, so you can plan your approach at a glance.
Always Current
Weather data comes directly from the NOAA Aviation Weather Center. METAR observations refresh every five minutes, and when a METAR is unavailable the app falls back to TAF forecasts or a nearby station within 30 miles.
Built for Pilots
Save your home field and frequently visited airports as favorites. Browse nearby airports within a 100-mile radius, check flight categories at a glance, and search any airport worldwide by ICAO code.
