I learned early in my flying experience that weather decision making is an integral part of flying. I also learned in the days before the Internet and online tools, if I relied solely on the briefer's recommendation, I'd probably fly a lot less. As more and more of these online tools became available, supplementing the formal weather briefing with accurate, current and predictive capability became a reality. I thought I would share the tools I am using in addition to the DUATS briefing. I woul love to see what others have found. First up. Skew-ts. If there is a tool that was made for aviation, it is the skew-t. The challenge with the skews is the amount of work required to understand what data it is presenting. It contains predictions of cloud layers, icing level and thunderstorm CAPE probabilities. One of the tools I have been using is SkewTLogPro. It was free when I signed up but I think I read that there will be a fee going forth. You can get the same information going to the website, but the app makes it much easier. http://rucsoundings.noaa.gov/ Next up. Quick and current radar. The radar that is presented in XM and FIS-B is a composite of several radar sweeps in a timeline. I found the app Storm provides access to real time radar to get an updated current radar view while on the ground. One nice feature of Storm in addition to getting "live" radar is the ability to move the tilt to help look and verify echo tops. Another couple of apps I find useful on the ground is Aviation Weather from NOAA. It has the charts in a quick and easy method to get them. And finally I use AeroWeather. This apps just gives you a quick access to the METARs. I like to load up airports along my route and have a quick access to the latest weather there. Helps me understand if things are acting as predicted. So what are others using?
