Weather context

Cockpit first. Learning when you need it.

Block Time starts with what helps the pilot in the cockpit: current reports, decoded chips, runway wind context, and source visibility. The learning tools are there when a student or pilot wants to inspect the code behind the display.

Next: flight logging Ground workflow

Fly Now screen showing weather chips and runway information. — **Weather in the active workflow** Weather is shown where the pilot is already working, not buried in a separate admin screen.

Pilot experience

Readable weather without hiding the raw report.

Raw and decoded

Raw METAR and TAF reports remain available while cockpit-style chips make the important pieces easier to scan.

Source-aware

NOAA aviation weather data is used by default where available. The system is designed so other user-selected weather sources can be added where supported.

Runway context

Wind and runway information are shown together so the weather display supports the flight workflow.

Learning layer

METAR / TAF Decoder and token popups help students and curious pilots understand what the weather code is saying.

Learning addition

METAR and TAF explanations for students.

METAR / TAF Decoder uses the same decoded-chip idea as the cockpit view, then adds token context and detailed explanations for learning and validation.

METAR / TAF Decoder with METAR, TAF, and decoded chips. — **METAR / TAF Decoder** Reports become readable chips for review and testing.

Weather token explanation dialog. — **Token explanations** A selected code can open a focused explanation without losing the report context.

Public references

Weather references are available here.

These links explain the sources and weather-code references used by the app. They open as reference popups first, with external source links opening in a new tab.
