About this app

WeatherSpork is the strategic all-purpose weather planning application for aviators at all experience levels that will nicely complement the flight planning app(s) you normally use in the cockpit. WeatherSpork offers an inexpensive multi-faceted approach to uniquely blend online weather guidance along with aviation weather education. This includes -

1) Visualization tools such as a Meteogram, a vertical depiction of the weather over the next three days at an airport.

2) The Route Profile view is also a vertical depiction that lets you quickly see the impact of wind and hazardous weather along your proposed route of flight.

3) The Grid view coupled with the "Wheels Up Departure Advisor" lets you choose the most favorable time to fly.

To use WeatherSpork an annual subscription is required.

WeatherSpork provides fairly comprehensive weather guidance, but only provides supplemental weather information to pilots and is not a substitute for a standard weather briefing as described in FAA Advisory Circular 00-45H Change 1 (https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC_00-45H_Chg_1.pdf).

WeatherSpork is only accessible in the U.S. mainland, but look for Alaska and Hawaii to be added soon.

Ratings and reviews

Very comprehensive collection of meteorological charts and info. Worth much more than an aviation only weather app. There are videos that detail specific charts and how to interpret the info on those charts. There is a nifty route weather briefing and grid view that helps to visualize what the weather will be at various times at and around your proposed departure time. There is so much good info to explore. I love the forecast maps that show model runs for radar, clouds, winds, etc. Think the forecast radar maps that you see on your local newscast that are "in motion". Love it. Outstanding job and well worth the subscription price.
