THE NEW AOPA WEATHER, DELIVERED BY SIRIUSXM AVIATION, PROVIDES

national and airport-specific data in a mobile-friendly format that makes it
perfect for checking weather on the go via the AOPA app. AOPA members
can access the new mobile-friendly AOPA Weather and iFlightPlanner for
AOPA via the AOPA app as long as you are connected to the internet.
" These upgrades make our powerful suite of flight planning tools-
weather, flight planning, and airports database-available from your mobile
device. We specifically tailored these upgrades to make it easier for you to
plan your flights on the go, " said Jiri Marousek, AOPA senior vice president of
marketing. " As pilots, we need to be flexible, and we wanted our flight planning tools to be just as flexible so that you can access them whether you are at
home, at the airport, or enjoying an outing at a new destination. "
AOPA Weather pulls in your home and favorite airports from your
settings in the AOPA Airports and Destinations Directory, but you can also
set your home and favorites from AOPA Weather by clicking on the " Home "
and " Heart " icons within the METAR and TAF details for an airport. If you
haven't already selected a home or favorite, you can search by entering the
airport identifier.
Get radar, satellite, wind stream, surface winds, and surface analysis charts
in the Current Weather Layers and Current Weather Charts sections. Layer
radar, satellite images, and the wind stream for a detailed big-picture view
of what's happening across the country. Turn off those layers to then check
surface winds or the surface analysis.
In the Forecasts section, you can choose among a surface forecast, airmets,
or sigmets.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration charts available from
within AOPA Weather include prog charts, surface forecast, cloud forecast,
winds aloft, long-range winds aloft, freezing level, icing severity, and icing
probability.
Users can also check temporary flight restrictions within AOPA Weather.
