TAFCast

TAFCast delivers instant, glanceable pre-flight aviation weather briefings. Built by pilots, for pilots. Whether you are doing a ramp check before taxi or checking conditions hours ahead, TAFCast gathers live METAR, TAF, 24-hour wind outlooks, runway crosswinds, and NOTAMs for every airfield you fly — cached on your phone so it opens instantly, even with one bar of signal or none. KEY FEATURES: ✈ GLANCEABLE CARDS (ISLANDS) Reorder your briefing cards to match the way you fly. View METAR and TAF decoded when you need quick clarity, or raw when you want the official telemetry untouched. ✈ 24-HOUR WIND OUTLOOK Hour-by-hour forecast wind speed, direction, and peak gusts powered by Open-Meteo. See afternoon thermal breezes, front passages, and shifts before they reach the circuit. ✈ RUNWAY CROSSWIND COMPONENTS Calculated headwind and crosswind components for every runway at your airport, with automatic identification of the favored runway based on current surface wind. ✈ FILTERED NOTAMs Real-time active aeronautical notices filtered specifically to your airfields — without reading through a 40-page briefing pack. ✈ SYNTHETIC AIRFIELD OUTLOOK (SAO) Flying to unmonitored airfields? For small aerodromes with no official weather station, TAFCast generates a model-based Synthetic Airfield Outlook (SAO). Clearly marked advisory output so you never fly into a blank. ✈ RESIZABLE HOME-SCREEN WIDGET Monitor your saved airfields right from your Android home screen. Swipe or tap through your saved fields, check flight categories (VFR, MVFR, IFR), and jump straight into the full briefing with a tap. ✈ REAL-TIME ALERTS Background notifications for wind crossing safety thresholds, flight category shifts (e.g. VFR to IFR), or newly published NOTAMs. ✈ OFFLINE-FIRST & PRIVATE No account, no sign-up, no advertising, and no tracking. All saved airfields, preferences, and cached weather data stay on your device. DISCLAIMER: TAFCast is for situational awareness only. It is not certified for navigation or flight planning, and is not an official meteorological or aeronautical information service. Always obtain an official AIS / MET briefing before every flight.
