Iter

A METAR Browsing & Flight Charting Mobile Application.

Small business and private pilots do not have a efficient and accessible method of viewing current and forecasted METAR data alongside flight path planning based on that weather data. The lack of this resource hinders a pilot’s capability to plan the most efficient and safe flight. Iter fulfills this desired need in the market. Features include graphical METAR browsing, viewing of decoded METAR data, dual flight path charting, and flight path comparison.

Supported on iOS and Android.

  • Higher better, start grading at above 5 miles
• Sky Cover:
  • Points: 15
  • CLR > SKC > FEW > SCT > BKN > OVC > OVX
• Ceiling:
  • Points: 15
  • Grading Starting at 3000 ft AGl Ceiling and 5 miles Visibility
• Flight Category:
  • Points: 30
  • VFR > MVFR > IFR > LIFR
