19,426 airports · Live METAR & TAF · NOTAMs · Always verify with an official briefing

One page instead of four apps

Every airport page pulls together the research you'd otherwise hunt across several sites — so you can decide in seconds whether it's worth opening ForeFlight and calling for a briefing.

🌤 Live weather at every airport

METAR, TAF, and winds aloft pulled directly from aviationweather.gov. Airports without an ASOS station get Open-Meteo current conditions. VFR/MVFR/IFR badge at a glance.

📡 Frequencies & NOTAMs

Every radio frequency — CTAF, Tower, Ground, ATIS, Approach — sorted by priority. Active NOTAMs loaded live. Runway data with surface, lighting, and ILS approach info.

📞 Airport phone & field data

The airport manager's phone number — one tap to call from your phone — plus ownership, field elevation, pattern altitude and sectional, straight from the FAA NASR database.

🗺 Satellite & terrain maps

Interactive satellite view defaults to the airport the moment you open the page. Switch to terrain for elevation awareness, or street for local area context.

☀ Sunrise & sunset

Exact local sunrise, sunset, and civil twilight times calculated for the airport's coordinates — no lookup needed, right on the airport page.

What this is not

Not a replacement for official sources. Every airport page links directly to aviationweather.gov, the FAA NOTAM system, and 1800wxBrief. Use this to gather and organize information quickly — then verify critical data from official sources before you fly.

For certificated aircraft, the approved AFM/POH governs. Every checklist on this site shows where it came from and whether someone has compared it item-by-item against that source.
