Capabilities

Everything for a quick route check.
Nothing you don't need.

VectorWX filters the noise. Only enroute products that intersect your route, decoded in plain English with FAA-standard color coding.

☁️

METAR & TAF Decode

Automatic plain-English translation of origin and destination weather. Ceiling, visibility, wind, and remarks decoded at a glance.

VFR Color Coding

FAA-standard VFR, MVFR, IFR, and LIFR color badges on every item — the same flight-category colors used in aviation weather products.

✈️

Route Corridor Filter

G-AIRMET, SIGMET, CWA, and PIREP filtered to your actual route corridor. Not every alert in the country.

Personal Minimums

Set ceiling, visibility, and max crosswind — the app compares live METAR/TAF and shows a green / amber / red route indicator with factual reasons.

⚜️

Crosswind Calculator

Headwind and crosswind components for every runway at origin and destination from live METAR winds.

⚠️

Route NOTAMs

Origin, destination, and enroute NOTAMs along your corridor — including TFR and airspace alerts with geo filtering.
