The places you get to go being a pilot

The best things in Aviation are:

  • Flying
  • The People you get to know
  • The Places you get to go

At Meteo·Mobile we want to do something so that you, the more experienced aviators can share your knowledge on ” The places you get to go being a pilot ”

Often all we pilots need to get on a plane and get going is an excuse, a place to go. This is precisely our purpose, to give pilots lots of excuses to go flying!

So please go ahead and make happy pilots by sending us cool places:

  • Restaurants, Bars, Grills, BBQs to go eat
  • Nice Scenery to go see from the air
  • Nice airports, airstrips, grass-strips to go land and meet its people

You can do so, by using our Add-a-Cool-Aviation-Place form (very easy to use Googlemaps), by posting a comment to this post or even sending us an e-mail. We’ll do the rest.

Include your aviation company in our Directory

Information is what Meteo·Mobile is all about. The more useful information we can bring our pilot-users the happier we will be.

If you own an aviation-related company, we will me more than happy to list it in the nearest airport.
We welcome FBO‘s, Pilot Shops, Aeroclubs, Pilot Schools, Associations and the like…

It will only take a minute to send us your Company’s information. We’ll do the rest, and we’ll do it FREE of charge.

You and many others will benefit!

So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and list your company with us.

Use the previous link, or leave a comment to this post or e-mail us.
Don’t forget to include the ICAO identifier of your closest AIRFIELD.
Or, if you don’t have that, your coordinates would be great!

Do you own a weather station?

We would like you to let us know if you have a weather station.
Lots of airports have a meteorologist making metars; but still lots of them don’t.

For the latter, we at Meteo·Mobile try to find other sources of meteorological information.

One such source is private weather stations that can be accessed remotely in some way (many modern Wx stations -like Joe’s Davis Vantage- have a web server embedded).

Another source of weather information is a webcam. Not all webcams are good for this (many point directly to the ground hiding the sky). Some webcams are combined with a weather station. Those are great!

When we find this type of accessible meteo stations, we list them in the nearby airports that don’t have metar info.

When an aviator looks for weather info for one of these airports she will at least find your weather station. That way she does get some weather info that most likely helps her make a sound decision about the flight she is about to start.

So, if you want to list your weather station in nearby airports and airfields, please let us know through a comment on this post, using our contact form, or e-mail us.

Thanks.
