New Airport updates

Today, we’ve updated 481 airports in our database.

Some of them were listed as having METAR reports, but didn’t.
Some do have weather reports, but were listed as not having.
To some we’ve added their coordinates.
We’ve also added some new airports (like Ciudad Real LERL in Spain)

The list is long, just wanted to let you know that we keep improving.

FAA codes now welcome!

Many pilots flying in the US are used to the FAA code of an airport instead of the ICAO code.

FAA code for Los Angeles Intl is LAX whereas its ICAO code is KLAX.
We’ve seen that many pilots searching for FAA codes get lost when asking for their metars.

Now, Meteo·Mobile will suggest the ICAO code based on their queries.

Here, you can take a look at what happens now when you ask for LAX metar

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.
