Real-Time Weather Over VFR Sectionals
Garmin subsidiary Digital Cyclone announced Friday that Pilot
My-Cast has been released for the iPad. The new app has a
distinctive tile-format user interface designed specifically for
the iPad, and will help pilots visualize the weather along their
route so that they can make informed decisions about their intended
flight path prior to departure.
Pilot My-Cast for the iPad includes VFR aviation sectionals with
real-time, animated aviation weather; fuel prices; AOPA airport
directory; and flight planning and filing. The iPad app lets
customers overlay multiple map elements so that they have the best
information about the weather. In addition to customizable
maps, pilots can see the weather report in a text format.
Pilot My-Cast is a premium weather, flight planning and flight
filing application exclusively for customers in the U.S. and
Canada. It is the first aviation weather and flight planning app
that visually displays the pilot's planned route of flight in
conjunction with weather overlays. Pilots can enter a route using
airports, standard terminal arrival routes (STARs), standard
instrument departures (SIDs), and victor and jet airways, and then
see their flight path on a map with an overlay of the weather. By
combining the flight path with a weather overlay, pilots can
immediately see if their desired flight path is near threatening
weather. The real-time weather data overlays includes radar,
METARs, TAFs, lightning data, SIGMETS, AIRMETS, PIREPS, winds
aloft, and more.
