Pilot weather briefingsin seconds
METAR, TAF, PIREP, SIGMET & AIRMET, and winds aloft for any ICAO airport — with offline-friendly caching so a flaky cell signal at the FBO doesn't leave you guessing.
Everything pilots actually open the app for
The current weather products you reach for on every preflight, without the noise.
METAR with flight category
FAA-aligned VFR / MVFR / IFR / LIFR coloring, with decoded ceiling, visibility, wind, and altimeter — and the raw text right next to it.
TAF with decoded periods
Each FM, BECMG, and TEMPO group called out separately, plus a freshness indicator so you know how stale the forecast is.
PIREPs, SIGMETs & AIRMETs
Pilot reports near your selected airport — turbulence, icing, cloud tops the way other pilots saw it. Plus domestic and international advisories with valid windows highlighted.
Winds aloft
The raw FB product parsed into a clean, scannable table by altitude — direction, speed, and temperature, no decoder ring required.
Favorites with grouping
Home base, alternates, and that strip you always end up at — one tap away. Group by trip, region, or however your flight bag is organized.
Home-screen widget
Pin a favorite airport's latest METAR and flight category right on your launcher. Material You dynamic color picks up your wallpaper palette on Android 12+.

Built by a pilot, for pilots
SkyCast Pilot is a quick-reference weather tool for general aviation pilots, student pilots, and CFIs — the small handful of products you actually pull up on every preflight, in one fast, focused app.
A two-layer cache (in-memory plus an on-device database) keeps your last successful pull available when the network drops, and per-product TTLs match how often each product actually updates, so you're not fooled by stale SIGMETs or yesterday's TAF.
Local time is shown prominently with Zulu underneath. No mental math at 4 AM before a long cross-country.
