Built-In AI Path
This first version uses local search and browser speech. A later version can add a real AI Q&A model, narrated videos, or an animated training avatar after you choose an API provider and privacy rules.
METAR / SPECI / COR
Hover terms to learn shorthand without opening a manual.
Flight Category
VFR, MVFR, IFR, and LIFR are based on ceiling and visibility. The app shows the category near each current report.
TAF / AFD / SPC
TAF gives terminal forecast timing. AFD explains forecaster reasoning. SPC gives convective outlooks, watches, MDs, and storm reports.
