Pilot feedback

AviatorJones

Hi,
I have been using Windy for many years now and as a airline pilot I really enjoy using it in my daily work. I’s a very handy tool for pre-flight and I have therefore subscribed as a premium member.
Here is a few things that could be considered for future updates - from a pilots point of view.

in the NOTAMS section it is possible to mark a notam as read which is great and I personally use it as a ‘not important’-mark. Would it be possible to add a highlight-mark ideally with another colour for notams with higher importance?
SNOWTAMS added to notam section.
Added layer with SIGWX, SIGMETS, AIRMETS and forecasted jet streams.
Basic flight planning where it would be possible to plot in route with departure, destination and alternate aerodromes.

These suggestions are something I would personally appreciate and consider it as feedback. Again, I want to underline that I’m a very happy user of Windy in its current version.
Kind regards,
Jonas

Hi,
At least your last requests are already available in Windy:
Jet stream, Flight planner, Route planner.
Could we know which devices you use to access Windy ?

Hello,

About Flight planner / Route planner
The Windy mobile app doesn’t allow to access Windy plugins which are only available in browser version. If you try to use Windy.com with Safari on iPad you are automatically switched to the mobile app.
But there is a workaround. You need to install an other browser, Chrome for instance. And bookmark this URL https://www.windy.com/plugins?
You get the list of Windy plugins and you can load Flight planner, even with iPad (And there are other plugins interesting for pilots).
Here is a screenshot of Flight planner from my iPad:

Click on R planner to open the Route planner panel and see More options…
