PlaneWX is the Pilot's Decision Support System for general aviation. It combines weather briefing, FRAT, and a mentor network so pilots can see weather and risk, and connect with a mentor before the pressure locks in.

How far in advance can PlaneWX predict flight weather?

PlaneWX provides reliable weather intelligence from 14 days out to departure time. The accuracy improves as your flight approaches, with 76% accuracy at 24 hours, 70% at 48 hours, and 61% at 72 hours.

What is the WX Score?

The WX Score is a personalized 0-100% metric calculated against YOUR personal minimums, not generic VFR/IFR categories. It tells you the probability that weather conditions will meet your specific standards for the flight.

What is Synoptic Intelligence™?

Synoptic Intelligence™ is PlaneWX's proprietary AI technology that synthesizes NWS forecaster narratives, METARs, TAFs, NBM data, and other weather products into regional summaries and actionable insights.

Show Visibility in Meters

St. Petersburg, Florida — September 9, 2026 — PlaneWX now lets you show visibility in meters.

Profile → Preferences → Show visibility in meters. Off by default.

When it is on, visibility labels use ICAO METAR meter reporting — four digits under 10 km, rounded down. Below 50 m reads 0000. Below 800 m steps in 50s. Below 5,000 m steps in 100s. Below 10 km steps in 1,000s. At 10 km and above you see 9999 / 10+ km.

Ceiling stays in feet. Scoring and the personal minimums you stored stay in statute miles. This is display only.

The scale is sourced from ICAO METAR practice. Built for European users who asked for it — including Sven.

About PlaneWX

PlaneWX is the pilot’s decision support system, founded in 2025 by Mark Wolfgang, a Navy veteran and commercial instrument-rated pilot. Its WX Score synthesizes authoritative weather data against each pilot’s specific aircraft and personal minimums, feeds an integrated flight risk assessment built on the FAA’s PAVE framework, and connects pilots to a peer mentor network — so go/no-go planning can start up to 14 days out, not the night before. Tagline: The confidence to go, or the courage to stay™.
