foreflight - how to get free real time weather

Post by pink_albatross »

Free real time weather through the FAA's FIS-B service:
http://www.eaa.org/news/2012/2012-03-29_weather.asp
and:
http://www.foreflight.com/stratus
nine hour battery life and dimensions are 5.8" x 4.2" x 1.1"
You'd need an ipad for the display though

p.s. disclaimer - not in any way affiliated with foreflight. However, I can find out loads about the free FIS-B products. You can even give me suggestions on what kind of weather you'd like to have access to in flight and I can put a bug in someone's ear. Can't make any promises that it would actually get developed though.
