I posted this about 6 months ago on the review section but it is not longer there.

I know Weathermeister has been discussed here once before a few months ago. I just wanted to tell everyone about my experience.

I am heavily involved with flight-testing. I just returned from a very compressed/intense 3-week test period. We were flying 4 to 6 test events during day and night conditions. During the 3 weeks of testing I exclusively used Weathermeister.com to gather and brief Notams/TFR/weather conditions. Every single piece of information that was necessary to brief the aircrew was easily available. I showed the information to the guys and how easy it was to collect. They were amazed. I told them all the information was collected in one website. No need to use multiple sources. During the 3 weeks of testing, time was very valuable. Being able to get the correct information in minimum time was awesome! Once we completed all the testing, I was told to plan our route back home (avoiding any TFR due to the California fires). I quickly planned the flight back home using Weathermeister. The route had us going over 2 TFRs. Once the TFRs were shown on the map, I made some corrections in order to avoid the areas.

As a professional conducting flight test, I am asked to evaluate systems and find problems. It is very rare that we actually talk about things that are working well or make our life easier. I am taking the time to say Weathermeister works well and kept us safe while conducting a very compressed test schedule. If you have a chance, go check them out.

The information that I post is just that; information and my own personal experiences. You need to weight out the pros and cons and make up your own mind/decisions. The pictures posted may not show the final stage or configuration. Build at your own risk.

Hi Axel,

Just thought I'd look to see if something happened to your previous thread...I found it by searching for "Threads started By" and your user name:

I love WM. I was using it when it was free and now subscribe.

A special plug is due for Dan making it accessible for those of us with mobile phone browsers (e.g., Blackberry). WM works very well with these devices.
