Overview
Decode METARs anywhere on the web. Auto-highlights METARs on aviation sites with hover-to-decode. Built for pilots and dispatchers.

Hover any highlighted METAR for a full decode in a tooltip — no clicks, no copying, no switching tabs. - On any other website, click the "Scan page" button and the extension finds every METAR on the page and lets you decode each with one click. Internal dispatch systems, flight planning tools, briefing platforms — anywhere a METAR appears.
