Not for navigation. SimpleAvWx is a convenience tool. It is not an FAA-approved source of weather, airport, or flight planning information. Data can be late, missing, or wrong. Before every flight, get an official briefing, for example from 1800wxbrief.com or aviationweather.gov. The pilot in command is responsible for the safety of the flight. See the Terms of Use.
