this goes out to those who make a living out of aviation. what do you use for wx radars/ forecasting? i normaly stick to DUATS for metars/ tafs, AOPA and thehub for radar images.

WSI, ADDS, and Fltplan.com.

From home, I usually use ADDS or Fltplan.com to check forecasts and other weather media, NOTAMs, and to file IFR flight plans. Once I get to the airport, I double check the weather on WSI and NOTAMs on Fltplan.com. The WSI radar graphic products are great.

Some people also seem to be using iPhones, as they have been deemed more reliable than conventional wx forcasting systems. :D

I developed it years ago and its still serves its purpose very well.

I have it mainly set up for use for:
- Flight Planning
- Storm Chasing
- Aviation Photography
