Could someone tell me, whilst enroute, is there a way to get the WEATHER or NOTAM for an airport not presented in the METAR, TAF or NOTAM TABs - I'm using an IPAD2
Also I download PLATES and then they disappear - any ideas
I think I've read most info on here - any help gratefully received
Best - Westie

Hi TMF,
Many thanks indeed.
The other day in extremely bad weather, minimum VFR, I was looking for divert options and to be able to just go to a weather tab and request a TAF/METAR would have been great - in a busy cockpit I didn't want to start playing too much with routes or, at that time, come off the route I was on. Just a simple quick and easy requirement for other weather information in order to make a real time decision.
Same idea for the plates - don't always know what you want in planning - i.e. the war plan doesn't survive the first battle ! I must admit I thought the program did download the plates that I selected.
SD is a fantastic program !
I'll keep playing with it until I find a work around.
Once again many tks - best - westie

If you happen to have an internet connection in-flight (3G) -- SD would need such to get weather, in any case -- send an email to
met@flylogical.com
with your ICAO airport codes on the subject-line. You will get the METs and TAFs a few seconds later for each ICAO entry. You can also send same to plogs
@flylogical.com . You will get MET and TAFs along the route defined by the ICAO codes, as opposed to the specific entries...
Otherwise, simply call-up LONDON or SCOTTISH on radio and ask for actuals at given location...
