Always Visible

Unlike phones or tablets that go to sleep, PaperMETAR's ePaper display remains visible 24/7 without consuming power. The crisp, high-contrast display is easy to read in any lighting condition - from bright sunlight to dim rooms. There's no need to wake up the device or refresh the screen - the latest METAR information is always there at a glance, ready when you need it.

Quiz Mode

Pilot in training? You will love the quiz mode, where you can test your knowledge of METAR coding. The quiz feature presents you with the METAR and challenges you to interpret it. With regular practice using this interactive tool, you can strengthen your METAR interpretation skills and become more proficient at quickly understanding aviation weather reports. Since METAR is refreshed often, you will get plenty of practice!

Connected

PaperMETAR connects seamlessly to your WiFi network to automatically fetch the latest METAR information. The device intelligently wakes up at regular intervals to check for updates, ensuring you always have current weather data without any manual intervention.

Low Power

PaperMETAR is designed with power efficiency in mind, using an ePaper display that only consumes power when updating the screen. Combined with an optimized low-power microprocessor that intelligently manages sleep cycles, the device can run for weeks on a single charge while still ensuring you always have current weather information.

Excellent Desk Accessory

PaperMETAR makes the perfect desk accessory with its sleek, minimalist design and paper-like display. The subtle aviation theme and real-time METAR information create an elegant conversation piece that showcases your passion for flying while complementing any workspace.
