You can check the date of the latest METAR that SkyDemon has by going to the METAR section for the airfield. Thanks for this feature! I would find it more intuitive to see it with the metars directly.

Hi Tim, for LOWZ or EDMK Metars are issued, but I don't find the density altitude under the Landing-Information-Tab. at LOWI density altitude is provided. Why?

Please include this feature. Without mentioning it, this feature has been included for many aerodromes on the airport information page, thank you very much! At the moment it's only included for larger airfields. Will it come for all places?

Group: Forum Members Posts: 7, Visits: 4	+x ArnaudC - 6/20/2019 2:38:46 PM I use a separate app (AeroWeather) that gives more flexibility on displaying METARs and TAFs, and also calculates the DA based on the latest numbers. I know this app and I use it too because SD is unable. But I just think it would be more handy to have everything at one place - in SD. Best wishes, Alex
