I know Weathermeister has been discussed here once before a few months ago. I just wanted to tell everyone about my experience.
I am heavily involved with flight-testing. I just returned from a very compressed/intense 3-week test period. We were flying 4 to 6 test events during day and night conditions. During the 3 weeks of testing I exclusively used Weathermeister.com to gather and brief Notams/TFR/weather conditions. Every single piece of information that was necessary to brief the aircrew was easily available. I showed the information to the guys and how easy it was to collect. They were amazed. I told them all the information was collected in one website. No need to use multiple sources. During the 3 weeks of testing, time was very valuable. Being able to get the correct information in minimum time was awesome! Once we completed all the testing, I was told to plan our route back home (avoiding any TFR due to the California fires). I quickly planned the flight back home using Weathermeister. The route had us going over 2 TFRs. Once the TFRs were shown on the map, I made some corrections in order to avoid the areas.
As a professional conducting flight test, I am asked to evaluate systems and find problems. It is very rare that we actually talk about things that are working well or make our life easier. I am taking the time to say Weathermeister works well and kept us safe while conducting a very compressed test schedule. If you have a chance, go check them out.
