Our commitment
FlightWeatherWatch is committed to making its website and generated weather briefings accessible to as many people as possible, including people who rely on assistive technologies. Our target standard is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA.
What we do
The application is built with semantic HTML, properly labeled form controls, keyboard-operable components, sufficient color contrast, text alternatives for meaningful images, and live-region announcements for asynchronous status updates (such as briefing generation progress). We test pages with automated accessibility tooling (axe-core, WCAG 2.1 A/AA ruleset) as part of development.
Known limitations
Weather chart imagery: briefings embed graphical weather products produced by government sources (NOAA, NWS, the Aviation Weather Center). These are raster images whose full meteorological content cannot be conveyed in a text alternative. Each chart carries a descriptive label, its valid time, and a link to the original source, and the briefing's written analysis summarizes the operationally significant content of the charts in plain language.
Raw aviation data: METAR, TAF, PIREP, and similar products are reproduced in their standardized aeronautical shorthand, as pilots expect; the briefing presents decoded, plain-language interpretation alongside them.
Feedback and assistance
If you encounter an accessibility barrier anywhere on this site or in a generated briefing, or need information from the service in an alternative format, please contact support@flightweatherwatch.com. Please include the page or briefing involved and the assistive technology you were using; we aim to respond promptly and to fix confirmed barriers.
