The weather for your airfields, right on the schedule.
RALPH decodes the reports and forecasts for your airfields and lays them hour by hour along the schedule, next to the bookings they affect. Nobody has to read raw code to see what the afternoon holds. When the forecast turns, Ralph tells the people whose flights it touches, and they decide what to do. RALPH shows the weather; the go or no-go stays with the pilot in command.
How it works
- Add your airfields. Tell RALPH, or Ralph, which airfields you fly from, and their reports and forecasts start arriving.
- Read it on the schedule. Wind, visibility and cloud are decoded and set out hour by hour along the timeline, beside the bookings they fall across.
- Hear when it turns. When a new forecast changes the picture, Ralph tells the people booked into those hours, so nobody finds out at the airfield.

Questions, answered
- Which weather does RALPH show?
- The published reports and forecasts for the airfields you fly from, decoded into plain words and numbers, and set out hour by hour along the schedule.
- Does RALPH decide whether a flight goes?
- No. RALPH shows the weather and tells people when it changes, but the decision stays with the pilot in command and your operation's own procedures. There are no weather limits to set up in RALPH.
- Who hears when the forecast turns?
- The people booked into the hours it affects, such as the pilots and instructors on those bookings. Ralph says what changed and which bookings it touches, and anyone can ask Ralph to move a booking if they choose to.
- Can I still read the raw report?
- Yes. The original report and forecast sit beside the decoded version, word for word, for anyone who wants to read them.
