Co-Pilot Flight Data App

Co-Pilot is a flight data app tailored towards pilots and air safety personnel.

It requests information via API calls about individual airports in the form of Metars, TAFs and NOTAMS and displays this information in a convenient and easy to read interface.

This app was created by Nick Doyle and Dylan Leard.

Heroku

A demo version without the styled map is available on heroku. https://quiet-plateau-76741.herokuapp.com/
