The fifth tab is a flight planner which allows the user to import an FSX flight plan and edit it based on the current weather conditions. METAR data for each airport is also given and includes conditions (in intervals of 3000 feet) from ground level, right up to 56,000 feet. The fourth tab allows the user to input an airport ICAO code, which then feeds back information such as the airport's location, the local time, temperature, wind speeds, visibility and even its elevation.

The third tab shows an interactive world map which allows the user to zoom into different locations, toggle different pieces of information such as clouds and stations, and look at specific information regarding AI aircraft, visibility, airports and weather stations. There is a choice of three different modes: Live Weather, Historical Weather (going back 2 years) and the third option, Custom Weather, which allows the user to create their own METAR data and apply it to a station.

The second tab named 'Wx Control' is where the user can select what type of weather the simulator will enable. When you load up the software, you are taken to the Active Sky home page which contains popular METAR data from around the world, news and updates from the developers and a list of storms and hurricanes along with their locations.
