Could you build this?
Partial While parsing FAA NOTAMs/METARs is feasible, building reliable offline sectional map tile rendering and robust aviation data caching for pilots requires specialized GIS and aviation data processing.
What it would actually take: Requires an Android app (Kotlin/Jetpack Compose) paired with a backend fetching FAA/AviationWeather.gov APIs. The hard part is efficiently tiling, compressing, and caching massive aeronautical sectional charts offline, along with compliant decoding of complex, irregular NOTAM text strings.
