## What is SOLUS Copilot?

SOLUS Copilot — AI Flight Intelligence

  The pre-flight brief the FAA never mandated. SOLUS is an AI copilot that helps GA pilots
  make better go/no-go decisions.

  Mission Brief
  Get a personalized PAVE-framework brief before every flight. Weather, NOTAMs, currency,
  aircraft status, weight & balance, and pilot readiness — synthesized into one actionable
  risk picture.

  Pre-Flight Readiness
  30-second IMSAFE self-check. Sleep, stress, fatigue, medication, and alcohol factors
  surface in your brief as decision support. Your data stays on your device — never shared
  with instructors, schools, or employers.

  Weight & Balance
  Load your aircraft, see your CG plotted on the envelope in real time with takeoff and
  landing points. Scorecard format: weight, CG, limits, go/no-go — all at a glance.

  NOTAM Intelligence
  NOTAMs in plain English, ranked by severity. Runway closures and GPS interference surface
  first. Route-aware filtering by departure time, runway, and altitude.

  Currency Tracking
  All five FAR 61.57 currency requirements tracked with exact expiry dates. Flight review,
  medical, day/night landings, IFR currency, and tailwheel.

  Risk Score
  Pre-departure risk score built from currency, recency, aircraft status, pilot readiness,
  and time-of-day fatigue data. Transparent scoring — every factor explained.

  Also Includes
  - Live METAR, TAF, PIREPs, and GPS spoofing alerts
  - NTSB accident database search
  - FAR/AIM reference
  - Logbook sync (MyFlightbook, LogTen Pro, CSV)
  - Post-flight debrief
  - Density altitude and performance planning

  SOLUS is a decision-support tool. All go/no-go decisions rest with the pilot-in-command
  per FAR 91.7.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-07-26

8. Weather tab NOTAM display
  - Enter "KJFK" in departure airport, click Get METAR
  - NOTAMs section appears below PIREPs
  - HIGH severity NOTAMs have red left border + "HIGH" badge
  - MEDIUM severity NOTAMs have amber left border + "MEDIUM" badge
  - LOW severity NOTAMs have default border + "LOW" badge
  - Each NOTAM shows plain English headline (not raw ICAO text)
  - Time context shows below headline ("Until Jul 25" etc.)

  9. No NOTAMs state
  - Enter a small airport with no active NOTAMs
  - Should show "No active NOTAMs for {airport}"

  10. API error state
  - Temporarily break the API key (or test when Notamify is down)
  - Should show amber warning: "NOTAM data temporarily unavailable..."

  Mobile Tests (Expo Go)

  Severity Classification Spot Checks

  13. Manually verify classifications against real data
  After fetching NOTAMs for a busy airport (KJFK, KLAX, KORD):
  - Runway closures at that airport = HIGH
  - GPS interference NOTAMs = HIGH
  - TFR/restricted airspace = HIGH
  - Taxiway closures = MEDIUM
  - Lighting outages = MEDIUM
  - Administrative NOTAMs = LOW
  - If any classification seems wrong, note the NOTAM number and raw text
