## What is Threshold?

Threshold makes airfield weather easier to read before you fly. Choose your home airfield and whether you are learning or qualified, then open a briefing without planning a route first.

Read the nearby report and forecast in plain language. See cloud ceiling, visibility, wind and gusts, check when the information was issued, and open the original report and forecast when you need the source wording.

Set personal weather limits and compare them with available conditions. If you are learning, agree your limits with your instructor. Confirm a runway to review its crosswind. A comparison with your limits does not establish that a flight is safe.

Add a flight when you want a departure window. Threshold shows forecast changes across that window, keeps saved flights close at hand, and can show a compact weather summary in Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. You can choose to watch a flight before departure; updates depend on refreshes.

Every briefing makes its coverage visible. Nearby reporting-airfield conditions may differ from your airfield. Route weather, route daylight and notices are not checked by Threshold. Use the appropriate official sources and your own judgement for the full preflight briefing.

Threshold includes a free briefing, with additional features available through an optional Threshold Pro subscription. Available plans and prices are shown in the app. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled in your Apple subscription settings.
