Weather and NOTAMs, read aloud. Decoding METAR, TAF and NOTAMs before every flight is slow and error-prone. Pilot Briefer turns them into plain language and reads them aloud, in English or French, with proper aviation terminology. A map follows the audio and shows each airfield and each NOTAM as it is spoken. Trusted by over 4,000 pilots. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose Local Flight or Navigation 2. Pick your airfield (or departure and destination), or tap My Position to find the nearest one 3. Choose what you want: Weather, NOTAMs, or both 4. Tap Get Briefing and listen while you walk to the aircraft NEW: NOTAMS IN YOUR BRIEFING - NOTAMs for your airfield, or for your route from departure to destination - Read aloud in plain language, after the weather or on their own - Every NOTAM on the map with its own icon and, for an area, its outline - The map shows the NOTAM being spoken and opens its card: altitudes, radius, schedule, validity, full text - Choose what matters to you: VFR, IFR, en route, wide area - Set the altitude band and the corridor width along your route - The coded NOTAM is always one tap away WEATHER, THE WAY YOU WANT IT - Animated VFR charts, colour-coded by flight category (VFR, MVFR, IFR, LIFR) - Animated wind, ceiling and visibility, in sync with the audio - TAF forecast clock: see how conditions change across the forecast period - Weather cards: a clear summary of each airfield - Stale METARs and expired TAFs are flagged or left out, so you know how fresh the data is SUMMARY OR ITEM BY ITEM - Summary: one briefing for the whole route or area - Item by item: each airfield and each NOTAM in turn, on the map, in the text and in the audio NO COMPROMISE ON ACCURACY Every interpretation comes with the original coded report. Tap the Raw tab to read the METAR, TAF or NOTAM it was made from. WHY PILOTS USE IT - Spoken briefings: listen instead of reading - Bilingual English and French, with proper phraseology (QNH in hPa, feet, Zulu time) - Your route drawn on the map, from departure to destination - Nearest airfield from your GPS position - Keeps playing when the screen locks, with lock-screen controls - Thousands of airports, heliports and microlight fields, including French ULM strips - On iPhone and iPad PERFECT FOR - VFR pilots planning a local flight or a cross-country - Flight instructors walking students through the weather and NOTAMs - Student pilots learning to read METAR, TAF and NOTAMs - Microlight, glider and ULM pilots who need a fast briefing on the field IMPORTANT Pilot Briefer is a decision-support tool. It does NOT replace the official pre-flight briefing from your national aeronautical information service. Always check the weather and every NOTAM in full in official sources before flight.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: FLYLOG.io at none against Pilot's shown. FLYLOG.io also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (108 vs 2). Pilot's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
