About

FlightChecked

Features
Read full description

FlightChecked streamlines your preflight briefing, helping you manage the volume of operational data before you head to the aircraft. Instead of wading through blocks of cryptic NOTAM text and raw forecast strings, you get clean, decoded, and easily scannable information for every airport and FIR on your route. Built for pilots, by pilots. — FLIGHT OVERVIEW — All your upcoming flights in one place, each with a quick snapshot of departure and destination weather and NOTAM status. Spot deteriorating conditions or new restrictions before you open the full briefing. — TAF AS A TIMELINE — Visibility, ceiling, and weather phenomena are parsed from each TAF and presented cleanly. Wind components are resolved against the runway diagram and corrected for local magnetic variation. The full forecast is shown as a color-coded timeline for rapid VFR/MVFR/IFR assessment. — NOTAM DECODE & MAP — Hundreds of NOTAMs, instantly readable. We translate raw NOTAMs into structured, plain language and plot spatially relevant obstacles and restrictions on an interactive map — instead of burying them in cryptic text. — ENROUTE OVERVIEW — See your departure, destination, and enroute alternates together. Smart ERA suggestions surface suitable enroute alternates for your route, with relevant NOTAMs and weather appearing exactly where they matter along the way. — FIR NOTAM MAP — Every FIR your route crosses, visualized with airspace restrictions, obstacles, and hazards plotted where they are. Smart filters surface only NOTAMs relevant to your flight — close to your route, at your cruising altitudes, and active during your crossing time — sorted by aircraft-aware severity. — WEATHER & NOTAM ALERTS — Proactive notifications in the hours before departure. Alerts are scoped to airports on your active route and filtered by severity and time relevance, so you hear about the fog, wind, or new restriction that actually affects you. — COMING SOON — AI-generated briefing notes tailored to flight phase and timing, runway and taxiway closures on airport layouts, and weather-aware fuel tracking. WHY FLIGHTCHECKED  • 1,000+ NOTAMs decoded daily  • 200+ airports supported  • 200+ FIRs supported Less time decoding. More time understanding the big picture. Download FlightChecked now and fly with clearer context. FlightChecked is a supplementary aid that aims to enhance a pilot's situational awareness and does not replace official briefing sources or pilot-in-command judgment. Always consult authoritative aeronautical data for your flight. Questions? support@daelead.co Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
