PreFlight helps drone pilots make smarter flight decisions before every launch. It evaluates wind, gusts, precipitation, visibility, temperature, and winds aloft against your aircraft’s operating limits, then shows whether conditions are favorable, marginal, or unsafe. Customize your aircraft profile with its name, photo, wind and gust limits, and flight ceiling. Everything a drone pilot checks before launch, in one place: → Current weather and hourly flight-readiness forecasts → Winds aloft from the surface to 1,000 feet → Best flying windows for the next 18 hours → Nearby METAR and TAF reports → Live ADS-B aircraft activity → Airspace boundaries and controlled airspace → FAA obstacle data for towers and antennas → Public-land drone guidance for parks, wilderness areas, forests, and other managed lands → NWS weather alerts and warnings → Lightning activity → GPS satellite and geomagnetic conditions → Civil-twilight information → Radar and precipitation overlays All data comes directly from public sources including Open-Meteo, NOAA, FAA, USGS, adsb.lol, Blitzortung, and CelesTrak. No account required. No ads. No tracking. PreFlight does not replace your judgment as pilot in command. Always perform your own preflight assessment and comply with all applicable regulations.
