FlightDecide

A good go/no-go call weighs weather, NOTAMs, runway performance, and fuel all at once. FlightDecide pulls them into one briefing and gives you a clear GO, CAUTION, or NO GO to review before you leave the ground. Build your flight and get an AI-assisted preflight briefing that gathers the scattered pieces in one place: • Path to GO: for CAUTION and NO GO flights, the exact changes that would flip the call • Free pilot tools: a built-in E6B suite (crosswind, density altitude, true airspeed, weight and balance, and more) that works offline and stays free on every plan • Aviation weather: METARs, TAFs, winds aloft, SIGMETs, G-AIRMETs, and PIREPs • NOTAM awareness for departure and destination • Weight and balance with a CG envelope check and specific load fixes • Takeoff and landing performance against actual runway lengths • Fuel planning with legal reserves and your personal minimum fuel • Cruise altitude: every altitude scored for winds, icing, and turbulence Every flight is scored across 8 risk categories, from weather and NOTAMs to performance, fuel, and weight and balance, then summarized as one GO, CAUTION, or NO GO. Set your personal minimums for ceiling, visibility, wind, and fuel, and your limits go into every analysis. Instead of jumping between a weather app, a NOTAM lookup, a performance chart, and a fuel calculator, you check one briefing. Export any analysis as a PDF for your records. FlightDecide is an advisory tool only and doesn't replace official weather briefings, approved aircraft data, or pilot in command judgment. Always verify critical information with official sources before flight. Privacy Policy: https://flightdecide.com/privacy.html Terms of Use (EULA): https://flightdecide.com/terms.html
