SOLUS Copilot - AI Flight Intelligence The pre-flight brief the FAA never mandated. SOLUS is an AI copilot that helps GA pilots make better go/no-go decisions. Mission Brief Get a personalized PAVE-framework brief before every flight. Weather, NOTAMs, currency, aircraft status, weight & balance, and pilot readiness, synthesized into one actionable risk picture. Pre-Flight Readiness 30-second IMSAFE self-check. Sleep, stress, fatigue, medication, and alcohol factors surface in your brief as decision support. Your data stays on your device, never shared with instructors, schools, or employers. Weight & Balance Load your aircraft, see your CG plotted on the envelope in real time with takeoff and landing points. Scorecard format: weight, CG, limits, go/no-go, all at a glance. NOTAM Intelligence NOTAMs in plain English, ranked by severity. Runway closures and GPS interference surface first. Route-aware filtering by departure time, runway, and altitude. Currency Tracking All five FAR 61.57 currency requirements tracked with exact expiry dates. Flight review, medical, day/night landings, IFR currency, and tailwheel. Risk Score Pre-departure risk score built from currency, recency, aircraft status, pilot readiness, and time-of-day fatigue data. Transparent scoring, every factor explained. Also Includes - Live METAR, TAF, PIREPs, and GPS spoofing alerts - NTSB accident database search - FAR/AIM reference - Logbook sync (MyFlightbook, LogTen Pro, CSV) - Post-flight debrief - Density altitude and performance planning SOLUS is a decision-support tool. All go/no-go decisions rest with the pilot-in-command per FAR 91.7.
