Your weather briefing, read aloud. Decoding aviation weather bulletins is slow and error-prone — whether you're planning a local flight or a long cross-country. Pilot Briefer turns cryptic METAR and TAF codes into plain language and reads them aloud with proper ICAO and DGAC aviation terminology. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose Local Flight or Navigation 2. Pick your airfield (or departure + destination), or tap My Position to find the nearest one 3. Tap Get Briefing 4. Listen while you walk to the aircraft — the map animates the conditions as the briefing plays THREE VIEWS, ONE BRIEFING • Interactive map — color-coded by flight category (VFR, MVFR, IFR, LIFR) with animated wind, ceiling and visibility overlays synced to the audio • Weather cards — structured, scannable summaries of each element at every airfield • Spoken narration — natural-language briefing in your chosen language, played automatically TWO OPERATING MODES • Local flight — pattern work, training sorties, single-airfield briefings • Navigation — route-based briefing with stations ordered along your flight path, drawn on the map NO COMPROMISE ON ACCURACY Every AI interpretation is backed by the raw METAR and TAF it was generated from. Tap the Raw tab to see the source text. Stale METARs and expired TAFs are automatically flagged or filtered, so you always know how fresh the data is. WHY PILOTS USE IT • Spoken briefings — METAR and TAF translated into natural language and read aloud track by track • Bilingual — fully localized English and French, with proper phraseology (QNH in hPa, feet, Zulu time) • AI-powered — Amazon Nova on AWS Bedrock, with adaptive prompts tuned per report • TAF forecast clock — a circular timeline shows how conditions evolve across the forecast period • Flight path route line — your route drawn on the map from departure to destination • Find your nearest airfield — GPS-based lookup with instant ICAO resolution • Overview or per-field — regional summary across your route, or drill into each station individually • Background playback — keeps playing when the screen locks, with lock-screen media controls • Global airfield database — thousands of airports, heliports and microlight fields, including hard-to-find French ULM strips • Privacy-friendly — no account, no sign-up, no tracking AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE Pilot Briefer runs on iPhone and iPad. Your settings follow you across devices. PERFECT FOR • VFR pilots planning a local flight or cross-country • Flight instructors walking students through a weather decision • Student pilots learning to decode METAR and TAF • Anyone who prefers listening over reading in the cockpit IMPORTANT Pilot Briefer is a decision-support tool. It does NOT replace official pre-flight briefings from your national aeronautical information service (AIS). Always cross-check critical data with the official source before flight.
