Minima helps pilots establish personal minimums and track their changes over time. You can also use the risk assessment to check factors impacting each flight. Using the FAA's recommended PAVE method (Pilot, Aircraft, enVironment, External pressures), get a clear picture of total risk and maintain accountability to your own personal minimums. KEY FEATURES Personal Minimums Tracker: Set your own limits for wind, ceiling, visibility, fuel, and more. Live Weather Check: Pull current and forecast conditions to check against your minimums. Risk Assessment: Work through the PAVE checklist before each flight to evaluate Pilot, Aircraft, enVironment, and External pressures. History: See how your minimums and your decisions have changed over time. Event Explorer: Browse real NTSB aviation accident and incident data, with intelligent filters to understand how and why accidents happen. Regulations set legal minimums, but safe flying requires knowing YOUR limits. Personal minimums help you make objective go/no-go decisions, and resist external pressures to fly. Now it's easier than ever to set your personal minimums, reference them before flight, and track your skills and decision changes as your personal minimums grow. Minima is a decision-support tool. The pilot in command is always responsible for the safety of every flight. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
