PilotDeck puts real aeronautical weather in your pocket — decoded METAR and TAF, minute-by-minute rain where you are, live NOTAMs, aviation news and a full route briefing for any ICAO airport in the world. Built by a pilot, for pilots, in a clean flight-deck (FMS) style. WEATHER — FREE, FOREVER • Live METAR and TAF, decoded into plain language • Hour-by-hour forecast: temperature, wind, gusts, precipitation, pressure • 7-day outlook with wind, UV and precipitation charts • Add unlimited airports to your watchlist • Runway wind component and crosswind advisories • Everything cached for offline reading in the cockpit WEATHER WHERE YOU ARE — NEW IN 2.0 Not just airports — the weather at your exact position. A minute-by-minute nowcast tells you when rain starts and stops, a live ticker keeps wind, thunderstorm risk, fog and heat in view, and a 12-hour outlook shows the trend. AVIATION NEWS — NEW IN 2.0 Twelve trusted sources in one feed, refreshed around the clock. Incidents and regulation changes are categorised and can alert you the moment they land. Bookmark anything to read offline, or keep the news widget on your Home Screen. SMART PUSH ALERTS — THE FEATURE PILOTDECK WAS BUILT ON Follow any airport and PilotDeck watches it for you. The moment a new METAR or TAF is issued — a wind shift, a drop to IFR — an instant push reaches you, even with the app closed. ROUTE BRIEFING — YOUR WHOLE FLIGHT ON ONE SCREEN Stop gathering the picture from five places. One tap builds a complete departure–destination–alternate brief: • Hazards flagged first (density altitude, hot day, low visibility) • Live NOTAMs, sorted so the critical ones are on top • Distances, times and decoded weather for every field • A TAF timeline that shows the trend — VFR now, IFR in two hours • A plain-English verdict: GOOD TO GO / CAUTION / NOT RECOMMENDED See every country you overfly, re-route around any airspace in a few taps with the extra distance shown instantly, and watch the leg on a 3D globe. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Live airport weather with a colour-coded wind compass, your Daily Check streak and the latest aviation news — without opening the app. DAILY CHECK — A PRE-FLIGHT FOR YOUR BRAIN Every pilot checks the weather. PilotDeck also checks you. A two-minute cognitive pre-flight measures reaction, memory and decision-making, then gives you a FIT index for today. Includes an IMSAFE self-check and a 30-day trend history. PILOT GUIDE — NEW IN 2.0 An illustrated, interactive guide to every part of the app — short visual lessons instead of a manual. Like all in-app reference, it is provided in the six ICAO languages: English, Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish. TRAINING AND TOOLS • Holding Entry — direct, parallel and teardrop entries, Trainer and Time Attack • Scan & Catch — METAR scanning speed drill • Crosswind Crunch — crosswind practice with a scientific debrief • Needle Chase — ILS/LOC tracking under changing weather • Aviation quizzes with detailed explanations • Flight-planning tools: wind/drift, top-of-descent and more PILOTDECK PRO Unlock everything with a PilotDeck PRO subscription: • Unlimited training games (the free plan includes a few plays per day) • Full quiz question banks and longer quiz sessions • Daily Check history and IMSAFE self-check Weather, route briefing, NOTAMs and news are always free and are never limited by PRO.
