DroneWise vs PIC Weather Ops

Fly smarter, not harder. DroneWise is the pre-flight check every drone operator deserves — real airspace data, real weather, real drone limits, all in one place. No more juggling four browser tabs and a NOTAM PDF before you take off. — LIVE AIRSPACE OVERLAY — See every CTR, RMZ, TMA and temporary restriction painted on top of Apple Maps. Polygons are colour-coded so you know at a glance which zones are prohibited (red), controlled (orange) or merely informational (blue). Tap any zone to see its vertical limits and governing authority. Data sourced from OpenAIP (Open Aeronautical Information Platform — a community aviation database, unrelated to OpenAI), kept fresh by our backend sync. — FLIGHT READINESS, EXPLAINED — Every screen tells you whether you can fly right now — Good To Fly, Caution, or Do Not Fly. Tap any verdict and DroneWise lists the exact reasons: peak wind exceeding your drone's rated limit, Kp index degrading GPS, sunset closing the VLOS window, geomagnetic storms, heavy precipitation forecast. No mystery, no jargon. — WEATHER TUNED FOR YOUR DRONE — Pick your airframe from a catalogue of 50+ models — DJI Mini 4 Pro, Air 3, Mavic 3, Inspire, Autel EVO, Parrot Anafi, Skydio and more. Wind warnings, gust thresholds and operating-altitude advice all adjust to your drone's specs from the manufacturer's data sheet. — PLAN AHEAD — Save flights for tomorrow, next weekend, your holiday week. Each plan keeps the date, time window, altitude AGL, drone and location. DroneWise checks airspace and weather for the planned moment, not just for now — so you know on Saturday morning whether Sunday's trip is still on. — SMART ALERTS FEED — Active, Nearby (50 km), Upcoming and History filters. Tap any alert for full details: severity, time window, altitude in metres (we convert feet from FAA TFRs automatically), distance to your location. Critical alerts surface your nearest airport, controlled airspace boundaries and ADS-B traffic descending below 600 m AGL. — BUILT FOR THE WAY PILOTS WORK — - Apple Maps with Liquid Glass controls. - Metric and imperial units, fully localised. - Works in Polish and English natively. - iCloud-synced plans and favourites. - Privacy-first: no ads, no tracking, no data sold. DroneWise covers the EU Open Category by default, including the 120 m AGL ceiling for A1/A2 and Polish DRA zones. Operators flying under Specific Category authorisations can override the altitude slider and the app surfaces the corresponding regulatory warning. Whether you're a hobbyist with a sub-250g drone or a professional operator flying for inspection, mapping or cinematography, the information you need is one tap away — and the answer is always specific to your aircraft, your location and your moment of flight.

PIC Weather Ops brings weather, wind, terrain, air traffic, airspace and mission planning into one app. Built for drone pilots, RC flyers and field operators, it helps you assess conditions at your selected Mission Point, explore the surrounding area and prepare a clear mission briefing. WEATHER & WIND • Current conditions and forecasts • Wind speed, direction and gusts • Visibility, precipitation, temperature, humidity, pressure, UV and cloud cover • Weather timelines and operational weather risk indicators • In-app weather alerts, including optional U.S. National Weather Service alerts AIR TRAFFIC & AIRSPACE • View reported airplanes and helicopters near your Mission Point, with available flight details and proximity advisories • Display U.S. FAA controlled airspace, special-use airspace and UAS Facility Maps as map overlays • Add FAA Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs), with published boundaries, NOTAM references, schedules and altitude limits • Tap airspace areas to view available details • Add an optional Zones button for quick access to airspace layers • Explore airports and heliports MISSION PLANNING & TERRAIN • Select Mission Points and save locations • Use radius tools and map-based planning • Assess terrain for planned-altitude and route awareness • Review NASA FIRMS thermal detections and fire context • Check NOAA SWPC geomagnetic Kp information • Use AR Wind View for a camera overlay with compass and weather context BRIEFINGS & REPORTS • Review your Mission Brief • Listen to the briefing with Voice Brief • Export PDF reports • Choose metric or U.S. units • View times for your selected location • Use the app in English, Spanish, French or Brazilian Portuguese DATA & OPERATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY Aircraft information depends on provider coverage and may be incomplete or delayed. FAA airspace layers cover the United States. TFR map boundaries may not cover every published restriction; check the official NOTAM for schedules, altitude limits, exceptions and notices without map geometry. NASA FIRMS observations indicate thermal anomalies, not confirmed fires. PIC Weather Ops provides planning and situational-awareness support. Map layers and advisories do not grant flight authorization. The operator/Pilot in Command remains responsible for checking official weather, NOTAMs, current airspace restrictions and applicable requirements before each operation.
