Know before you fly. Avior turns complex weather, wind and space weather data into one clear answer: is it a good time to fly your drone? Open the app and see your Fly Score instantly, from 0 to 100, with a simple verdict: Good to Fly, Caution or No-Fly. Built for drone pilots who are tired of checking five different apps before every flight. YOUR FLIGHT CONDITIONS AT A GLANCE - Fly Score: one number that combines wind, gusts, rain, visibility, temperature and geomagnetic activity - Clear verdicts: Good to Fly, Caution or No-Fly, with the exact reasons listed - Best flight window: see the ideal hours to fly today at a glance WIND THAT MATTERS AT ALTITUDE Surface wind is only half the story. Avior shows wind speed and direction at the surface, 80 meters and 120 meters, so you know what your drone will actually face up there. Track gusts through the day and plan around them. KP INDEX AND GPS CONFIDENCE Geomagnetic storms can degrade GPS accuracy and cause erratic drone behavior. Avior shows the current KP index, a 3 day forecast and a plain language explanation of what it means for your flight. No jargon, just answers. PLAN THE WEEK AHEAD A 7 day forecast with hour by hour Fly Scores helps you pick the right day for that shoot, inspection or practice session before you commit. SAVE YOUR FLIGHT SPOTS Keep your favorite locations one tap away, each with a live Fly Score badge. Perfect for pilots who rotate between regular sites. CHECK FROM YOUR LOCK SCREEN Widgets put your Fly Score and next best flight window on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, so you know conditions before you even open the app. MADE FOR EVERY PILOT Whether you fly for aerial photography, mapping, inspections, FPV or pure fun, Avior gives you the confidence to launch at the right moment and the wisdom to wait when conditions turn. Avior is named after a navigation star, because pilots have always read the sky. Avior provides weather information only. Always check official airspace, NOTAM and local regulations before flying.

About

UAV Drone Forecast

Features

Every drone weather app shows you numbers. UAV Drone Forecast gives you the answer. GO / CAUTION / NO-GO — one verdict, computed for YOUR drone. Pick from 32 models (DJI Mini, Air, Mavic, Avata, Inspire, Matrice and more) and the safety limits come from the manufacturer's real wind rating, not a generic guess. A Mini 2 and a Matrice 350 do not fly in the same weather, and this app knows it. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Honest data, or no data. Every number on screen comes from a real source — measured airport reports (METAR), official aerodrome forecasts (TAF), live satellite orbits, real airspace boundaries. When a source is unavailable the app says "no data". It never invents a reading. • Flight windows, not tables. The 16-day forecast tells you "Fly 06:00–15:00" for each day instead of handing you a wall of numbers to interpret. • A time band you can scrub. Drag across the day and watch the verdict, the wind arrow on the map and every tile follow. Sunrise, sunset, stars and the actual moon phase included. • Wind by altitude. Ground to 120 m in your legal envelope — coloured by your drone's limits — plus the free atmosphere up to 5.6 km for context. • Real airspace. FAA LAANC grids in the US and worldwide zones from a community-maintained open aviation database, drawn on a fast vector map with your drone's transmission range and visual line-of-sight rings. Zones that can't affect a drone at 120 m are shown as advisory instead of painting your whole city red. • Save your spots. Long-press the map to save a launch site; every saved pin shows its own live verdict, so the map answers "where can I fly today?" • Visible satellites, computed for real. GPS + Galileo + BeiDou counts from live orbital data — not a hardcoded guess. • Quality vs safety, separated. Gusty air that would shake cinematic footage is a warning, not a fake no-go. Darkness is advice ("obstacle sensors may not work"), never a veto. The no-go line is your aircraft's physics. • Find yourself instantly. Open the app and it centres on where you stand (with your permission) — or search any place on Earth. No account, no ads. Data: Open-Meteo, NOAA (METAR/TAF, Kp), CelesTrak, FAA UAS Facility Maps, open aviation data (CC BY-NC 4.0), OpenFreeMap © OpenStreetMap contributors. Weather and airspace data are not certified for flight planning. Always check your national aviation authority and NOTAMs before every flight.
