Before every drone flight, check the drone weather first. FlyReady uses the real-time drone weather at your location to tell you whether you can fly your drone today, with a flyability score — then goes further, calculating your aircraft's flight time, mission feasibility and aerial photography & mapping plans. It's not just a weather app; it's an all-in-one drone flight planner with a built-in flight time calculator. ■ Can I fly my drone today? — Flyability score Combines real-time weather (wind, wind speed, temperature, precipitation, visibility) and the geomagnetic Kp index into a 0-100 flyability score with a clear verdict. Get a morning notification on whether you can fly today and check in advance if it's a windy day. ■ Can your drone do this mission? — Performance & flight time calculator Enter battery, weight, motor and propellers to calculate theoretical flight time, max range and safety warnings. Add live wind and payload and this drone calculator tells you "this round trip is feasible with X minutes to spare." Save multiple aircraft profiles too. ■ Aerial photography & drone mapping planner Pick a camera preset (DJI, Galaxy) and a survey purpose (orthomosaic, inspection, surveying, agriculture) and this photogrammetry planner auto-calculates recommended altitude, photo count, flight distance and duration — and even analyzes the legal altitude limit. ■ Safety thresholds at a glance Key battery, wind, distance and altitude thresholds, plus charts of how wind and payload affect flight time. ■ Why FlyReady · All-in-one — drone weather + performance + mission + aerial mapping in one app · 20 languages · real-time data (WeatherAPI weather, NOAA space weather Kp) From hobby flying to industrial photography and surveying, plan your next drone flight more safely and smartly. Note: For reference only. Always verify actual drone flight permission (flight authorization, airspace, etc.) against your country's aviation law and official sources; you are responsible as the operator. Results are approximate.

About

UAV Drone Forecast

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.
