SkyBrief - Preflight Tool

SkyBrief is a preflight weather briefing app designed for general aviation pilots. Get everything you need for a safe departure in one place.

WEATHER BRIEFINGS Instant METAR and TAF data for any airport. See flight category (VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR), wind components, cloud layers, visibility, altimeter, and temperature at a glance. An AI-powered briefing summarizes conditions in plain language and gives you a go/no-go recommendation.

ROUTE PLANNING Enter departure, destination, and intermediate waypoints. SkyBrief checks weather at every station along your route, highlights hazards, and generates a full NavLog with ground speeds, leg times, fuel burn, and cumulative totals.

WEIGHT & BALANCE Calculate takeoff and landing weight with a visual CG envelope plot. See your center of gravity relative to the aircraft's limits. Supports multiple aircraft types with custom profiles for your own airplane.

PERSONAL MINIMUMS Set ceiling, visibility, crosswind, wind, and gust limits. SkyBrief checks every briefing against your minimums and flags violations with color-coded alerts. Separate night minimums supported.

FLIGHT RISK ASSESSMENT Built-in FRAT scores pilot fatigue, airport familiarity, trip urgency, and weather conditions to give you an overall risk level before you fly.
