Drone Mate: Flight Planner

Check conditions before takeoff with flight scores, hourly forecasts, winds aloft, aircraft-based guidance, map locations, mission plans, and preflight checklists.

Plan with data, not guesswork.

Drone Mate is a preflight weather and mission planning app built for drone pilots. It brings weather, winds at different altitudes, aircraft information, map locations, mission details, and preflight checklists into one clear workflow.

GET A CLEAR FLIGHT REFERENCE

View a flight score for the selected location, time, and aircraft. Simple condition labels help you quickly understand whether the forecast looks favorable, requires caution, or is not recommended. You can then review the underlying weather details before making your decision.

SEE THE WEATHER THAT MATTERS TO DRONE PILOTS

• Sustained wind and gust speed
• Precipitation probability
• Visibility
• Temperature and dew point
• Cloud coverage
• Wind direction
• Winds aloft
• Kp index
• Hourly wind and temperature trends

EXPLORE WIND BY ALTITUDE AND TIME

Select a date, hour, and altitude to review sustained wind, gusts, and direction. Compare conditions with the selected aircraft profile to identify when the wind is approaching or exceeding a relevant reference level.

BUILD YOUR AIRCRAFT HANGAR

Add and select commonly used drone models from the aircraft catalog. The selected aircraft can be used across weather analysis, wind guidance, and mission planning without repeatedly entering its basic details.

CHOOSE AND SAVE FLIGHT LOCATIONS

Use the map to choose a location, inspect its position, and save frequently used places. Check conditions for where you are now or for a location you plan to visit later.

PLAN AND SAVE MISSIONS

Create a mission with its location, date, time, altitude, aircraft, and mission type. Saved missions display forecast information and a flight score for the planned conditions, making it easier to review the details again before departure.

RUN A CUSTOM PREFLIGHT CHECKLIST

Create checklist items that match your workflow, then confirm each item before takeoff. Keep aircraft, environment, and operational checks together so important steps are easier to remember.

USE YOUR PREFERRED UNITS

Choose between kilometers per hour and miles per hour, meters and feet, Celsius and Fahrenheit, and metric or imperial visibility units.

IDEAL FOR

• Aerial photography and travel
• Recreational drone flying
• Outdoor flight practice
• Production planning and location checks
• Organizing future drone missions
• Reviewing conditions before takeoff

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

Drone Mate provides weather and flight-condition references only. It does not provide flight authorization and is not a substitute for local laws, airspace information, official weather warnings, the aircraft manufacturer's instructions, or direct observation at the flight location. Forecasts may be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, or subject to rapid change. Before every flight, verify local regulations, airspace restrictions, site conditions, and aircraft status. The pilot remains solely responsible for deciding whether and how to fly.
