Preflight weather briefings that make the call clearer — METARs decoded, hazards surfaced, go/no-go backed by your personal minimums.
Download on the App StoreSkyBrief pulls live METARs and TAFs from aviationweather.gov and translates every line into plain English — with the numbers that matter for your flight up front.
Plain-English summary, hazard callouts, and a go / caution / no-go call — computed on-device from live METAR, TAF, and PIREP data by a rule-based engine, so the same weather always yields the same verdict. Flight rules, winds, ceilings, runway crosswinds, and a daylight-and-currency timeline, all on one screen you can reorder to taste.
Route planner with nav log and winds aloft, weight & balance that feeds your fuel burn, the XC Wizard that walks route → weather → W&B → briefing packet in one pass, a heads-down kneeboard for the cockpit, and a multi-day trip planner for the out-and-back.
A METAR to decode and a decision scenario every day, a weekly accident case study, and the full study stack behind it — mock written exams, a deck that re-drills every question you've ever missed, real FAA approach plates, and anonymous DPE debriefs from actual checkrides.
Hands-off GPS tracking records the flight and hands you a filled-in logbook draft — times, route, landings, night split. Replay the track afterward, watch your 61.109 requirements fill in as you go, and import what you already have from ForeFlight or Garmin.
Radar and satellite, current and forecast icing, turbulence, winds and temps aloft, prog charts, AIRMETs and SIGMETs — the imagery stack a briefer would pull, organized for one quick sweep. Free, all of it.
