About PilotDeck

PilotDeck puts real aeronautical weather in your pocket — decoded METAR and TAF, minute-by-minute rain where you are, live NOTAMs, aviation news and a full route briefing for any ICAO airport in the world. Built by a pilot, for pilots, in a clean flight-deck (FMS) style. WEATHER — FREE, FOREVER • Live METAR and TAF, decoded into plain language • Hour-by-hour forecast: temperature, wind, gusts, precipitation, pressure • 7-day outlook with wind, UV and precipitation charts • Add unlimited airports to your watchlist • Runway wind component and crosswind advisories • Everything cached for offline reading in the cockpit WEATHER WHERE YOU ARE — NEW IN 2.0 Not just airports — the weather at your exact position. A minute-by-minute nowcast tells you when rain starts and stops, a live ticker keeps wind, thunderstorm risk, fog and heat in view, and a 12-hour outlook shows the trend. AVIATION NEWS — NEW IN 2.0 Twelve trusted sources in one feed, refreshed around the clock. Incidents and regulation changes are categorised and can alert you the moment they land. Bookmark anything to read offline, or keep the news widget on your Home Screen. SMART PUSH ALERTS — THE FEATURE PILOTDECK WAS BUILT ON Follow any airport and PilotDeck watches it for you. The moment a new METAR or TAF is issued — a wind shift, a drop to IFR — an instant push reaches you, even with the app closed. ROUTE BRIEFING — YOUR WHOLE FLIGHT ON ONE SCREEN Stop gathering the picture from five places. One tap builds a complete departure–destination–alternate brief: • Hazards flagged first (density altitude, hot day, low visibility) • Live NOTAMs, sorted so the critical ones are on top • Distances, times and decoded weather for every field • A TAF timeline that shows the trend — VFR now, IFR in two hours • A plain-English verdict: GOOD TO GO / CAUTION / NOT RECOMMENDED See every country you overfly, re-route around any airspace in a few taps with the extra distance shown instantly, and watch the leg on a 3D globe. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Live airport weather with a colour-coded wind compass, your Daily Check streak and the latest aviation news — without opening the app. DAILY CHECK — A PRE-FLIGHT FOR YOUR BRAIN Every pilot checks the weather. PilotDeck also checks you. A two-minute cognitive pre-flight measures reaction, memory and decision-making, then gives you a FIT index for today. Includes an IMSAFE self-check and a 30-day trend history. PILOT GUIDE — NEW IN 2.0 An illustrated, interactive guide to every part of the app — short visual lessons instead of a manual. Like all in-app reference, it is provided in the six ICAO languages: English, Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish. TRAINING AND TOOLS • Holding Entry — direct, parallel and teardrop entries, Trainer and Time Attack • Scan & Catch — METAR scanning speed drill • Crosswind Crunch — crosswind practice with a scientific debrief • Needle Chase — ILS/LOC tracking under changing weather • Aviation quizzes with detailed explanations • Flight-planning tools: wind/drift, top-of-descent and more PILOTDECK PRO Unlock everything with a PilotDeck PRO subscription: • Unlimited training games (the free plan includes a few plays per day) • Full quiz question banks and longer quiz sessions • Daily Check history and IMSAFE self-check Weather, route briefing, NOTAMs and news are always free and are never limited by PRO.

What’s new

Version 4.2 · Updated October 10, 2026

PilotDeck 4.2 — the North Atlantic tracks, live. Free, like everything else. NAT ORGANISED TRACKS (OTS) • Today's tracks on the route map: letters, direction (A ◀W, U E▶), one chevron along each, white in force and dimmed before their period — from the FAA NMS feed, refreshed every ten minutes • The message for YOUR direction comes first; when it is not out yet the map says so — "E▶ not out yet · Gander ~1400Z" — instead of showing the other way's tracks as if they were yours • A status line over the keys: "E▶ TMI 280 STARTS IN 2h 15m · 0100–0800Z · ENTRY 0539Z TMI 280" — counting down by the minute • NAT key in the left column: both directions, yesterday's message (PREV, orientation only), the areas on your route with entry and exit times, the checklists • Tap a track letter: the route as filed, levels, NAR, length, and whether your plan follows it. Tap an area title: entry and exit, the OTS of both directions, the pilot notes • Random routes are told honestly: "RANDOM ROUTE — OTS LIES N · NEAREST TRACK Z 410 NM" — a Bogotá–Porto flight runs 500 NM south of every track, and that is normal • TMI with its letter (279A) when a message is re-issued OCEANIC AREA NOTES — FROM THE SERVER, NOT A RELEASE • For each OCA: whether it still issues an oceanic clearance (Shanwick) or has moved to OCR, where "RCL RECEIVED" is not a clearance (Gander, Reykjavik, Santa Maria, New York, Bodø since 4 Dec 2024) • Clearance-delivery and HF frequencies, data-link logon and timing, SELCAL, reporting, SLOP, communication failure — with the AIP sections and AIRAC dates • Lines not confirmed from an official source are marked UNVERIFIED in amber. Notes are refreshed on the server with each AIRAC cycle; the AIP and the OTS message remain the authority TWO CHECKLISTS WITH TICK BOXES • FLIGHT — the approvals of the aircraft and the flight, once per route • ENTRY — the actions before each area, worded the way that area requires • Ticks are kept on the phone per route and area; RESET for the next flight. The NAT card sums them up: FLIGHT 4/4 · KZWY 2/4 · LPPO 0/4 THE BRIEFING • The NAT HLA card shows the OTS in force at your oceanic entry, the verdict on your plan and, when your direction is not published, yesterday's message for orientation MAP — STABILITY AND READING • Fixed: the route map ran out of memory on long oceanic routes and on return from the background. Zones now draw only when you are close enough to see them; the globe stays on the overview, the map goes flat below 2 000 km • Fixed: the country column could miss the destination country • Cards and LAYERS rows in higher contrast; cards scroll, MORE opens them full screen with the font-size key • The offline map now draws the oceanic areas and today's tracks, renders one zoom level deeper along the track, and shows "NO PACK TILE" where the pack ends • First run: satellite style, a clean map; the intro plays once, then a plate tells you where it lives • MAP REF: contents with jump links, a NAT · OCEANIC section, a TOP key Weather, NOTAMs, routes, the tracks and the notes stay free — no account, no subscription needed for any of this. Much of this release follows the letters of Capt Adil Baria, Global 6000 — the route by keyboard, the alternates, the oceanic page all started as his questions. Thank you.
