About SkyBrief - Preflight Tool
SkyBrief — Preflight Weather Briefings for Pilots Honest, complete weather briefings you can trust before every flight. SkyBrief turns raw METAR, TAF, TFR and NOTAM data into a clear go/no-go picture — with no invented values and no guesswork. When a data source is unavailable, SkyBrief tells you plainly instead of filling the gap with made-up numbers. FREE • Live METAR & TAF for any U.S. airport, decoded into plain language • Automatic VFR / MVFR / IFR / LIFR flight category and a go/no-go read • NOTAM digest — active notices grouped by type, closures and restrictions first • Nearby stations, airport directory, and a 24-hour conditions trend • Weight & balance calculator with CG envelope • Flight logbook, currency tracker, and custom checklists • Home Screen widget — your home airport's conditions at a glance • Shareable briefing cards PRO • AI-powered plain-language briefings, with voice read-aloud • Route briefings with real FAA TFRs and true terrain profiles • Winds-aloft nav log and a best-altitude optimizer (compare time & fuel by altitude) • Live radar & satellite overlay on your route • Personal-minimums monitoring with optional push alerts • Kneeboard flight mode, W&B what-if scenarios, and PDF briefing export • Cloud-synced briefing history BUILT ON HONEST DATA Your decisions deserve honest inputs. SkyBrief shows real observations and forecasts from aviationweather.gov and the FAA — and is transparent whenever data is missing or a scan can't complete. ACCESSIBLE Full in-app text-size scaling and high-contrast, readable text in every lighting and sky condition. SkyBrief is a decision-support tool and is not a substitute for an official FAA weather briefing. Always obtain an official briefing before flight.
