Enjoy an unmatched briefing experience. Say goodbye to sifting through irrelevant data. Our app lets you focus on whats essential – the right airports, time periods, and TAF sections. With TAFs visualized on a timeline, you gain instant weather understanding. Easily select the best alternate airports along your route. Simply create a group of airports from your chosen country.





Dive deep into any airports details. Explore weather, wind, and sunlight forecasts on a timeline. Assess the overall wind situation and view every runway from a pilot’s perspective. Swipe through relevant NOTAMs, sorted by importance [1]. And theres much more.
