Flight planner
Put your departure and arrival side by side, with the weather and the wind on every runway.
Your plan gets its own private link. Work out the crosswind, take-off and landing distances and weight and balance, save each to the plan, and print it as one briefing.
Straight answers
What does the flight planner show?
For the departure and the arrival: the latest METAR and TAF, the wind along and across every runway, the runways and frequencies, and today's sunrise, sunset and night times. Above them, the distance and the track between the two.
Where does the information come from?
Airfield details come from OurAirports, a crowd-sourced database, and the weather from the Aviation Weather Center. When an airfield files no METAR, the nearest airport that does is used, and the briefing says which.
Is this an official briefing?
No. It brings together published information to help you plan. Check NOTAMs, the AIP and an official weather briefing before you fly.
Does it check my weight and balance?
Work it out in the weight and balance calculator from your plan and save it: the plan shows your weights compared with the limits you entered there. It does not check them against your aircraft's flight manual.
Who can see my plan?
Anyone with its link, which is long and random, so only people you share it with. There are no accounts. A plan nobody opens or changes for 30 days is deleted.
Is the flight planner free?
Yes. It is free for any pilot, with nothing to sign up for.
