Chase better light. Flyby now maps the sun's path over your launch spot and tells you which way to face for the shot.
Know before you launch. Flyby turns wind at height, gusts, rain, visibility, and daylight into one Fly Score for your drone, so you know whether it’s a good time and place to fly.
Built for drone pilots, not generic weather browsing. Open Flyby for the quick answer at your location or a saved launch spot, then go deeper when you need to.
KNOW THE CONDITIONS
• Fly Score: wind, gusts, rain, clouds, visibility, daylight, and Kp index in one number, explained factor by factor
• Wind at height: wind at 33, 262, and 394 ft, not just on the ground, checked against your drone’s limit
• Hourly charts for score, wind, rain, clouds, and visibility
• Pilot limits: start Careful, Standard, or Flexible, then tune every threshold
PLAN THE FLIGHT
• Flight windows: Flyby picks out the best stretch of each day
• Flight plans with a go/no-go verdict from the forecast for your window
• Forecast alerts when a plan’s conditions really change
• A preflight checklist on every plan
• Sunrise, sunset, golden hour, blue hour, and daylight wherever you fly
• Usable flight time, with battery reserve and accessory load
CHECK THE AIRSPACE
• FAA ceilings and LAANC availability on the map, free for everyone
• Save launch spots and compare their conditions side by side
KEEP EVERY FLIGHT
• A logbook with routes, conditions, totals, and notes
• Import GPX tracks to fill in launch point, distance, altitude, and duration
• Flight cards: share a postcard of a flight with your best shot
• Home Screen widgets for Fly Score, the sun arc, and your Flyby scene
YOUR DRONE, YOUR WAY
• Presets for popular drones, or build your own aircraft profile
• Free Flight: fly around a 3D town, and race Gate Run with Game Center achievements
FLYBY PASS
Flyby is free to use. Flyby Pass, monthly, yearly, or lifetime, adds:
• Flyby Guides: parks, waterfronts, and viewpoints near your launch
• Scan or import your own drone in 3D
• Hourly detail and charts beyond today
• Live Activities for planned flights on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
• Unlimited launch spots, flight plans, aircraft, and collections, plus more map styles
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Flyby follows the O13 Standard. Your places, plans, and flights are stored on your iPhone. No ads, no ad tracking, and only minimal anonymous analytics.
IMPORTANT
Flyby is for planning and weather context, not authorization. Always verify local rules, temporary flight restrictions, LAANC requirements, manufacturer guidance, aircraft condition, people, wildlife, and launch access before flying.

Oh...hi Mark. Don't mind us; just landing for a quick update. If you're curious...
ADDED
• Light Direction: the Sun tab now maps where the sun rises and sets over your spot, and which way to face for the best light. Works offline, too.
• Ideas in My Places: suggestions for where to fly next, picked from your own places when the forecast looks good. Tap one to open it.
• iPhone Duo Support: unfold it, and every tab, the map, and Settings make use of the bigger screen.
• Field View: stand your Duo half-open and Flyby shows your Fly Score, wind, and the next sunrise or sunset in big type. The screen stays awake while it’s up.
IMPROVED
• Simpler Locales: the options menu is gone. Edit now lives in the header, and you can save where you are right from your location’s card.
• Fresh Look: the screens for adding an aircraft, planning a flight, and logging a flight now match the rest of Flyby. When you add an aircraft, you can pick any of Flyby’s 3D models for it.
• Side-by-Side Details: on iPhone Duo, details open next to what you’re looking at instead of covering it.
• Now on Today: the hour you’re in is labeled “Now,” so it’s easy to spot.
• Smoother Sun: tapping Now on the Sun tab glides the sun back instead of jumping.
FIXED
• Saving your current location in Locales sometimes saved a different place.
• Plan no longer says a day is over your limits when its only good hours are after dark.
• Your location’s coordinates no longer show up twice in its details.
That's all for now! We'll fly back around soon. Happy flying!
