17 METEO – Weather for Drones
Good to fly?
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Fly or wait? AI forecasts and a go/no-go light tuned to your drone: winds aloft, launch windows, GNSS monitor. Naval & ground modes. Worldwide, offline cache, private.
Can I fly right now?
17 METEO answers in a second: green — fly, yellow — caution, red — better wait. And it always tells you why.
A drone is hundreds of hours of work and serious money. One weather mistake takes it away in a minute. Set your aircraft's limits once, or pick one of 50+ ready-made profiles (DJI Mavic, Mini, Air, Matrice, Autel EVO and professional platforms), and every forecast is checked against YOUR drone — no more stitching the picture together from five tabs of raw numbers.
AI FORECASTS THAT ACTUALLY WORK
Real next-generation neural weather models deliver a go/no-go verdict with a confidence level, cross-checked against a classical model. The model-agreement card shows whether ECMWF, GFS and ICON converge — how much today's forecast can be trusted.
WHAT YOU GET
• Go/no-go traffic light — tuned to your drone, not the "average weather"
• Nearest green launch window — when it opens and how long it lasts
• Winds and gusts by altitude (10–180 m); drag the mission altitude and every card recalculates
• Hourly forecast for 24 h and a 7-day outlook
• GNSS monitor with spoofing alerts and a visible-satellite forecast
• Route analysis: weather where your aircraft will BE, accounting for flight time
• Pilot calculators: Point of No Return (PNR), wind triangle, radio line-of-sight (Fresnel zone, 360° coverage, MGRS)
• Upper air: winds and temps to FL450, Skew-T diagram, CAPE, freezing level
• Geomagnetic activity (Kp), lightning risk, density altitude, icing risk
• Astronomy: twilight, moon phase, thermal crossover
• Battery state before launch with cold-weather derating
• Bluetooth anemometer support — ground-truth wind
• Air-raid alert (selected regions)
BEYOND THE AIR
Naval mode: wave height, sea state and departure windows for surface platforms. Ground mode: soil trafficability, night-frost windows, fords and control-link range.
APPLE WATCH
Readiness on your wrist: colored verdict, temperature and the limiting factor — without reaching for the phone.
WORKS EVERYWHERE
Worldwide coverage: the same forecast at any point on the planet. Offline maps and forecast cache keep working with no connectivity. Built in Ukraine — proven by pilots where weather decides everything.
PRIVACY (OPSEC)
Everything is computed on-device. The app collects and transmits nothing — there is simply nothing to leak. Private by default.
Built for people who fly for a living: aerial photo and video, FPV, inspections, search and rescue, agriculture.
The dashboard is fully customizable — keep only the cards you need. Localized in English and Ukrainian.
17 METEO — fewer guesses, more confidence before takeoff.
