Fly or not: wind & airspace
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Know before you fly: a clear Good to Fly verdict for your drone, UK airspace restrictions and your best flying window, all in one app. Now ready for iPhone Duo.
Know before you fly.
DroneChecker gives UK drone pilots a live fly/no-fly rating calibrated to your exact drone model — combining wind speed and gusts, visibility, precipitation, fog and KP geomagnetic activity into one clear answer before you leave the house.
FREE
• Live fly rating — green, amber or red, calibrated to your drone's specific wind tolerance
• Wind speed, direction and gusts with a colour-coded compass
• KP geomagnetic index from NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center — high activity can cause GPS inaccuracy and compass drift, factored automatically into your rating
• Restrictions map — schools, railways, military airfields, helicopter routes, airfields, gliding sites, nature reserves and ground hazards
• Operator ID and Flyer ID renewal reminders — never get caught flying on an expired CAA registration
PLUS & PRO
• 15-minute nowcast — minute-by-minute fly rating and rain timing for the next 2 hours
• Extended wind analysis — interactive wind map and hourly forecast
• 7-day best day planner — see the optimal flying window across the week at a glance
• Fly window alerts — get notified the moment conditions turn flyable at up to 3 saved locations
• Flight logger — log every flight with date, location, drone, duration, conditions and notes; export to Excel or Google Sheets
• Flying Spots — discover good places to fly shared by other pilots, with photos, access notes and reviews
• Live UK NOTAMs and Planned Flights
Built with UK drone pilots in mind, but useful anywhere.
