Leave the Pattern

Travel

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Where should you fly today? Weather- and crosswind-smart destination ideas from your home field—with food, attractions, courtesy cars, NOTAMs, a 10-day outlook, and more. It's the weekend and you have a plane. Where should you fly today? Leave the Pattern answers the eternal $100-hamburger question. Set your home field—any US public-use airport, even a private strip—and get destination ideas that are actually flyable: scored by forecast winds, crosswind on each runway, clouds, and precipitation, and filtered by what you want to do when you get there. WHAT IT DOES • Suggests destinations from every US public-use airport within your range • Scores each day's flyability: winds, gusts, crosswind vs. the favored runway, clouds and precip • Knows what's on the field and nearby: restaurants on the airport, courtesy cars, breweries, museums, beaches, camping, golf, bikeable towns • Live METARs, radar, clouds and winds-aloft overlays, and the FAA VFR sectional right on the map • NOTAM and TFR aware—closed airports and runways drop out of suggestions automatically • 10-day outlook for any airport the next good day at a glance • A mini-brief for each suggestion: favored runways, pattern entry, time there and back, sunset margin • Near me: one tap sets your home field to the nearest airport • Hands off to ForeFlight for real flight planning THE FINE PRINT For inspiration only, not navigation. Always get an official briefing before you fly. No data collected. Free. Data: FAA airport, runway and sectional data · Open-Meteo forecasts · OpenStreetMap points of interest · RainViewer radar.
