iPhone
NEW: Home Screen widgets — live airport weather with a wind compass at a glance. Plus push alerts, NOTAMs, GO / NO-GO briefings, games and quizzes. Weather is free.
PilotDeck puts real aeronautical weather in your pocket — decoded METAR and TAF, hour-by-hour civil forecasts, live NOTAMs, and a full route briefing for any ICAO airport in the world. Built by a pilot, for pilots, in a clean flight-deck (FMS) style.
WEATHER — FREE, FOREVER
• Live METAR and TAF, decoded into plain language
• Hour-by-hour forecast: temperature, wind, gusts, precipitation, pressure
• 7-day outlook with wind, UV and precipitation charts
• Add unlimited airports to your watchlist
• Runway wind component and crosswind advisories
• Everything cached for offline reading in the cockpit
SMART PUSH ALERTS — THE FEATURE PILOTDECK WAS BUILT ON
Follow any airport and PilotDeck watches it for you. The moment a new METAR or TAF is issued — a wind shift, a drop to IFR, a fresh forecast — an instant push reaches you, even with the app closed — the weather that matters finds you.
ROUTE BRIEFING — YOUR WHOLE FLIGHT ON ONE SCREEN
Stop gathering the picture from five different places. One tap builds a complete departure–destination–alternate brief:
• Hazards and advisories flagged first (density altitude, hot day, low visibility)
• Live NOTAMs, sorted so the critical ones are on top
• Distances, times and decoded weather for every field
• A TAF timeline that shows the trend — VFR now, IFR in two hours
• A clear plain-English verdict: GOOD TO GO / CAUTION / NOT RECOMMENDED
See every country you overfly, and if you need to avoid an airspace, re-route around it in a few taps — with the exact extra distance and time shown instantly. Watch the leg on an interactive 3D globe.
LIVE NOTAMs
Active NOTAMs for departure, destination and alternates, filtered by type, with the critical ones surfaced first.
DAILY CHECK — A PRE-FLIGHT FOR YOUR BRAIN
Every pilot checks the weather. PilotDeck also checks you. A two-minute cognitive pre-flight measures reaction, memory and decision-making, then gives you a FIT index for today — so you know your form before you fly. Includes an IMSAFE self-check and a 30-day history to spot your trend.
TRAINING AND TOOLS
• Scan & Catch — METAR scanning speed drill
• Crosswind Crunch — crosswind component practice with a scientific debrief
• Needle Chase — ILS/LOC instrument tracking under changing weather
• Aviation knowledge quizzes with detailed explanations
• Flight-planning tools: wind/drift, top-of-descent, distance and more
REFERENCE IN 6 LANGUAGES
In-app reference is provided in all six ICAO languages — English, Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish.
