Fly Forecast

See turbulence before you feel it. Fly Forecast puts the weather pilots fly by on one live map — real pilot reports of turbulence and icing, hazard areas, radar, satellite and official FAA charts — and briefs your flight: set a route and an altitude, and it tells you what the line flies through.

For a pilot planning a leg, a frequent flyer picking the smoothest departure, or a nervous passenger wondering how tonight's flight will feel, Fly Forecast answers in plain words.

BRIEF YOUR FLIGHT
• Set a departure, destination, cruise altitude and time, and the route draws on the map
• The briefing lists what lies along it: pilot reports near your altitude, the hazard areas the line crosses and whether they reach cruise, the freezing level, and the winds aloft as a headwind or tailwind
• Takeoff and landing in plain words: gusts, crosswind, wind shear and storms
• Compare Days: your route's turbulence and jet-stream forecast, eight days ahead
• Check both ends against your personal minimums
• Start a plan from a flight number, save plans by name, share any as a pilot's or passenger's PDF with map, terrain and NOTAMs, kept in Files

LIVE TURBULENCE MAP
• Pilot reports (PIREPs) in standard symbols, colored by severity, each with its altitude; tap one for the full report in plain words, aircraft type included
• Presets for Turbulence, Icing, VFR Local, IFR Cruise and Convective
• An altitude band and a time bar: hazards at your level, hours ahead or two days back
• G-AIRMETs, SIGMETs, Center Weather Advisories, TFRs, the convective forecast, storm outlooks and watches, volcanic ash and fronts
• A worldwide turbulence forecast, the jet stream, forecast gusts, station winds and the Atlantic tracks
• Radar with echo tops and a loop, Canada's radar, satellite, and hurricanes with NHC cones and tracks
• FAA VFR Sectional, IFR Low and IFR High charts underneath
• Press and hold for a point briefing
• Opens on saved data if you lose signal

FOR PASSENGERS
• Track a flight by number, today or a week ahead, with a reminder that morning, and see what lies along its route
• Save the outlook before you board and read it in airplane mode
• The Turbulence Meter measures the bumps you feel and keeps every flight, by the minute and on the map, to share or export
• The Turbulence Guide explains what each level feels like and the sounds of a flight, with a breathing exercise

A PREFLIGHT PAGE FOR EVERY AIRPORT
• Almost 11,000 airports, with favorites, a home airport and the fields near you
• Decoded METAR and TAF with flight categories, a six-hour trend and density altitude
• Headwind and crosswind for every runway
• Sunrise, sunset and twilight
• NOTAMs, airport diagrams, FAA delays, the forecast discussion, and AWOS and ASOS with tap-to-call

WINDS ALOFT & CHARTS
• Winds and temperatures aloft for the US, Alaska, Hawaii and the Pacific, with each station's freezing level, or as barbs on the map
• 1,900 charts: Graphical Forecasts for Aviation, the jet stream, turbulence (GTG) and icing (CIP/FIP) guidance, significant weather, GOES satellite and space weather

MADE FOR THE COCKPIT
• iCloud keeps your plans, meter sessions, favorites and settings the same on all your devices
• Zulu time and a navy dark mode
• VoiceOver for every marker on the map, and text that grows with your settings
• Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight airport search, and side panels on iPad
