PilotDeck

PilotDeck puts real aeronautical weather in your pocket — decoded METAR and TAF, live NOTAMs, SIGMET on the map, aviation news 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
• Weather at your exact position: a minute-by-minute rain nowcast and a 12-hour trend
• Unlimited airports on your watchlist, everything cached for offline reading

SMART PUSH ALERTS — THE FEATURE PILOTDECK WAS BUILT ON
Follow an airport and PilotDeck watches it for you. The moment a new METAR or TAF is issued — a wind shift, a drop to IFR — a push reaches you, even with the app closed.

ROUTE BRIEFING — YOUR WHOLE FLIGHT ON ONE SCREEN
One tap builds a departure–destination–alternate brief, judged at your ETD and ETA:
• A plain-English verdict: GOOD TO GO / CAUTION / NOT RECOMMENDED
• NOTAMs sorted honestly: red only for what can stop you — runway or approach closed, minima raised, RVR out
• SIGMET along your track, drawn on the map and sorted against your cruising level
• Wind on the real runway layout: best threshold, crosswind and tailwind for every runway end, Vapp from your VREF
• TAF timeline with LVTO, LVP and below-minima tags; take-off alternate when you may depart but could not land back
• Countries overflown with entry times; re-route around any airspace in a few taps
• The whole briefing as a three-page PDF to share or keep with the flight's documents
Flight tracks are recorded in the background and can be merged and shared.

AVIATION NEWS
Twelve trusted sources in one feed, categorised, with alerts for incidents and regulation changes. Bookmark to read offline.

HOME SCREEN WIDGETS
Live airport weather with a colour-coded wind compass, your Daily Check streak and the latest news.

DAILY CHECK — A PRE-FLIGHT FOR YOUR BRAIN
A two-minute cognitive pre-flight measures reaction, memory and decision-making and gives you a FIT index for today, with an IMSAFE self-check and a 30-day trend.

REFERENCE IN SIX ICAO LANGUAGES
Every screen has a REF key: an illustrated explanation in English, Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish.

TRAINING AND TOOLS
• Holding Entry, Scan & Catch, Crosswind Crunch, Needle Chase — games that train real skills, with a scientific debrief
• Aviation quizzes with detailed explanations
• Flight-planning tools: wind and drift, top of descent, crosswind, fuel, density altitude and more

PRICING — HOW IT WORKS
PilotDeck is built for pilots, by pilots. Everything a pilot needs for a flight — weather, NOTAM, SIGMET, briefing and PDF, routes, alternates, tracks, news — is free and stays free. No operational feature is locked behind a paywall.
What is paid is the training side: PilotDeck PRO unlocks unlimited games, the full quiz banks and the Daily Check history. That is what keeps the team going — the servers, and the data that is only sold, not given away. A number of professional feeds would make the app noticeably better: full ADS-B traffic for the flight-radar layer (today it runs on free feeds, so aircraft and flight details are incomplete), richer NOTAM and airport data, wider weather coverage and faster updates. Each is a paid subscription on our side, and every PRO plan brings them closer.

PilotDeck PRO: Monthly €4.99 · Annual €39.99 (best value). Both start with a 7-day free trial.
Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the current period ends; your account is charged within 24 hours prior to the end of that period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited on purchase.
