Description
Trusted by GA pilots across the US. Real aviation weather, your personal minimums, and a clear go/no-go recommendation in under 10 seconds. No ads.
Flyable is a preflight decision aid for general aviation pilots. In under 10 seconds, you get METARs, TAFs, PIREPs, NOTAMs, and SIGMETs for your route — filtered against your personal minimums and aircraft performance — with a clear GO, MARGINAL, or NO-GO recommendation.
Select your aircraft. Enter your departure, destination, waypoints, and alternate. Tap Evaluate. Flyable pulls real-time data from official FAA sources and checks every factor against the limits you've set: ceiling, visibility, crosswind, gusts, tailwind, turbulence, icing, thunderstorms, density altitude, runway length, and more.
No subscription. No account. No ads. Just a straightforward weather briefing tool built by a pilot, for pilots.
WEATHER DATA
Live METARs with flight category (VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR) — stale observations flagged with their age
Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAFs) evaluated for your actual flight window
Pilot Reports (PIREPs) within 100 nm, filtered to GA altitudes
AIRMETs and SIGMETs filtered to your route corridor and GA altitudes
Active NOTAMs for every airport on your route
Density altitude with performance impact estimates
Clear-sky confirmation — positive green indicators when no ceiling exists
PERSONAL MINIMUMS
Set separate VFR and IFR minimums for ceiling, visibility, crosswind, max surface wind, gust spread, temp/dewpoint spread, turbulence tolerance, and more. Gusts count against your limits. Flyable tells you exactly which factors are within limits and which aren't.
AIRCRAFT LIBRARY
60 GA aircraft with full POH data, including Cessna 172, Cessna 182, Piper Archer, Cirrus SR22, SR22T, Bonanza A36, Diamond DA40, DA42, Piper Seminole, Baron 58, Pilatus PC-12, TBM 960, King Air 250, Citation CJ3+, Vision Jet, and more — takeoff roll, landing distance, climb rate, crosswind limits, service ceiling, and gross weight. Adding an aircraft? Search by make and model to auto-fill performance data.
SMART FEATURES
Best runway recommendation from current winds, using surveyed true runway headings for accurate crosswind math
Headwind, crosswind, and tailwind components — including gusts
Parallel runways (08L/08R) listed separately with correct lengths
Route corridor advisory filtering by geographic proximity, not just a fixed radius
Night flight detection with sunrise/sunset awareness
Runway length vs. aircraft performance at actual density altitude
IFR alternate requirement and FAA fuel reserve checks
Shareable weather briefing text for your records
Flight history log — tap any past flight to rerun the evaluation
Smart airport code entry — CHD auto-resolves to KCHD
40,000+ airports worldwide with runway data from OurAirports
SAFETY
Clear notices when NOTAM, TAF, or advisory data can't be retrieved — never a silent gap
First-launch safety disclaimer — must acknowledge before use
Density altitude is advisory-only — runway and performance factors handle hard limits
Route hazards auto-expand on any No-Go — nothing hidden
Content-aware SIGMET evaluation — convective SIGMETs are No-Go; turbulence and icing checked against your minimums
150+ automated unit tests covering the decision engine, corridor filtering, aircraft performance, and weather parsing
DATA SOURCES
All weather data comes directly from the FAA's Aviation Weather Center (aviationweather.gov) — the same source used by major EFBs. Runway data from OurAirports covers 40,000+ airports worldwide. No third-party APIs, no middlemen.
NOTICE
Flyable is a supplemental decision aid only. It does not replace a standard weather briefing from 1800wxbrief.com or other FAA-approved sources. Weather conditions change rapidly. Always verify data against official sources and exercise your own judgment as pilot in command. The developers assume no liability for flight decisions made using this app.
