In brief · compiled from flightbrief.io

What is it?
FlightBrief is a pre-flight briefing tool that analyzes an airline OFP or a typed VFR route and shows an advisory Go, Caution, or No-Go result.
Who is it for?
It is for airline and commercial crews, as well as private and general aviation pilots. Fleet Commanders can manage certified aircraft limits for their fleet.
How does it work?
Pilots photograph an OFP or enter a VFR route and aircraft details. FlightBrief checks live METAR, TAF, and NOTAM data against aircraft limits or personal minima, with weather data checked around the estimated arrival time.
What does it cost?
There is a free trial with two briefings. Pilot costs $9.99 per month or $89 per year, and Pilot Pro costs $16.99 per month or $159 per year; airline plans start at $9 per pilot per month.

Why I built this

I'm a pilot, and the pre-flight look always meant juggling the OFP, METARs, TAFs and pages of NOTAMs on a phone in the crew room, trying to spot the one thing that actually matters. I wanted a tool that reads it all for me and tells me plainly: go, caution or no-go, and why. The one rule I built it around: never show green when it isn't. If data is missing, it says so.

FlightBrief turns the pre-flight look into one clear screen. Airline pilots photograph their OFP (ForeFlight, Jeppesen, Lido layouts); private pilots type a VFR route. FlightBrief pulls live METAR, TAF and NOTAMs windowed to your ETA, checks them against your aircraft's limits or your own personal minima, and gives an advisory Go / Caution / No-Go with the reasons spelled out.

It's built to never give a false green: missing data reads amber, NOTAMs are triaged by ICAO Q-code so only the ones that matter flag, and equipment outages aren't mistaken for runway closures. Fleets can share certified limits, and a passenger card explains today's flight without exposing pilot-side data.

Made by a working pilot. Native iPhone app on the App Store, plus a web version; Android is in beta testing. Free to start.
