flightBuddy turns raw aeronautical data — METARs, NOTAMs, charts, fuel math — into a briefing a pilot who's still building hours can actually read, without losing the numbers underneath.
Live METARs and TAFs, checked against the personal minimums a pilot actually sets for themselves — not a generic ceiling. flightBuddy shows the verdict and the reason, and lets the pilot make the call.
Every observation ships with its raw form intact, right next to the plain-English read — so the shorthand becomes second nature instead of staying a black box.
Not duration times burn rate. Every phase of the flight — start, taxi, climb, cruise, reserve — broken out on its own line, so the total means something.
NOTAMs sort by what they actually mean for the flight, not the order the teleprinter spat them out in.
GPS-based phase detection follows the flight automatically — no buttons to remember mid-pattern.
Sectional and IFR charts, offline-capable, with 19 layers you can show or hide on your own terms. On the ground, georeferenced taxi diagrams highlight your actual route to the runway — or back to the ramp.
A live overlay of nearby aircraft, sourced from crowd-fed ADS-B data.
Built for pilots who are still learning.
