About this app

Whether you are a student pilot, a private pilot, flying commercially or just an aviation enthusiast, Preflight will save you loads of time and effort while preparing your next flight.

Preflight can be used to look up the METAR & TAF, NOTAMS, VOLMETS, delay codes and abbreviations. Calculating the fuel uplift, flight time, wind components or converting units was made easy and is conveniently added to the app as well. Need to decode a SNOWTAM? No worries, we’ve got you covered. Preflight was built by aviators, for aviators.
