SUPPLEMENTAL PREFLIGHT PLANNING

Your preflight
decision engine.

Pathfinder analyzes real-time weather, airspace hazards, and your aircraft performance to deliver a clear GO or NO-GO recommendation to support your preflight review — not replace pilot judgment or independent verification.

Capabilities

Everything you need for
a confident preflight.

Go/No-Go Engine

Multi-factor decision analysis considering weather, personal minimums, aircraft capabilities, and airspace conditions. Clear, reasoned recommendations you can trust.

Route Planning

Intelligent route recommendations that avoid active hazards — AIRMETs, SIGMETs, TFRs. Visualize your route on an interactive map with real-time overlays.

Altitude Advisor

Hemispherical rule compliance, winds aloft optimization, and safety scoring for every altitude option. Pick the altitude with the best tailwind and clearest skies.

Live Weather

Real-time METAR, TAF, winds aloft from NOAA. Automatic hazard detection with AIRMET and SIGMET parsing. Always know what's between you and your destination.

Personal Minimums

Set your own weather minimums — ceiling, visibility, crosswind, turbulence. The decision engine respects your limits, not just regulatory ones.

Preflight Reassessment

Conditions change. Before departure, reassess your plan with updated weather data and independently verify the result against official sources.

Workflow

Three steps to a safer flight.

01

Enter your flight

Select departure, destination, aircraft, and departure time. Pathfinder pulls your aircraft profile and personal minimums automatically.

02

Get your decision

The engine fetches live weather, analyzes hazards, checks your minimums, and delivers a GO or NO-GO with a detailed factor breakdown.

03

Plan your route

If it's a GO, select your route and altitude. The app avoids active hazards, optimizes for wind, and ensures hemispherical rule compliance.

Safety First

Built for the decisions
that matter most.

Pathfinder is a decision support tool — not a replacement for pilot judgment. Every recommendation includes the reasoning behind it, so you always understand the why, not just the answer.

  • Validated against FAA weather data sources (NOAA Aviation Weather Center)
  • Personal minimums respected — your limits, your safety margins
  • Full audit trail of every decision for post-flight review
  • Offline-capable — critical data cached for loss-of-signal scenarios

Controlled Beta availability

Beta invitations are currently unavailable.

Controlled Beta is limited to approved testers using Pathfinder for supplemental preflight planning on supported US general-aviation flights. Independently verify every decision against official weather, NOTAM, chart, and AFM/POH sources. Never use Pathfinder as the sole basis for flight.

In-flight replanning and Operational Takeoff-Roll Guidance are not available in Controlled Beta.

iOS 17+ required. Beta support is limited to registered device configurations.
