Preflight decision intelligence
A clearer go/no-go starts before the engine does.
FlightReady brings your route, aircraft, pilot profile, current conditions, and relevant accident history into one explainable readiness assessment. You review the factors. The pilot in command makes the decision.
- Weather
- Pilot readiness
- Personal minimums
- Aircraft readiness
- Terrain
- Accident history
Review drivers and mitigations before departure. The pilot in command makes the decision.
Built around aviation weather, operational context, pilot and aircraft inputs, and historical accident records.
The problem
Preflight information is available. Judgment is still fragmented.
Every piece of the picture exists somewhere — a weather app, a NOTAM search, a logbook, a memory. What's missing is the structure that turns them into a decision you can explain.
The data is the easy part
Your EFB and briefing sources present the weather, NOTAMs, and charts well. What none of them structure is how it all combines into a decision.
Synthesis happens in your head
Marginal ceilings, a gusty crosswind, two weeks since your last flight — each fine alone. The interaction between them is weighed silently, under time pressure.
Minimums drift from conditions
Personal minimums are written down once and rarely compared, line by line, against today's actual numbers.
Paper FRATs stop at the form
Static risk-assessment forms structure the right questions — but the pilot scores every line manually, with generic weights, and the form never sees the data.
Accident history goes unread
NTSB records relevant to this exact corridor exist — in a database almost nobody queries preflight.
The rationale evaporates
The final call rests on reasoning that is hard to state, hard to teach, and gone by the time anyone wants to review it.
The system
One assessment. Every factor in context.
From flight context to a decision with a visible rationale — here is how an assessment forms, step by step.
01Step 1 of 7
Flight context
Departure, destination, departure time, cruise altitude, and aircraft. FlightReady resolves the route geometry and the corridor it will evaluate.
02Step 2 of 7
Environmental conditions
METARs, TAFs, SIGMETs, G-AIRMETs, and PIREPs are retrieved on demand from the Aviation Weather Center at analyze time — each stamped with its source and age.
03Step 3 of 7
Pilot and aircraft context
Your certificate, hours, currency, aircraft familiarity, and personal minimums enter the assessment as first-class factors — not an afterthought.
04Step 4 of 7
Historical accident intelligence
NTSB records near your corridor are retrieved by proximity, weighted by distance and recency. Historical investigative data — never described as live.
05Step 5 of 7
Weighted factor analysis
Eleven factors are scored deterministically and combined under published base weights. If a factor is unavailable, its weight redistributes and confidence drops — visibly.
06Step 6 of 7
Explainable briefing
An AI-drafted narrative cites the retrieved records behind it. The language model never sets the score — it explains what the deterministic engine found.
07Step 7 of 7
Pilot decision
You review the factors, question them, and make the call. The assessment gives you a rationale you can state out loud — to yourself, an instructor, or a safety officer.
“Westerly flow of this strength has historically produced mountain wave along this corridor…”
The pilot in command decides.
Accident intelligence
Historical accidents, placed back on the route.
FlightReady surfaces route-relevant accident history so pilots and instructors can examine patterns without manually searching a national database. Each surfaced record links to its NTSB report.
VFR into IMC — mountain pass
A non-instrument-rated pilot continued VFR flight into deteriorating conditions near rising terrain. Lowering ceilings in a confined valley left few escape options. A common thread in corridor records: the decision point came well before the weather did.
Methodology
A score should not be a black box.
Every assessment is produced by a deterministic scoring engine with published factor weights. The AI drafts the narrative and cites its sources — it never sets the number.
- Weather
- Pilot readiness
- Personal minimums
- Aircraft readiness
- Terrain
- Airports
- Accident history
- NOTAMs
- Human factors
- Weight & balance
- Traffic
Instruction
Teach the reasoning, not just the answer.
A student's go/no-go call is only half the lesson. The factor breakdown gives students and instructors the same structure to talk through.
Student
- Runs the assessment before the lesson
- Reviews each weighted factor and its source
- Records the rationale — ready, marginal, or no-go
Instructor
- Sees the same factor breakdown the student saw
- Discusses the judgment, factor by factor
- Builds consistent decision habits across lessons
Flight schools
A shared preflight language across the school.
Standardize the process without taking judgment away from the pilot: structured student assessments, instructor review, and documented rationale — in early access for Part 61 and 141 programs.
Structured assessments
Every student works the same factor framework before every flight.
Instructor review
Assessments are reviewable — the reasoning, not just the result.
Documented rationale
Saved assessments and PDF export create a record the program can learn from.
Program visibility
Org-level views of assessment activity across the fleet (early access).
Where it fits
Keep the tools pilots already trust.
FlightReady does not replace your EFB or official briefing. It adds a structured layer for interpreting how route, pilot, aircraft, conditions, and historical context come together.
- AUTHORITATIVE
Official and operational sources
Aviation Weather Center, Flight Service briefings, FAA aeronautical data, NOTAMs, aircraft documents.
- YOUR EXISTING WORKFLOW
Planning and briefing tools
Your EFB — ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot — and 1800wxbrief. Where you plan, file, and obtain your official briefing.
- ADVISORY
