A look inside
About Fly Forecast
Fly Forecast shows you the sky the way pilots see it — live turbulence and icing reports, official FAA aeronautical charts, aviation hazard areas, and the weather charts professionals use, all in one beautifully simple app.
Whether you're a nervous flyer wondering how bumpy tonight's flight will be, a frequent traveler picking the smoothest departure, or a pilot building weather awareness before a briefing, Fly Forecast puts real aviation weather in your pocket.
Live turbulence map
- Real pilot reports (PIREPs) from the last few hours, drawn with standard aviation symbols and color-coded by severity — from smooth to extreme
- Every report shows its altitude at a glance and opens into full details: aircraft type, altitude, turbulence intensity and frequency, icing, sky conditions, temperature and wind
- FAA aeronautical charts under it all: VFR Sectional, IFR Low and IFR High enroute charts with full US coverage at every zoom level
- Graphical AIRMET hazard areas: turbulence, icing, IFR conditions, mountain obscuration, surface winds, wind shear and freezing level
- Domestic and international SIGMETs, Center Weather Advisories, TFRs (temporary flight restrictions), the graphical convective forecast (TCF) and Alaska AIRMETs
- Surface analysis fronts and High/Low pressure centers
- Live NWS radar and GOES satellite imagery overlays
- Switch regions to see AIREPs — automated aircraft reports — over Europe, Asia & the Pacific and the North Atlantic
- Filter by severity, report age, altitude band and report type
- Optional GPS overlay with your speed, altitude and coordinates
- Turbulence Meter: estimate the bumps you're actually feeling from your device's motion sensors, with a live trace and a record of the roughest moments of your flight
- Track any flight by number: see its live position and planned route drawn right over the turbulence map — know before it does whether it's headed into the bumps
- Share a snapshot of your map view with one tap
Winds aloft & airports
- Winds and temperatures aloft (FD forecasts) shown as wind barbs by region and flight level, from 3,000 ft to the flight levels
- Search 7,600+ airports by code, name or city
- Decoded current conditions (METAR) with VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR flight category
- Terminal forecasts (TAF), runway details, frequencies and nearby airports
- NOTAMs, live FAA delay and ground-stop status, and the local NWS forecast discussion for US airports
Weather charts
- G-AIRMET graphics, Graphical Forecasts for Aviation (surface and clouds), SIGMET charts, WPC surface analysis and precipitation, low-level significant weather, and SPC convective and fire-weather outlooks with current watches
- Active tropical storms: live National Hurricane Center positions and advisories
- National forecast charts for every element — temperature, feels-like, dew point, humidity, sky cover, wind, gusts, chance of precipitation, snow and ice
- GOES-East and West satellite: GeoColor, visible, infrared, water vapor, air mass and lightning
- International high-level significant weather charts for the Americas, Atlantic, Japan & Asia, Australia and polar routes
- Pinch to zoom, swipe between forecast hours, and share, copy or save any image
