Get value from your drone the day it arrives.
How it works
Know if it's actually safe to fly.
We pull live data from two of the world's most trusted weather providers and cross validate every wind reading before we show it. Our flying conditions assessment then takes wind speed at altitude, gust strength, rain timing and temperature, cross checks them against the KP index, and turns it all into a single expert verdict so you know whether today is a flying day before you even pack the kit. You also get a live precipitation radar and a wind direction indicator built right in, something most weather apps simply don't give you. Other apps flash red or green based on the thresholds you set yourself. We're built to help you fly as often as possible, as safely as possible.
- •Two independent weather sources, cross validated
- •Wind speeds at 30, 60, 90 and 120 metres
- •Live rain radar and wind direction maps so you see the weather coming
