Preflight is an aviation app which provides tools for pilots to prepare flights
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.
The main features and functionality:
AIRPORTS

DISTANCE
Obtain the distance between two airports. By entering the speed it will also provide the flight time and bearing information.
MAX DAILY FDP

FLIGHT TIME
Enables you to quickly calculate the flight time. Adding additional legs to calculate a grand total is also possible. Calculating flight time was never this easy!
WIND COMPONENTS
Compute wind components in seconds. The result gives you the wind angle, crosswind and head/tail wind components.
DELAY CODES
We use them on a daily basis but now it’s finally easy to look them up. Internal, passenger/baggage, cargo, handling, technical, damage/failure, operation, weather, air traffic control & miscellaneous… it’s all in there.
SNOWTAM DECODER
Decode any SNOWTAM and see the result instantly.
ABBREVIATIONS
Aviation comes with an ever increasing amount of acronyms and abbreviations. Forgot one? We included over one thousand abbreviations in our database, just look them up.
