Pre-flight risk assessment

Go / No-Go decision tool

Tell us about you, your aircraft, and the flight. The tool reads the same factors an experienced pilot weighs — your experience and currency, the specific airplane, and the detailed weather along your route — and explains how risky this flight is, what to watch for, and how others got hurt, grounded in 3,421 NTSB fatal-accident records.

This is an educational, data-driven aid — not a clearance. It cannot see everything about your flight and does not replace an official preflight risk assessment (FAA PAVE/IMSAFE), a real weather briefing, or your authority as pilot in command.
