@FlightChops represents the "every man" private pilot who's been lucky to have A LOT of opportunities to fly many different things across a wide spectrum of the aviation world.
Steve Thorne has flown for more than 20 years, and he'll tell you the hardest part was never the flying. As he puts it, the window from two days to two weeks out has always been "very nebulous and difficult to plan a cross-country flight." When it comes to navigating prog charts and various forecasting models before the TAF window becomes available, it's really hard to visualize the big picture for a specific trip.
That's the gap PlaneWX closes, and it's one of the bigger leaps general aviation has seen in a while. PlaneWX is a decision support system that scores your trip up to two weeks out against your aircraft and your personal minimums, then keeps watching like a standby briefer. It emails you the moment conditions shift, sends a daily weather update for your home airport, and connects you to a mentor network when you want a second opinion. And that's just the start!
Plan your next adventure with @PlaneWX. See you all in Oshkosh!
