Built for Everyday Cockpit Workflows Home & Lock Screen Widgets: Check live wind vectors, flight categories (VFR/MVFR/IFR), cloud ceilings, and barometric pressure at a glance without opening the app. Hands-Free Siri Integration: Simply say, "Hey Siri, give me the Pilot Briefing," to have current weather, winds, and altimeter settings read aloud while you pre-flight. Automated Daily Alerts: Schedule recurring morning briefing notifications with rich summaries delivered straight to your lock screen before you head out.
