Go, Caution, No-Go
One call for the spot you are about to launch from, using the limits of the profile you are flying.
iPhone flight-conditions forecast
Know before you fly.
HoverDeck turns the sky over your launch spot into a Go, Caution, or No-Go — wind at altitude, gusts, Kp, and the airspace picture — before the props spin.

What you get
Everything that changes the call.
Built for small UAS, not a generic weather app with a drone sticker on it.
Wind at altitude
Surface wind is the wrong number. See the flow at the height you actually intend to fly.
Gusts, on their own
A calm average can hide the spike. Gusts are broken out so they can change the call by themselves.
Kp and space weather
Geomagnetic activity sits beside the wind, for the days a restless Kp is the thing that matters.
Airspace and TFRs
FAA airspace context and temporary flight restrictions for the pin, before you pack the car.
Hourly and daily
The next hours when you are deciding whether to drive out, and the days ahead when a job is on the calendar.
Job modes
Real Estate, FPV, and other work profiles do not share one yardstick. The verdict follows the job.
Watch, widget, Lock Screen
Widgets, Live Activities, and Apple Watch carry the call with you while you walk the site.
The call
How the verdict works.
HoverDeck weighs the conditions that actually change a small-UAS flight, then says which side of your profile they landed on.
Set the flight
A place, an altitude, and a job mode when the work is not a generic hop.
Read the sky
Weather from Open-Meteo, space weather from NOAA, airspace and temporary flight restrictions from FAA sources.
Make the call
That picture becomes Go, Caution, or No-Go. You still decide whether to fly.
Go
The factors HoverDeck checks sit inside the profile you are using.
Caution
Something is close to a limit, or a nearby restriction deserves a look before you launch.
No-Go
A limit in your profile is exceeded, or a restriction makes this a poor time to fly.
Pricing
Free to check. Pro to plan the day.
The verdict stays on the free tier. Pro is the rest of the planning day: altitude, the longer forecast, a job profile, and the lock screen, widgets, and watch.
