Pilotbrief®
Get ahead of the weather with interactive aviation weather briefing from a connected cockpit for safer, smoother flights.
Faster and more collaborative aviation weather briefing
Help improve communication between dispatch and the flight deck through common weather situational awareness. With Pilotbrief, pilots and crews can visualize flight weather briefings, airspace notifications, and flight plans in one interactive workspace, all with weather data from the world’s most accurate forecaster.1 Experience faster and more collaborative aircraft weather briefings with Pilotbrief.
Growing challenges for operations teams
In aviation, weather decisions happen fast — whether you’re in the cockpit or managing operations on the ground. Pilots need the ability to anticipate and visualize disruptive weather. Likewise, it’s imperative that operations teams get advanced decision support where weather plays a critical role. Pilotbrief helps both teams stay ahead of complex challenges, including:
- Cost impacts: Nearly 75% of air traffic delays stem from inclement weather, costing airlines billions annually
- Decision complexity: Every decision must balance safety, aircraft functionality, and airline profitability
- Data gaps: Existing weather information is often incomplete and inconsistent, creating unresolved challenges and inefficiencies
- Operational awareness: Successful operations demand a deep understanding of weather’s impact on flights, from real-time turbulence to on-time performance

Frequently asked questions
Pilotbrief works as an electronic flight bag tool, displaying and curating the latest weather data and overlays concerning your flight path. In a connected cockpit environment, users can access the latest information at the touch of a fingertip.
With The Weather Company’s companion flight-following solution, operations teams can help maintain a single source of weather truth between the dispatcher and the pilot. Features include turbulence alerting and prompts, enroute hazards, centralized turbulence layers, smoke and ozone layers, and more.
As a “co-pilot in the cockpit,” Pilotbrief works in both a connected cockpit and non-connected cockpit environments. When connectivity is limited, pilots are able to download information ahead of time, including charts, airport information, briefings, and more.
Features include offline mode and real-time weather updates when connected via onboard Wi-Fi or other datalink systems.
Pilotbrief helps streamline all necessary weather information pilots need to fly their routes every day. By having aviation intelligence powered by the world’s most accurate forecaster2 in their hands, pilots can make decisions in advance of any weather impacts to their routes. Turbulence impacts can be reduced, ultimately decreasing the cost of maintenance in the event of a potential severe turbulence encounter.
Pilotbrief enhances safety for pilots, onboard crew, and all passengers. With the advanced turbulence offerings in the app, through partners like IATA and SkyPath, pilots can receive alerts ahead of time in order to make necessary adjustments to their route.
