Pre-flight compliance for drone & aeroplane pilots
Clear the airspace before wheels roll.
Whether you fly drones or crewed aircraft, SkyArpa runs an instant Go / No-Go check for every flight — wind, gusts, precipitation, visibility, daylight, geomagnetic (GPS) activity, air quality and live nearby traffic — on an interactive tactical map, with an auditable record your clients and regulators can trust.
Fused from authoritative live feeds — no setup required
Stop wasted trips
No more driving to a site only to find it's too windy to fly. Check from your phone the night before.
Prove compliance
Every check is logged with the exact conditions and decision — your defensible record if anything is questioned.
Beyond just weather
Geomagnetic storms (GPS flyaway & nav risk), smoke & haze, and live nearby aircraft — signals most pilots never check.
Three steps to a clear sky
Add your sites & aircraft
Save the locations you fly and each drone or aeroplane's wind limit.
Drop a pin, run a check
Pick a site or click the tactical map. SkyArpa pulls live weather, airspace and traffic data.
Get a decision + audit log
GO, CAUTION or NO-GO with the reasons — saved forever as an immutable record.
Everything in SkyArpa
One pre-flight console for drone and aeroplane pilots — every signal that affects a safe, legal flight, in one place.
Instant Go / No-Go decision
A clear GO, CAUTION or NO-GO verdict with the exact reasons behind it — no guesswork.
Live weather & wind
Wind speed, gusts, precipitation and visibility from Open-Meteo, scored against your aircraft's limits.
Aviation METAR & flight category
Nearest-airport METAR and VFR/MVFR/IFR flight category from NOAA Aviation Weather.
Airspace & airport proximity
Warns when you're near controlled airspace or a towered field, plotted on the tactical map.
Daylight & twilight window
Sunrise, sunset, civil twilight buffers and daylight-remaining so you never get caught out after dark.
Geomagnetic (GPS) activity
Planetary Kp index from NOAA SWPC — flags space-weather that risks GPS flyaway and compass errors.
Air quality, smoke & haze
PM2.5 / PM10 / US AQI to catch wildfire smoke and haze that quietly cut your visual line of sight.
Live nearby air traffic
Real-time ADS-B aircraft positions from the OpenSky Network around your operating area.
NOTAM & TFR awareness
Surfaces relevant notices and temporary flight restrictions where the data feed is enabled.
Interactive tactical map
Drop a pin anywhere, see wind direction, airspace rings, airports and traffic at a glance.
Fleet & per-aircraft limits
Set wind, gust, visibility and precipitation thresholds for every drone or aeroplane you fly.
Multi-site batch checks
Assess a whole day of locations at once — ideal for planning multi-site operations.
Watchlist & re-checks
Track upcoming flights and re-run them as conditions evolve; we highlight when a decision flips.
Immutable audit log
Every check is saved with the conditions and verdict — your defensible compliance record.
CSV & PDF export
Export checks to CSV or a printable report to share with clients and regulators.
Team accounts & roles
Invite your crew, manage admin and member access, all scoped to your organization.
The risks you fly with — and without SkyArpa
Most incidents and grounded jobs come from conditions you couldn't see coming. SkyArpa makes them visible before you launch.
Flying today, without SkyArpa
- ✕Sudden gusts or crosswinds exceed your aircraft's limit mid-flight
- ✕Wasted trips to sites that turn out unflyable on arrival
- ✕Flying into fading daylight and losing visual line of sight
- ✕GPS flyaway and compass drift from unnoticed geomagnetic storms
- ✕Reduced visibility from wildfire smoke and haze you didn't check
- ✕Near-misses with crewed aircraft you couldn't see in advance
- ✕Straying near controlled airspace, airports or active TFRs
- ✕No defensible record if a client, insurer or regulator asks
