Built around your flight
A forecast is only the starting point.
Calm weather on the ground does not tell the whole story. FlightSpace helps you check the conditions where your UAV will actually fly.
- At your working altitudeSee how wind and temperature change above the ground.
- Along your routeFind weather limitations between the start and destination.
- Against your own limitsCompare the forecast with the limits you set for your UAV.
How it works
Plan your flight in three steps
Set altitude and UAV parameters
Define working altitude, maximum wind and other critical operating limits.
Get a condition assessment
See weather risk and the factors outside your selected limits.
FlightSpace shows both the assessment and the factors behind it. Screenshots illustrate the interface, not current weather.

Condition assessment
Know which conditions need attention.
Wind, gusts, precipitation and visibility are compared with your settings. See what is within limits and what needs a closer look.
Wind at working altitudeCheck the altitude profile, not only the wind near the ground.Compare available forecastsSee where sources agree and where the forecast needs caution.Choose the time of flightReview forecast conditions for the time you plan to take off.
Based on your selected weather limits. “Favorable conditions” means the checked parameters are within the UAV limits you configured. It is not a guarantee of safety or legal compliance.
Route analysis
Check the route, not just the launch point.
Conditions can change between takeoff and arrival. Check weather along a route up to 250 km and identify sections that exceed your selected limits.

Terrain, LOS and Fresnel clearance
See what lies between the ground station and the aircraft. Radio frequency is used to calculate the first Fresnel zone.
- Digital terrain profile
- Direct line of sight

A digital terrain model cannot include every local obstacle, tree, structure or source of radio interference.
Weather intelligence
Surface weather is only part of the picture.
Compare weather at your working altitude and across available sources. Agreement helps show where forecasts differ; it is not a guarantee of accuracy.
Altitude profile
Weather changes with altitude
Above Ground Level means altitude above the surface.
Wind, temperature and humidity at working altitude can differ significantly from surface conditions.
Illustrative wind profile; values are not a live forecast.
5,000 m18 m/s
4,000 m15 m/s
3,000 m11 m/s
2,000 m8 m/s
1,000 m6 m/s
0 m3 m/s
Source comparison
Do not rely on one forecast
It shows how close the available forecast values are. It does not measure future forecast accuracy.
FlightSpace shows how closely available sources agree for a single weather parameter.
Example wind-speed comparison
ECMWF8 m/s
ICON9 m/s
GFS8 m/s
Apple Weather8 m/s
AgreementHigh92%
92% represents agreement between forecast sources, not forecast accuracy.
Supported sources include ECMWF, ICON, GFS, Apple Weather and additional automatically selected sources. Parameter availability depends on region and forecast horizon.
UAV limits
One forecast does not fit every UAV
Different aircraft have different acceptable conditions. FlightSpace compares the forecast with weather limits set by the operator.
Illustrative values, not a live forecast. Your own aircraft limits take priority.

FAQ
Questions about FlightSpace
What is FlightSpace?
A professional iOS app for UAV flight planning with altitude weather, routes, terrain and weather-risk assessment.
How is FlightSpace different from a normal weather app?
It evaluates conditions at working altitude and along a route, then compares them with the limits of a specific UAV.
What UAVs can I use FlightSpace with?
Fixed-wing aircraft, multirotors, FPV, mapping and inspection UAVs. The operator defines the limits.
What does AGL mean?
Above Ground Level means altitude above the surface rather than altitude above sea level.
How far can FlightSpace analyze a route?
Up to 250 km, depending on the available plan and forecast-data coverage.
What weather sources does FlightSpace use?
Forecasts from Open-Meteo are delivered through the FlightSpace server. Apple Weather uses WeatherKit. Available parameters depend on the selected source, location and forecast period.
Does 92% agreement mean 92% accuracy?
No. It describes how similar the available forecast values are, not the accuracy of future weather.
Does FlightSpace replace official aviation information?
No. Always check NOTAMs, airspace restrictions, local regulations and actual conditions.
Does FlightSpace store my routes or coordinates?
Routes, bookmarks and settings are stored locally where technically possible. Coordinates are sent to weather services only to fulfill a forecast request.
What is FlightSpace Pro?
The advanced plan with weather up to 5,000 m, route analysis, terrain, LOS/Fresnel, forecast comparison and offline capabilities.
