Decision factors
Every factor in one decision. Nothing overlooked, nothing assumed.
Weather assessment
Ceiling, visibility, winds, crosswind component, precipitation, and icing potential — scored against your personal minimums.
NOTAM and TFR check
Active NOTAMs and TFRs for departure, enroute, and destination evaluated for impact. Showstoppers flagged red.
Pilot currency status
Are you current for this flight? Day/night passenger, IFR, BFR, medical — all checked automatically.
FRAT risk score
Your Flight Risk Assessment Tool score integrated directly. High-risk flights flagged with specific contributing factors.
Personal minimums
Your personal weather minimums, crosswind limits, and night currency — compared against actual conditions for this flight.
Aircraft status
Squawks, inspections due, and AD compliance checked. Aircraft airworthiness verified as part of the decision.
Scoring
Clear scoring and decision support. Not a replacement for judgment — a framework for it.
Overall go/no-go score
Green, yellow, or red overall assessment based on weighted factors. See the decision at a glance.
Factor-by-factor breakdown
Each category scored independently so you see exactly what is driving the overall assessment.
Mitigations
Yellow factors show suggested mitigations — wait for weather improvement, take a different route, or adjust timing.
Decision archive
Every go/no-go decision saved with timestamp and conditions. Review your decision-making over time.
CFI review
Students share their go/no-go assessment with instructors for review and feedback. Builds ADM skills.
Re-evaluate in flight
Conditions changed? Re-run the assessment enroute. The go/no-go decision is continuous, not one-time.
Your judgment, structured
The go/no-go tool does not make the decision for you. It structures the factors so nothing gets overlooked and provides a framework for aeronautical decision-making (ADM).
The best pilots use checklists. The go/no-go tool is a checklist for the most important decision you make before every flight.
