The Flight Tool

Every flight, planned properly.

I built my own flight-planning tool, and it's how I run every shoot, weather, reccys, risk assessments and safety checks, all in one place. It's free for anyone who flies, and here's what it does.

Live weather & wind

Real-time wind, gusts, visibility and rain with a clear go / caution / no-fly call, tuned to the exact drone you're flying that day.

Location reccys

Scout and save each spot before you fly, hazards, airspace notes, launch points, shot ideas and photos, all kept in one place.

Risk assessments

Build a proper risk assessment using the FPV UK scoring system, then export it as a clean PDF, ready to share with a client or venue.

Pre-flight checklists

A guided pre-flight checklist on every job, adapting to your drone and its class, so nothing gets missed before takeoff.

ND filter calculator

Work out the right ND filter and camera settings for the light and frame rate, with plain-English explanations, not just numbers.

UK rules, in plain English

The rules that actually apply to your drone and its weight class, registration, separation distances and where you can and can't fly.

Multi-drone profiles

Switch between drones and everything adapts, wind limits, ND maths, rules and checklists all change to match the aircraft you're flying.

Golden & blue hour

Sunrise, sunset and the exact golden and blue hour windows for any location, so you're set up when the light's at its best.

Add to home screen

Works like an app on your phone, install it to your home screen and it's there on every shoot, online or off.

Why it exists

Good aerial work starts before the drone leaves the bag.

The difference between a nice clip and a proper shoot is the planning nobody sees, the weather call, the reccy, the risk assessment, the checklist. I built this tool so all of that lives in one place, and made it free so anyone flying can use it too.
