Flyability Limits
Overview
Flyability judges every forecast slot (morning and evening, per launch location) against your own weather limits and shows the conclusion as a colour:
- 🟢 good — every parameter within your good range
- 🟠 doubtful — at least one parameter in its warning band
- 🔴 do not fly — at least one parameter beyond your limit
The verdicts appear on the dashboard weather card (an icon on every AM/PM date chip and a detail strip for the selected slot), on the location detail, and on the flight detail — including a chip that stays visible when the weather panel is collapsed. The strip always names the parameters that caused the verdict, with their forecast values, so you see why a slot is orange or red.
The verdict is planning support, not an operational decision — the pilot in command decides.
Switching it on
Flyability is off by default. Open Settings → weather settings and NOTAM → flyability limits and use the switch at the top of the card. Off means the weather card and flight detail look exactly as before — no colours, no verdicts.
The six parameters
| Parameter | What it means |
|---|---|
| Ground wind | Average wind at ground level in the flight window — decides whether inflating, launching and landing are safe; the limit most flights are called off on |
| Wind at ~500 m | Wind at typical cruise height — sets how fast and far you travel, and how much landing area you need |
| Gust spread | How much stronger gusts are than the steady wind — sudden pulls on the envelope during inflation and landing |
| Precipitation | Rain in the slot window — a wet envelope is heavy and hard on the fabric |
| Low clouds | Cloud cover below cruise height — visibility of the ground and of other traffic |
| Visibility | Horizontal visibility — legal minima and safe navigation |
Each parameter shows a proportional green/orange/red band bar labelled with the ranges it covers, a plain-language explanation, and both boundaries (good → doubtful, doubtful → do not fly).
Editing and resetting
- Adjust any boundary; the band bar updates immediately and the new limits apply to all verdicts as soon as you save.
- A parameter you never touched keeps following the platform default, including future improvements to it.
- Reset restores the default per parameter, or for all parameters at once — the editor always shows what the default value is, so you can tell an override from a default.
Missing data
If the forecast lacks a value for a parameter (for example gust data for some sources), that parameter is simply excluded from the verdict — a missing value never produces a false “do not fly”. When too little data is available for a slot, no verdict is shown at all.
