01 / Airport briefing

Your airport,
clearly.

The details you need.
Room to make sense of them.

Wind and gusts, visibility, ceiling, temperature, altimeter, and density altitude in a focused airport briefing. Check the observation age, then open the forecast, runway comparison, or original report for more detail.

02 / Personal minimums

Your limits.
In view.

Set personal limits for ceiling, visibility, wind, gusts, and crosswind, plus flight categories you do not accept. Guided setup offers editable starting points; you choose the limits.

GONO-GOINCOMPLETE

Review the reasons behind each result. Missing, invalid, or stale required information cannot establish a passing check. A known exceeded limit can still produce NO-GO when another check is incomplete.

Sample weather compared with personal ceiling, visibility, wind, gust, and crosswind limits.

03 / Runway winds

Wind by runway.

Compare sustained and gust crosswind, headwind, and tailwind across runway ends with usable published data. See the best alignment for the reported sustained wind and compare the alternatives.

Wind alignment does not identify the runway in use or account for closures, runway length, surface conditions, or all suitability factors. Check current NOTAMs and restrictions separately.

Runway-end wind comparisons with sustained and gust crosswind, headwind, and tailwind.

Saved airports with sample weather readings, flight categories, and report ages.

Your airports. Together.

Save favorites and compare wind, visibility, ceiling, flight category, report age, and your minimums. Search by airport code, name, or city. Optional location helps find nearby reports.

Decoded TAF with a selected forecast period and its expected conditions.

Follow the forecast.

Explore decoded TAF periods and alternate forecast conditions, with clear validity information and access to the original forecast. Availability depends on the reporting station.

Regional weather map with reporting stations, filters, and a flight-category legend.

Weather across the map.

Browse U.S. reporting stations and filter by flight category or your personal minimums. Open an airport from the map for its detailed briefing.

05 / Data & context

Know the source.

A report is only part of the picture.
Know where it came from, and when.

FAA runway geometry and field elevations can update independently of app releases. Expand Data Sources at the bottom of an airport briefing to see weather sources, publication dates, report age, and update status.

Updates require a connection and a successful download. Published airport data is not a live closure or runway-in-use service. Unavailable values are identified instead of replaced with invented readings.

06 / Make it yours

Two modes.
One clear view.

Choose Light, Dark, or System.
Keep the focus on your briefing.

Set weather times to UTC / Zulu or your device’s local time zone, adjust your personal limits, and share a weather summary through the iOS share sheet.

The app’s Local setting uses your device’s time zone, which may differ from the airport’s.

A few useful answers

Before you go.

Visit support ↗
How much does Minimums cost?

Minimums Pro offers monthly or yearly subscriptions and a lifetime one-time purchase. Current prices and eligible offers appear in the app before you buy. If you already purchased Pro, use Restore Purchases on the paywall or in Settings.

What does INCOMPLETE mean?

Required information is missing, stale, invalid, or unavailable, so Minimums cannot establish a passing check. Open the comparison to see what needs attention. A known exceeded limit can still produce NO-GO when another check is incomplete.

Does it work offline?

Previously cached information may remain available, but it ages. New weather and FAA updates need a connection. Missing or expired required data can make an assessment incomplete. Do not rely on the app as an offline briefing service.

Can I use it without location access?

Yes. Location is optional and supports nearby airports and map positioning. You can search without it. Change permission in iOS Settings.
