Terms of Service

Last updated: April 2026

Important: FlightDecide is an advisory tool only. It is not a substitute for official FAA weather briefings, certified flight planning software, or the judgment of a qualified pilot in command. The pilot in command bears sole responsibility for all flight decisions. Read these terms carefully before use.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using the FlightDecide mobile application ("App") or accessing any related services ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App or Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and FlightDecide ("we," "us," or "our"). If you are using the App on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

2. Nature of Service: Advisory Tool Only

FlightDecide is an informational and advisory tool designed to assist pilots in organizing and reviewing flight-relevant data. The App does not provide certified aeronautical information, official weather briefings, or FAA-approved flight planning services.

FlightDecide is NOT:

All outputs, scores, verdicts, and AI-generated briefings are informational only and should be verified against official sources before any flight decision is made.

3. Pilot in Command Responsibility

Pursuant to 14 CFR Section 91.3, the pilot in command (PIC) of an aircraft is directly responsible for, and is the final authority as to, the operation of that aircraft. Nothing in the App or Service modifies, reduces, or transfers this responsibility.

You, as the pilot in command, bear sole and complete responsibility for:

A GO verdict from FlightDecide does not authorize flight, confirm airworthiness, or substitute for any regulatory requirement. You must exercise independent judgment at all times.

4. Data Sources and Limitations

The App retrieves meteorological data from aviationweather.gov and related FAA/NOAA services. While we make reasonable efforts to display this data accurately, we cannot guarantee:

Data may be delayed, incomplete, or incorrect due to factors beyond our control including network issues, government service outages, or changes in data formats.

5. Performance Data Disclaimer

Aircraft performance figures included in the App are derived from publicly available Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) data and are provided for informational and planning purposes only. These figures:

Always use the actual POH for your specific aircraft registration when computing takeoff, landing, and climb performance for actual flight operations.

6. AI-Generated Content Limitations

The App uses large language model (LLM) AI technology to generate narrative briefings and analysis. AI-generated content:

The AI model may occasionally produce outputs that are confident-sounding but factually incorrect. You must independently verify any critical information before acting on it.

7. Weather Data Disclaimer

Weather information provided through the App is sourced from publicly available government data services. This data is provided as-is and may not reflect current or forecast conditions at your specific location. Always obtain an official FAA weather briefing from an authorized provider before flight. Conditions can change rapidly, and the App does not provide real-time updates during flight.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FLIGHTDECIDE AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE APP OR SERVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

THIS LIMITATION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARE BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

THE APP AND SERVICE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION:

10. Indemnification
