UK VFR briefing without the tab overload.Free NOTAMs to start. Pro workflow when you need more.
VFR Wise UK brings together free NOTAM access, Student Hub guidance, pilot tools, and a Pro briefing workflow for UK VFR flying, so you spend less time stitching information together and more time making a sound pre-flight decision.
Pilot Briefing
Pull local NOTAMs, frequencies, daylight, runway detail, and weather into one home-airfield briefing instead of checking five separate places.
AI NOTAM Briefing
Turn dense UK notices into plain-English operational impact so you stop wasting time decoding what actually matters.
Runway and low-level weather
Check likely runway fit, surface wind, and 2,000 ft conditions before you set off for the airfield and find the plan no longer works.
Airspace and navigation data
View UK airspace on the map and browse navaids, VRPs, and aerodrome reference without jumping between sites or PDFs.
Fuel and planning tools
Check fuel margin, compare weather, and work through practical planning tools without losing the thread halfway through briefing.
Should I Fly?
A fun quick check on today’s conditions that is easy to share if you are deciding whether to fly with friends.
Free to start
Basic NOTAM access, Student Hub, METAR and TAF decoders, plus RT practice tools.
Live Briefing Example
