FlightShield gives general aviation pilots an objective, second pair of eyes risk briefing in under 60 seconds. By stress-testing personal minimums and aircraft POH limits against live METARs/TAFs, runway slopes, wet grass penalties, and official AAIB/NTSB accident intelligence, it flags hidden threats like sun glare on final, icing risks, and performance traps so pilots make confident go/no-go decisions. Safety-critical functions use deterministic mathematical formulae, not generative AI.
“In aviation, every rule that we have, everything we know, every procedure we use, we know because someone, or often many people, died. We have learned important safety lessons purchased at great cost, sometimes literally bought in blood. We have an obligation not to forget these lessons and have to relearn them”.
— Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger
Aviation accidents don’t care about pilot logbook hours or onboard technology. Catching just one mistake stops the Swiss cheese holes from aligning before failures compound.
Pre-flight planning is the cheapest insurance you can buy - the ground is the place to mitigate risk, not at altitude.
I built FlightShield for my own flights, but opened it to keep us all safer. If it convinces just one pilot to skip a risky flight or catch a hidden threat, it did its job.
