About

Pilot Brief ZA is the essential cockpit companion built specifically for South African pilots. Whether you're a student, PPL, CPL or ATPL, open it before every flight to get everything you need in one click — no searching, no wasted time.

━━━ WHAT IT DOES ━━━

🛫 LIVE METAR & TAF LOOKUP
Type any ICAO code (FAOR, FACT, FAGM, FAWK...) and instantly fetch the latest METAR or TAF. METARs are fully decoded — wind, visibility, cloud layers, temperature, QNH — with a colour-coded flight category badge (VFR / MVFR / IFR / LIFR) using ICAO thresholds. Dual-source fetch covers even smaller GA airfields.

🌦️ WEATHER LINKS
One-click access to SAWS Aviation, SA Radar, SA TAF, SA SIGMET, Windy and Ventusky — all pre-set to South Africa.

📡 LIVE TRAFFIC
FlightRadar24, FlightAware, ADS-B Exchange and the FAOR live arrivals board.

📜 REGULATORY & AIP
SACAA, ATNS, SA AIP amendments and ATNS NOTAMs — the pages SA pilots actually use.

🕐 UTC / ZULU CLOCK
Always-on Zulu time and date in the header — no calculator needed.

🟥 SQUAWK CODES & FREQUENCIES
7700 / 7600 / 7500 emergency codes, VFR defaults (2000 fixed wing, 2600 rotary), 121.5 MHz guard and 406 MHz ELT — at a glance.

🔢 UNIT CONVERTER
Speed (kts · km/h · mph · m/s), Distance (nm · km · mi · m), Altitude (ft · m), Temperature (°C · °F · K) and Pressure (hPa · inHg · mmHg). Instant, multi-directional.

📞 EMERGENCY CONTACTS
ARCC Search & Rescue, ATNS Operations, SACAA, SAWS Aviation Weather direct line, and 112 — always one tap away.

━━━ WHY PILOT BRIEF ZA? ━━━

• Built for South African airspace — SA-specific links, SA phone numbers, SA regulations
• No account, no login, no tracking, no data collection
• Works offline for everything except live weather fetch
• Minimal permissions — only contacts NOAA and aviationweather.gov for METAR/TAF data
• Clean, fast interface — opens in under a second

━━━ PRIVACY ━━━

Pilot Brief ZA does not collect, store or transmit any personal data. The only external connections made are to aviationweather.gov and tgftp.nws.noaa.gov to fetch METAR/TAF data when you request it. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking.

Fly safe. 🛩️
