For a complete description of PilotGEEK’s briefer features, please refer to the FAQ.
Free Briefer
The free briefer provides weather and safety information along a route. By specifying an origination and destination airport, the free briefer calculates a great circle route and provides METAR and TAF data for airports along the route based upon your requested route width as well as trip distance and initial course. Additionally, you receive notification of TFRs that may be present in the vicinity of flight, NOTAMs for the origination and destination airports as well as a radar loop for the origination airport. By clicking on the radar, you can scroll the radar‘s view to view weather in other areas.
The free briefer is free of charge.
Trial Briefer
The trial briefer provides you with 30 days of access to the cell briefer functionality, including:
- Cell phone web access to the PilotGEEK route briefer. The cell phone route briefer provides you with similar capability as the Free Briefer; providing TFRs, up to 10 METAR and TAF reports along a route, static weather radar centered around each METAR reporting station, FSS and ASOS phone numbers and origination and destination airport NOTAMs. Cell phone web access requires your cell telephone to be web enabled.
- Text message interface to PilotGEEK cell briefer. The text message interface allows you to send a text message to one of 6 addresses and receive a METAR, TAF, TFR, Winds Aloft, ASOS or local FSS phone number as a reply.
- Event notification text messages which enable the PilotGEEK system to send you a text message when weather or TFR conditions change at one any of 5 user specified airports.
The Trial Briefer is free for the trial period. You will receive no more than 5 reminders during the 30 day period indicating your trial will be expiring.

Cell Briefer Yearly
The cell briefer yearly lets you utilize all of the cell briefer features for a full year once the trial briefer period expires.
