FAA-cycle charts, terrain, winds, and NOTAMs in one place. RightSeat drafts the route brief, and voice debrief turns the memo you record at shutdown into a logbook entry.
RightSeat works from DEM terrain, current winds aloft, active NOTAMs & TFRs, FAA publications, your aircraft profile, and your route. It drafts the brief so you can verify the source data faster and stay PIC.
Streams a structured pre-flight brief: surface winds, winds aloft at your cruise, METAR/TAF for reporting stations along the route, active TFRs and SIGMETs, and terrain clearance for each leg.
Turns a raw METAR like “231453Z 25008G18KT 6SM -RA BR OVC012” into a useful read: MVFR, ceiling 1,200, light rain, gust factor 10 kt.
Record a memo on the ramp at shutdown. The assistant parses crosswind, approach quality, learning notes, and writes a structured logbook entry that imports cleanly into ForeFlight or MyFlightbook.
Stays out of your way during taxi, runup, and pattern work. Only speaks when you ask, or when something on the chart changes that you need to know about.
Charts pull on the 28-day NACO cycle - same effective dates as the books in the right seat. Weather products from NWS render on the same projection as your route, not tacked on top.
VFR sectional, terminal area chart (TAC), IFR low and high enroute, instrument approach plates (IAP), SIDs and STARs. Pinch-zoom across all six without losing your bearings - Mapbox GL keeps the projection continuous.
Surface obs every minute, NEXRAD radar every 5, PIREPs as they come in. Decoded cards or raw strings, your choice. RightSeat cross-checks the raw data against your filed altitude and summarizes the part that matters for the route.

“I file VFR, get a brief, fly the leg, record the voice memo at shutdown. The logbook entry is already there when I park the airplane. I haven’t hand-written a logbook entry in three months.”
