Can I Fly My Drone Right Now?

Get an instant GO / CAUTION / NO-GO read for your exact spot — and the next 3 hours. We check live wind, gusts, visibility, rain, and clouds against the same Part 107 weather rules the FAA holds you to, then tell you plainly whether it's a good time to launch.

Your location is used once to pull the local forecast and is never stored or sent anywhere but the weather service.

    This is an advisory, not clearance. Good weather doesn't authorize the flight. Still confirm your airspace (try the LAANC checker), check for TFRs and NOTAMs, and get an official briefing at aviationweather.gov or 1-800-WX-BRIEF. Your drone's own wind and temperature limits vary — check the manual.

    How the go / no-go is decided

    The verdict for each hour is the worst of these checks — two of them are actual Part 107 rules, the rest are common-sense limits most drones share.

    📏
    The two hard Part 107 weather rules: you must have at least 3 statute miles of visibility from your control station, and stay 500 ft below and 2,000 ft horizontally from any cloud (and under 400 ft AGL). Cloud cover % below can't tell you the ceiling height — always eyeball the actual cloud base before you launch.

    Weather is all over the Part 107 test

    Reading these conditions is exactly what the exam asks you to do — decode a METAR, spot a low ceiling, know your minimums. Practice with the rest of the free weather tools:
