FlyBrief

UK NOTAM intelligence for paraglider pilots โ€” built by a pilot, for pilots.

๐Ÿช‚ Open FlyBrief NOTAMs About the project

About me

I'm a paragliding pilot based in the UK. I fly XC, vol biv, solo and dual โ€” chasing thermals at home and abroad whenever the forecast plays ball.

My current solo setup is an Advance Lightness 4 harness with an Ozone Lyght or AirDesign Volt 5 wing. For tandems I carry whatever the passenger demands and the hill allows.

๐Ÿ—บ XC & Vol Biv

Cross-country flying and multi-day hike, fly & camp trips โ€” lightweight kit, big skies, and sleeping under the stars.

๐ŸŒ Flying abroad

Regular trips to flying destinations across Europe and beyond โ€” always chasing good air and new sites.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ Dual / tandem

Sharing the joy of paragliding with passengers. There's nothing quite like someone's first flight.

๐Ÿ›  Builder

When the weather's rubbish I build tools โ€” FlyBrief started as a personal itch to scratch and grew from there.

๐Ÿช‚ FlyBrief NOTAMs

Standard NOTAM feeds are built for GA pilots โ€” full of runway closures, ILS outages and taxiway works that mean nothing to a paraglider. FlyBrief strips all of that out, colour-codes what's left by hazard type, and delivers a clean OpenAir file ready to load into Oudie, SkyDemon, or XCTrack.

UK NOTAMs โ€” today & tomorrow

Filtered, colour-coded airspace for free-flight pilots. Updated three times daily. Load directly into your instrument.

Danger areas, BVLOS drone corridors, kite flying, tethered balloons, laser displays, parachute drops and military exercises โ€” all kept. Aerodrome noise, comms outages and chart amendments โ€” all removed. Read more about how it works โ†’
