Frequently Asked Questions
Does Weather4Fly collect my location data?

Weather data is provided by professional weather services like OpenWeatherMap. While generally accurate, weather conditions can change rapidly. Always use Weather4Fly as one of multiple information sources for flight decisions.
What is K-index and why is it important?
