Terms & Disclaimer

1. Purpose and Scope

Weather4Fly is designed to assist drone pilots with weather-related flight planning and decision-making. This app provides weather information, flight condition assessments, and related tools to support safe drone operations.

This app is NOT:

• A certified aviation weather system
• A replacement for official weather briefings
• A guarantee of flight safety or conditions
• A substitute for pilot training or judgment
• Approved for commercial aviation operations

2. Weather Data Limitations

3. Flight Safety Responsibilities

As a drone pilot, you are responsible for:

• Regulatory Compliance: Following all applicable aviation regulations (FAA, EASA, Transport Canada, etc.)
• Licensing: Obtaining proper certifications and permits for your operations
• Weather Assessment: Using multiple sources to assess flight conditions
• Risk Management: Evaluating and mitigating all flight risks
• Equipment Inspection: Ensuring your drone is airworthy before each flight
• Situational Awareness: Monitoring conditions throughout your flight

4. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

• Weather4Fly and its developers assume NO LIABILITY for any damages, losses, accidents, or incidents
• We make NO WARRANTIES about the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of the information provided
• You use this app AT YOUR OWN RISK
• We are NOT responsible for flight decisions made based on app data
• We are NOT liable for any technical failures, data errors, or service interruptions

5. Recommended Practices

For safe drone operations, we strongly recommend:

1. Multiple Weather Sources: Always cross-reference with official weather services, local observations, and other pilots
2. Conservative Decision Making: When in doubt, don't fly. Weather4Fly's "caution" recommendations should be taken seriously
3. Real-Time Monitoring: Continuously monitor conditions during flight and be prepared to land immediately if conditions deteriorate
4. Emergency Planning: Always have a plan for emergency landing and loss of communication
5. Equipment Redundancy: Carry backup batteries, memory cards, and communication devices when appropriate
6. Regular Training: Keep your skills current through regular practice and continuing education

6. Technical Disclaimers

6.1 GPS and Location Services

GPS accuracy can be affected by atmospheric conditions, satellite positioning, urban canyons, and geomagnetic activity. The K-index monitoring in Weather4Fly helps identify periods of potential GPS degradation, but is not a guarantee of GPS performance.

6.2 No-Fly Zone Data

NFZ and airspace restriction data may not be complete or current. Always verify airspace restrictions through official sources such as aviation authorities, NOTAMs, and current charts.

6.3 Algorithm Limitations

Our flight safety assessment algorithm is based on general meteorological principles and typical drone performance characteristics. It cannot account for all variables affecting flight safety, including pilot skill, specific aircraft modifications, or unique local conditions.

7. Data Privacy

Weather4Fly is designed with privacy as a core principle. We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal information or flight data. All processing occurs locally on your device. For complete details, see our Privacy Policy.

8. Updates and Changes

We may update the app, its algorithms, data sources, or these terms at any time. Continued use of the app constitutes acceptance of any changes. Check for updates regularly to ensure you have the latest features and improvements.
