DroneChecker answers "can I fly my drone today?" before you leave the house, with one clear verdict for UK pilots: Good to Fly, Fly with Caution or Do Not Fly.

It uses your own drone's wind limits, not a generic rule, so a DJI Mini 4K and a Mavic 4 Pro can get different answers on the same day. Gusts, rain, visibility, fog and low cloud, cold and geomagnetic activity are all checked too.

Then check the map: UK no fly zones, danger areas and ground hazards, with live NOTAMs on Pro. Also a pre-flight checklist and ID reminders.
