“I fly an SF50 and own a business that operates in multiple states. I also have 9 years experience as a Nav on C130s in the Marine Corps. This is the best product for long range weather planning. Executive time is valuable — schedules are tight. Having weather outlook 2 weeks out helps drive internal conversations if plans need to change early. It's certainly worth a try!”

What pilots are saying
From students building hours to ATP captains flying jets.
“I've been beta testing this product for a few weeks now and I'm really enjoying it. It does a very good job of synthesizing multiple weather products and highlighting the key factors to be aware of. It links everything back to the source data so you can verify if anything looks amiss.”
Adam
Private
“This tool has a great flow to it, and tells me what I want to know. I'm by no means a weather geek. I'm looking to assess risk. This looks promising.”
Vas
Instrument Rated
“I just signed up a couple of days ago and super impressed. This is way better than other solutions I use mainly because it interprets the weather and gives me conclusions.”
Sukumar
Commercial
“Very impressive and helpful. Great use of A.I. I can relate to your comments about going to many different websites piecing things together.”

“I've been using this for several weeks. For big trips that are a week away it helps me stay aware of the outlook and sometimes highlights things that I'm not seeing. I like it.”

What are they all using?
PlaneWX is the first decision support system built specifically for GA pilots. It doesn't just show weather — it tells you what it means for your aircraft and your minimums.
Every EFB & Weather Tool
PlaneWX
The WX Score: weather risk, quantified
A 0–100% risk metric calculated against your personal minimums and your specific aircraft. Not generic VFR/IFR categories. Every deduction is transparent and explained.
It updates automatically as weather evolves — 40+ times over 14 days — so you never face a last-minute go/no-go scramble.
Illustrative example. Your score reflects your aircraft and minimums.

Safety is not a premium feature.
Every free briefing uses the same AI engine, the same weather models, and the same scoring methodology as a Pro briefing. We limit how much you can use PlaneWX, not how well it works. Paid plans unlock convenience and scale — not the quality of the analysis that keeps you safe.

Frequently asked questions
Founder's Story
“I built PlaneWX because I needed it.”
PlaneWX was founded in 2025 by Mark Wolfgang, an experienced technology entrepreneur and General Aviation pilot.
After selling his Information Security consulting company in December 2022, Mark retired and bought his first airplane — a Diamond DA40 NG. He earned his Private Pilot's license in just six weeks and started flying his wife and dog around the country.
After completing an accelerated IFR program in five days, Mark discovered the complexities of weather planning for instrument flying. He grew frustrated having to tell his wife, “Yeah, we should be good. I'll let you know after the TAF comes out tonight.”
Now flying a Cirrus SR22T with over 800 hours total time — including 620 hours of cross-country PIC in 18 months — Mark built PlaneWX to solve his own problem. What started as personal frustration became a mission to help every pilot answer the question: “Is this flight going to happen?”
Mark Wolfgang is a Commercial Instrument pilot with single and multiengine ratings, and a veteran of the U.S. Navy.
