Verified PlaneWX Pro Plus members are eligible for risk-based premium credits through 5X5's Safety Rewards program. 5X5 does not receive your PlaneWX weather briefings, scores, flight decisions, FRAT/PAVE responses, or self debrief information. For an aircraft 5X5 already insures, 5X5 can see only whether that aircraft is enrolled in PlaneWX Pro Plus and, at renewal, a utilization figure used solely to confirm PlaneWX Member Credit eligibility. PlaneWX never shares your name, email address, or customer list with 5X5.

For an aircraft 5X5 already insures, 5X5 can see only whether that aircraft is enrolled in PlaneWX Pro Plus and, at renewal, a utilization figure used solely to confirm PlaneWX Member Credit eligibility.

If you are instrument-rated and the airplane is IFR-certified, a VFR WX Score crushed by ceilings is not the whole story. PlaneWX now shows the IFR number on the same briefing — and lets you switch the leg with one tap.

Pilots in 30 countries are using PlaneWX, with briefings filed in 35. The briefing is not a U.S. product with a few extras bolted on. When a new country shows up, we add the products that route actually needs.

Four times a day a meteorologist at your NWS office writes what they think the weather is doing and why. PlaneWX now puts that office — and their own sentence — on the home airport card, the morning digest, and the briefing.
Read more →Live Radar Now Changes the Thunderstorm Score
Models answer whether storms could fire. MRMS radar answers whether they are on your path right now. When the corridor is empty, that thunderstorm deduction can go away — CONUS, near-term, and only downward.
Read more →Wildfire Smoke on the Briefing — and 104 Journeys Into Oshkosh
Smoke can wreck VFR visibility a long way from the fire, while both METARs still look fine. PlaneWX now scores that corridor. During AirVenture week, 104 PlaneWX journeys were planned into Wittman Regional.

A briefing card answers whether the destination ramp is safe to leave the airplane on. Then, if you want it, texts keep watching — and you can tell PlaneWX hangar, ramp, or home from your phone.
