Built for the safety-conscious pilot

Every feature answers one question: what do I need to know before this flight?

Pre-Flight Safety Briefing
See accident history along your route, weather risk patterns, and personalized safety recommendations — all specific to your aircraft type and airports.
Aircraft Risk Profile
Look up any N-number and see its full safety picture: accident history, active Airworthiness Directives, Service Difficulty Reports, and recurring issues for that make and model.
Airport Hazard Assessment
For any US airport: nearby accident patterns, terrain and weather risks, runway data, and real-time METAR/TAF — before you file your flight plan.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the data come from?

Directly from government sources: NTSB accident reports, FAA Airworthiness Directives, FAA Service Difficulty Reports, and NASA’s Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS). We index and refresh this data regularly.

Is this FAA-approved?

Zulu Terminal is not an FAA-certified tool. It’s a supplemental safety resource that helps you prepare — like reading accident reports before a flight, but faster and personalized to your route.

How is this different from ForeFlight?

ForeFlight is a flight planning and navigation tool. Zulu Terminal is focused purely on safety intelligence — accident history, risk patterns, and aircraft-specific hazards that flight planners don’t surface.

Is the data accurate?

We pull directly from official NTSB and FAA databases. Our analysis synthesizes patterns from this data — it doesn’t fabricate information. Every briefing links back to source reports you can verify.

Do I need to create an account?

No. You can use Zulu Terminal as a guest with no sign-up required. Creating a free account gives you higher rate limits and the ability to save aircraft and routes.

How much does it cost?

Free to try as a guest. Full access is $8.99/month, which unlocks unlimited briefings, saved aircraft, and priority safety analysis. See our pricing page for details.
