Using Zulu Terminal

What is a pre-flight briefing?

A pre-flight briefing combines weather data, airport hazards, aircraft risk profiles, and NTSB accident history into a single AI-enriched safety report for your planned flight.

Do I need an N-number to create a briefing?

No. You can create a briefing with just departure and destination airports. Adding your aircraft N-number unlocks tail-specific risk data, airworthiness directives, and SDR trends.

Where does the safety data come from?

Zulu Terminal pulls from FAA registries, NTSB accident reports, airworthiness directives, service difficulty reports, and real-time METAR/TAF weather data.

Can I share a briefing?

Yes. Every briefing has a shareable link you can send to a fellow pilot, instructor, or anyone else who needs to review the safety data for your flight.

Privacy & Security

Is my data secure?

Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We never sell your data. Information shared with service providers (like our AI and payment processors) is limited to what’s necessary — see our Privacy Policy for details. You can delete your account and data at any time from Settings.
