Every well-prepared flight goes through the same questions: what is the weather at the origin, the destination and the alternates? Which NOTAM really matters? What changes at the airport? What is the risk of this specific combination of pilot, aircraft, environment and mission?
The problem was never a lack of information — it is that the information lives in five different places, in raw code, fifteen minutes before the engine turns.
Alis's Flight Kit builds this briefing for you: the AI reads weather, NOTAM, ROTAER and route data and returns a single document — with a risk score, threats organized by the PAVE method, suggested mitigations and the sources cited for every item.
How it works
Origin, destination and time — the platform already has the rest: aircraft, crew, route.
METAR, TAF, NOTAM and ROTAER from the official publications — decoded and filtered by relevance.
Risk score, PAVE threats with mitigations, alternates and fuel — in tabs on screen and as a PDF.
What goes into the briefing
- Decoded weather — METAR and TAF for the origin, the destination and the alternates, translated into plain language: wind, visibility, ceiling, temperature, QNH and trends;
- NOTAM filtered by relevance — the critical ones first, separated from the noise: closed runways and taxiways, inoperative aids, new obstacles;
- Airport and route data — ROTAER information, suggested alternates and a fuel estimate with contingency;
- Flight risk score — a number and a color that summarize the day's combination, calculated from the flight's factors, not from impression;
- Threats and mitigations through PAVE — each factor assessed, and each threat paired with a concrete mitigation.
The result comes organized in tabs on screen and exports as a PDF — the same document for the pilot, the operator and the flight file.
The four letters the AI assesses
PAVE is the classic method for organizing a flight's threats. Flight Kit goes through the four dimensions with the day's real data:
The pilot of this flight: factors such as recency, experience on the route and on the type — the link that shows up most in the statistics.
The aircraft: operational status, what the platform knows about its maintenance and its limitations for the day's mission.
The environment: weather along the route and at the alternates, NOTAM, airport conditions, daylight and terrain.
External pressures: a tight schedule, passenger expectations, a commitment at the destination — the factor nobody writes down and everyone feels.
A real FRAT, not a form filled out on your knee
The pre-flight risk assessment most operations keep is a form filled out in a hurry — when it exists at all. Flight Kit turns the FRAT into a product of the briefing: the factors arrive already filled in with the flight's real data, the score is calculated, and what is left for the pilot is what matters — to judge and decide.
The score is read in three bands:
Combination within expectations — the briefing confirms and documents the decision to fly.
The day's combination calls for review — talk with operations before any engine turns.
The logic is detailed in two blog articles: FRAT and PAVE in risk assessment and the role of AI in pre-flight.
Sources cited, always
A briefing without a source is opinion. Every Flight Kit block points to where the information came from — in Brazil, from the official weather and aeronautical information publications; on international flights, from the country's equivalent sources. If the AI summarized, you can check the original in one tap.
On WhatsApp too
Flight Kit's weather answers where the pilot already is: on the Alis assistant on WhatsApp. One message — "how is SBKP?" — returns decoded METAR, TAF and NOTAM, with the sources. On the ramp, in the car, in the briefing with the owner.
What Flight Kit is not
Transparency that is part of the product: Flight Kit is decision support. It does not replace the judgment of the pilot in command, the applicable manuals, the aircraft's MEL/CDL or your company's operational dispatch. It exists so that the decision is made with the full picture in front of you — not to make it for you.
Integrated with the rest of the operation
Flight Kit is a platform module, not a separate app: the flight it prepares is the same one that scheduling books, the logbook records and CTM deducts from the due dates. One piece of data, one flow — from briefing to post-flight.
