Calm-window alerts
We watch every daylight hour at your field and message you once when a flyable stretch opens. Not a firehose — one alert, when it matters.
Tuned to your aircraft
A foamie and a 40%-scale don't share a wind limit. Pick your craft type and the thresholds move with it — or set exact numbers yourself.
Real crosswind math
For fields with a measured runway we compute the crosswind component, not just raw wind — so a 12 mph day straight down the strip isn't treated like 12 mph across it.
Morning brief & weekend planner
A 7 AM read on the day with a colour strip of every hour, and a Friday look at which weekend day actually flies.
Quiet hours
Nothing buzzes at 5 AM unless you want it to. Set the window you'll actually read.
2,400+ AMA fields
The full AMA Club Finder inventory, with club-supplied runway headings where we have them and a correction form where we don't.

The bot lives inside Telegram — a free messaging app like WhatsApp or iMessage. There's no separate app to install, and alerts arrive as ordinary messages.
Telegram has copycat bots — this is the only official one. It never asks for payment details; Premium is billed by Telegram itself.

Setup runs inside Telegram — no commands to memorize. Search 2,400+ AMA club fields, then tell it what you fly: park flyer up to giant scale sets your wind and gust limits, and you can fine-tune them. After that the alerts run themselves.
Free covers one field. Premium covers your season.
Everything on this website stays free and open — field pages, live wind, crosswind, the club widget. Premium is for pilots watching more than one field or flying to tight limits.
