Über WingGuide AI (by Nicolas Rioux)
Welcome to the Hangar!
I’m a pilot and developer with a passion for flight and clean data. My goal with WingGuide AI is to build tools that make the "go/no-go" decision a little easier and a lot safer for the General Aviation community.
The Mission: VFR Flight Planner
I spend a lot of time in the cockpit, and like many of you, I realized that while the data is out there, it isn’t always easy to visualize exactly when the best flight window will open. I created the VFR Flight Planner plugin for Windy to solve this. It automates the analysis of ceilings, visibility, and winds to help you find that perfect VFR window without the guesswork.
Why Support This Project?
Developing and maintaining aviation tools is a labor of love. Your contributions go directly toward:
• Fueling Development: Keeping the plugin updated with the latest weather models and Windy API changes.
• Infrastructure: Helping cover the costs of data processing and testing.
• Open Access: Keeping these tools free and ad-free for all pilots.
If VFR Flight Planner has helped you find more blue skies or saved you time in the briefing room, consider "buying a gallon of fuel" to keep the project moving forward.
Blue skies and tailwinds,
