Synthesize, then inspect
Build a structured view of route weather, winds, terrain, NOTAMs, and TFRs while keeping the pilot responsible for checking current source data.
§ 01 / The decision
Useful AI has a defined job and a hard boundary.
The useful job is synthesis. A pilot may need to connect winds aloft, METARs and TAFs, active NOTAMs and TFRs, terrain, route geometry, aircraft context, and personal considerations. RightSeat organizes that picture into a draft that is easier to inspect and challenge.
The boundary is authority. An AI model does not know everything about your aircraft, passengers, maintenance state, proficiency, or the conditions you will actually encounter. It cannot make a go/no-go decision, issue a clearance, or turn an advisory display into an approved navigation source.
Decode without discarding the raw report
Translate dense METAR language into an operationally readable summary, with the original observation still available for verification.
Convert memory into a draft
Turn a shutdown voice memo into structured postflight notes and logbook fields that the pilot reviews before saving.
A safer way to put AI in the loop
Treat AI output as the beginning of a review process, never the end of one.
- 01 · Ask
Frame a specific route question
Provide the route and relevant aircraft context instead of asking for a generic conclusion.
- 02 · Trace
Find the source behind each claim
Check reports, forecasts, charts, NOTAMs, TFRs, and terrain information directly.
- 03 · Challenge
Look for omissions and stale assumptions
Ask what would change the conclusion and identify information the model cannot know.
- 04 · Decide
Exercise pilot judgment
Make the operational decision using current approved information, regulations, aircraft limitations, and personal minimums.
§ 03 / Pilot trust
RightSeat is intentionally not an autopilot for judgment
AI systems can be incomplete, stale, or wrong. Fly Overhead labels RightSeat as advisory, preserves the expectation of source verification, and keeps critical operational decisions with the pilot. If the output cannot be verified, do not use it as the basis for action.
For weather briefings, navigation, aircraft operation, and regulatory compliance, pilots must use the sources, equipment, and procedures appropriate to the flight. RightSeat is a supplemental organization tool.

Can AI plan my flight for me?
RightSeat can draft and organize a route brief, but the pilot must verify current data and make every operational and regulatory decision.
What data does RightSeat use?
The workflow can incorporate route context, terrain, current winds, METARs and TAFs, NOTAMs, TFRs, FAA publications, and aircraft profile information available to Fly Overhead.
Can RightSeat make a go/no-go recommendation?
No. It is not designed or authorized to replace pilot judgment, personal minimums, official briefings, or required decision-making.
What happens after the flight?
A pilot can record a voice debrief and use RightSeat to create a structured logbook draft, then review and correct it before saving.
