Weather.Co is free for CFIs and flight schools — always.
For Flight Instructors and Schools

Weather.Co Pro is free for CFIs and flight schools. Always.

Weather.Co is built for general aviation. The pilots who teach it deserve the same tools the working pilot has — and the schools training the next generation shouldn't have to budget around weather data.

So we don't make you. Full Weather.Co Pro access. No expiration. No seat limits inside a school. Just send us proof.

What's included

Everything in Weather.Co Pro — for as long as you need it.

01
Full aviation suite
Proactive briefings, METAR/TAF, route weather, icing & turbulence, AIRMETs/SIGMETs, lightning, satellite, radar, winds aloft.
02
All platforms
iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and the standalone iPad EFB layout. Same account on every device.
03

Common questions

FAQ

Is this really free forever?

Yes. As long as you're an active CFI or affiliated with a qualifying school, your Pro access doesn't expire. If we ever change the program, anyone already enrolled keeps their access at the price they signed up at — which for you is $0.

What if I'm a student pilot at a Part 141 school?

You're covered too. Your school just needs to enroll, and you'll get an invite. Ask your chief instructor or DOO to email us.

What about retired or inactive CFIs?

If you held a valid CFI certificate at any point, reach out — we'll usually keep you on as alumni. The program is for the community, not just the currently-current.

Do you sell or share any of my data?

No. Same privacy policy as every Weather.Co user. We don't sell location data, route data, or anything else. CFI status is verified by us and is not shared with third parties.

Why are you doing this?

Because Weather.Co was made by a pilot for pilots, and CFIs were the people who taught me to fly safely. Subsidising the people who train the next generation feels like the right thing to do — and it's a tiny percentage of users for a meaningful amount of goodwill.
