Go/No-Go Home is the front door for every briefing. Pilots never have to pick a form: type a tail number or choose a briefing card, and the right request form opens. Everything a pilot checks before starting a briefing — the time in Zulu, the current weather at a field, the aircraft and its base — is on this one page.
Go/No-Go Home.
The page is laid out top to bottom in the order you use it:
Menu bar — templates, history, pricing, customize, support and account.
Clocks, Zulu reference and Weather quick look.
Start by tail number and Home base / airport.
Start a briefing — one card per kind of aircraft.
In progress and Recent reports.
1. The menu bar
The Go/No-Go menu bar.
Templates — Opens My Go/No-Go Templates — create, edit, rename and delete saved request templates. See Saved templates.
History — Every briefing you've requested, newest first, with one-click view, print and kneeboard card.
Pricing — Report prices, the Critical Briefing Package and organization plans.
Customize — Show or hide briefing cards (see section 4). Hidden cards come back from here.
Support — Support tickets, the Help Wiki and the downloadable user guides, including this Go/No-Go guide.
Dashboard — Shown to logbook users only — returns to your pilot, instructor or organization dashboard.
Sign out — Ends your session.
Go/No-Go works for three kinds of visitors, and the page adapts to each:
Logbook users — pilots, instructors and organizations who also keep records in Log Scan Pro. The report can read their aircraft, experience and recency.
Go/No-Go only accounts — registered with a name and email, used purely for briefings. Templates, history and their home base are saved.
Single-report guests — buy one briefing with no account. Nothing is saved for them, so templates and history don't apply.
2. Clocks, Zulu reference and Weather quick look
Clocks, Zulu reference and Weather quick look.
Zulu and local clocks
Two live clocks sit side by side: Zulu (UTC) and local time with its zone abbreviation (for example EDT). Weather products, notices and report times are all in Zulu; the clocks let you check the conversion at a glance.
Zulu reference
The Zulu reference button opens a quick-reference card for U.S. time zones:
A DST on / DST off switch. It opens on the right setting for today's date; flip it to check a date on the other side of a clock change.
Six zones west to east — Hawaii, Alaska, Pacific, Mountain, Central and Eastern — each with its UTC offset and abbreviation, a "Z = local + X h" rule and that zone's current local time.
A short gotchas list: Arizona stays on UTC−7 all year (it matches Pacific in summer, Mountain in winter), Hawaii stays on UTC−10, Zulu itself never changes, and an evening local departure can fall on the next Zulu date.
The same button appears on the Instructor and Organization pages.
Weather quick look
A snapshot of the current METAR only at one airport — no forecasts, pilot reports or airspace — for a fast look before you start a briefing.
Type a station (for example KBGR) and press Get METAR. Three-letter U.S. identifiers have the K added for you.
The result shows the flight category badge (VFR, MVFR, IFR, LIFR), station name, the age of the observation, wind, visibility and sky, temperature / dewpoint, altimeter, and the raw METAR line underneath.
Pin a station to keep it as a one-click button (up to 8). Pinned buttons are remembered on this device.
Refresh re-reads the latest observation.
It opens on your home base / airport when one is set.
Weather quick look (the arrow beside it) folds the whole block away; the page remembers whether you left it open.
The quick look is a convenience. The briefing itself retrieves weather on its own, along the whole route and for your flight times.
3. Start by tail number and Home base / airport
Start by tail number and Home base / airport.
Start by tail number
Type or pick an N-number. Log Scan Pro reads the FAA registry, works out what the aircraft is — airplane, helicopter, seaplane, glider or balloon — and opens the matching request form with the aircraft filled in. This is the fastest way in, and it means you never choose the wrong form.
Home base / airport
Where the aircraft is based: an airport, a hospital pad, a seaplane base, a staging field or a private strip. New briefings start with this as the departure, and the Weather quick look opens on it. Search by identifier or name; the full name shows across the width of the box. Choose the clear option to remove it.
4. Start a briefing — the cards
The briefing cards.
One card for each kind of flying. Each card names what that briefing adds; click it to open the request form for that aircraft type.
— 90Airplane Fixed-wing VFR or IFR, airport to airport, optional waypoints. Includes fixed-wing air ambulance. Building the request · Air ambulance
— 90Rotorcraft Helicopters and gyroplanes — low-level routes, area work, remote sites, offshore platforms, EMS. Helicopter and offshore
— 90Seaplane / Amphibian Wind and waves on the water, glassy water, water temperature, gear callouts, egress brief. Seaplane and amphibian
— 90Glider Soaring window, thermal tops and climb, overdevelopment, landouts within glide. Always VFR. Glider
— 90Balloon Launch and landing wind, steering layers, drift track, dawn fog, chase crew. Always VFR. Balloon
Hiding cards. Most operators fly one or two kinds of aircraft. The small eye button in each card's corner hides it. To bring a card back, open Customize in the menu bar and turn it on again. Hidden cards are remembered on this device.
5. In progress and Recent reports
In progress — briefings still being built, and scheduled briefings from a Critical Briefing Package that haven't run yet. "Nothing in progress right now" when the list is empty.
Recent reports — your latest briefings with verdict, route and date. Open one to read it, print it, or produce the kneeboard card and passenger brief. All reports opens the full history.
Organization logo on the kneeboard card
When you fly under an organization that has uploaded a logo in its profile, that logo prints in the top corner of the kneeboard card, so cards handed to crews and customers carry the operator's branding. Personal briefings print without one.
