Flight Chop

Passenger focused platform helping travelers understand turbulence and other conditions that may impact their flight

Flight Chop helps air travelers understand what to expect during their flight by visualizing turbulence-related advisories and pilot reports. Built with Next.js 16, React 19, and Supabase, the platform presents aviation data in an accessible, map-based interface designed for passengers.

Flight Chop analyzes SIGMETs, G-AIRMETs, Center Weather Advisories, and pilot reports (PIREPs) to provide insights about turbulence, icing, and convective activity along flight routes. Features flight path scoring with detailed breakdowns that translate aviation advisories into understandable assessments of potential flight conditions.

Includes a statistics dashboard with interactive charts showing turbulence trends and historical patterns. Integrates an ICAO aircraft database to provide context for pilot reports. Built as a Progressive Web App with offline support, dark/light themes, and interactive map visualizations using Mapbox and Deck.gl.

Tech: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Supabase, Mapbox, Zustand, TanStack Query, Recharts, Deck.gl, Serwist
