Could you build this?

Partial The weather, wind, and map UI can be built from public APIs. Accurate GNSS visibility and especially airspace restriction data require specialized, often licensed, aviation datasets and expertise.

What it would actually take: Build a mobile app on Flutter or React Native that pulls forecasts from weather APIs (e.g., Open-Meteo or NOAA), Kp index from NOAA SWPC, and satellite visibility from GNSS ephemeris data. Airspace restrictions need FAA/EU UAS geozone data or a vendor such as Aloft or AirMap. The hard parts are keeping airspace data current and legally accurate and computing altitude-level wind profiles, which requires meteorology knowledge.
