Briefed Fuel Stops
Pro PlusYour fuel stops get NOTAM-screened, so a closed runway — or an outage of the fuel you actually burn — rules a stop out before you plan around it.
This is a screen, not a full stop briefing
PlaneWX does not yet generate a WX Score, icing, or turbulence briefing for each suggested stop. What shipped is the highest-leverage piece: NOTAMs that make a field unusable for fueling. Ceiling and visibility still come from the existing Fuel Advisor weather chips — those do not remove a stop on their own.
What gets ruled out
On every Fuel Advisor search, Pro Plus runs the same NOTAM classifier used on trip briefings against each candidate, plus origin, destination, and planned enroute stops:
- DisqualifiedClosed runway or airport, or the fuel you burn is unavailable (100LL vs Jet-A — a Jet-A-only outage does not kill a 100LL stop).
- CautionLesser NOTAMs that should change how you treat the field, but do not make it unusable.
- ClearChecked, nothing that blocks fueling in the arrival window.
- UnverifiedNOTAM data was unavailable. That is not the same as clear — verify before you commit.
Disqualified stops stay in the list, struck through, with the reason. They are never silently omitted, and they are never auto-picked as the recommended stop.
Where you see it
Inside the Fuel Advisor. Casual and Pro keep the wind-and-weather planner unchanged — no NOTAM screen, no struck-through cards.
What it is not (yet)
- FICON / runway-condition codes
- Airport hours (a field that is closed when you arrive)
- A departure-side re-check after the turn
- A full WX Score or narrative for the stop, comparable to the trip briefing
Those are later units. The name on the pricing page is the product layer; this page describes what actually ships today so you do not plan as if the stop already had a briefing.
Advisory only. A clear screen is not a go. Cross-check NOTAMs yourself before you file the stop, and you stay PIC.
