WX Score History
PaidAfter a season of flying, the question isn't whether one briefing was right - it's whether you fly the scores you think you fly, and what you did with the low ones. Score History plots your archived WX Scores over time: VFR and IFR as two series, your FRAT decision on each point.
Idea from Wayne (@waynemcc)
Wayne, a PlaneWX mentor, plotted 54 completed flights to ask whether the scores were useful. The plot wasn't a scoreboard - it was a season of PIC decisions next to the weather picture. That's the feature.
Where to find it
Open My Flights, then Score History (or /flying?tab=history). The chart only includes past (archived) trips. Future trips stay on your trip list. Casual, Pro, Pro Plus, Enterprise, and admin.
How to read the plot
- Sky dots are VFR briefings. Cloud-grey dots are IFR briefings.
- The dashed lines at 50 and 75 are WX Score bands - not a fence you should not have flown below.
- A check on the dot is FRAT GO. An X is NO-GO. Clock hands are Postpone. A triangle is Modify. A plain dot means no FRAT was recorded.
- A faint line between two dots on the same date is a VFR/IFR twin pair for the same flight.
A 0% WX Score and choosing to fly
WX Score 0% is the weather picture against your minimums. It is not a command to stay on the ground. Many risks can be mitigated - file IFR, wait for a marine layer to burn off, change altitude. FRAT is where you record that decision.
If you recorded GO after FRAT at a low score, the chart shows both: the weather picture and the decision you recorded. It does not treat that as a miss. More on the number itself: WX Score explained.
FRAT on the chart
Click a dot to see the route, score, flown/cancelled state, and any TEAM mitigations you recorded (for example File IFR). If you never completed FRAT, the panel says so - it does not ask you to backfill an assessment after the flight.
How FRAT works: FRAT.
Flown, cancelled, outcome unknown
Default view is flights PlaneWX has as flown (ADS-B or you marked them). Cancelled is trips you archived yourself. Anything else past is Outcome unknown - not marked flown or cancelled, and not a weather hard stop. That is not the same as a missing FRAT, which is the separate line “No FRAT recorded” on a plain dot. Open the briefing from the point to mark the trip flown. NO-GO on the chart is the pilot's recorded call, not a weather outcome.

FRAT
FRAT (the form that records your PAVE risk assessment), TEAM mitigations, and GO / NO-GO / Postpone / Modify. You make the call as PIC.
