WX Score History

Paid

After 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 PAVE 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 Settings → Score 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 PAVE GO. An X is NO-GO. Clock hands are POSTPONE. A triangle is MODIFY. A plain dot means no PAVE was recorded.
  • A faint line between two dots on the same date is a VFR/IFR twin pair for the same flight.

A 0% score and a GO

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. PAVE is where you record that decision.

If you chose GO after PAVE, the chart treats that as the intended pattern, not a miss. More on the number itself: WX Score explained.

PAVE 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 PAVE, the panel says so — it does not ask you to backfill an assessment after the flight.

How PAVE works: PAVE Risk Assessment.

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 no-go. That is not the same as a missing PAVE, which is the separate line “No PAVE recorded” on a plain dot. Open the briefing from the point to mark the trip flown.
