What is ZeroTurb?

ZeroTurb is an aviation-focused software platform that provides real-time flight turbulence forecasts for passengers and pilots. ZeroTurb is not related to water filtration, chemistry, or industrial products with similar names.

Turbulence Forecasts for Your Route Powered by AI

ZeroTurb combines real-time data - from pilot reports to atmospheric layers - into a turbulence forecast for your route.

Our proprietary ZeroTurb Index (ZTI) combines Richardson Number stability analysis, wind shear detection, and temperature gradient mapping to estimate turbulence along your route. ZTI is calibrated against real pilot reports (PIREPs) and expressed on a passenger-focused 0-10 scale.

Real-Time Data

Based on pilot reports (PIREPs) and current weather conditions from NOAA.

Confidence Score

See how confident we are in the forecast based on available data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about predicting your flight

Our forecasts combine real-time NOAA weather data, satellite imagery, and live pilot reports (PIREPs). We update our models every 6 hours, and our ZeroTurb Index (ZTI) is calibrated against actual pilot reports. Like all weather forecasts, ours carry uncertainty - they are most useful for flights within 24 hours, and conditions can still change.

Yes! ZeroTurb covers global airspace. Whether you're flying from New York to London, Tokyo to Sydney, or any route in between, our atmospheric models provide worldwide coverage. We analyze jet streams, mountain waves, and convective activity across all continents.

We recommend checking your forecast before takeoff and taking a screenshot of your turbulence timeline. However, if you have inflight WiFi, you can view live updates and check the turbulence map in real-time throughout your flight.

Turbulence feels uncomfortable but is rarely dangerous to modern aircraft. Planes are designed to handle forces far greater than even severe turbulence. The main risk is to unbuckled passengers, which is why keeping your seatbelt fastened is important. Our forecasts help you know what to expect before you board.

PIREPs (Pilot Reports) are real-time reports filed by pilots during flight, describing actual conditions they encounter including turbulence intensity, icing, and visibility. They're the most reliable source of current turbulence data because they come from aircraft actually flying your route. We integrate thousands of PIREPs daily into our forecasts.

You can check forecasts for today or tomorrow. We recommend checking 24 hours before your flight, and again a few hours before departure. Atmospheric conditions can change, so checking closer to departure gives you the most up-to-date picture.

Yes! When viewing your flight forecast, you can sign up for turbulence alerts. We'll email you if the forecast changes significantly before your departure. This way, you'll always have the latest information without needing to check back manually.
