1. About AutoBrief
AutoBrief is a pre-flight decision-support tool operated by TarmacLabs. It layers on top of a flight school's existing scheduler to surface pilot currency, medical, endorsement, insurance, and aircraft-airworthiness information and to produce an advisory GO/NO-GO summary. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these Terms.
2. Advisory only — not a clearance, not an official briefing
AutoBrief is a decision-support tool. It does notreplace the pilot-in-command's authority and responsibility under 14 CFR § 91.3, and it is not an official weather briefing or an FAA-approved source. Every GO/NO-GO output is advisory. The pilot-in-command and, where applicable, the chief pilot remain solely responsible for the final determination to conduct or cancel any flight, and must verify all information against authoritative sources and obtain an official briefing (for example, 1800wxbrief.com / Leidos Flight Service) before each flight.
3. Eligibility & accounts
AutoBrief is offered to flight schools, operators, and the certificated personnel they authorize. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. You are responsible for the accuracy of the data you enter and for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. Notify us immediately at support@tarmaclabs.org if you suspect unauthorized access.
4. Operator responsibilities
AutoBrief is a record-keeping and decision-support tool. It is not a certified FAA system and does not replace your professional judgment or legal obligations. You are solely responsible for:
- The accuracy of all pilot, aircraft, currency, medical, insurance, and maintenance data you enter
- Compliance with all applicable FAA regulations (14 CFR Parts 61, 91, 141, and others)
- The final GO/NO-GO determination for every flight, made by the pilot-in-command and/or chief pilot
- Maintaining your own airworthiness, currency, and dispatch records independent of AutoBrief
- Reviewing and signing off on any override of an AutoBrief advisory result
TarmacLabs assumes no liability for operational, airworthiness, or regulatory decisions made using data displayed in AutoBrief.
