SkyTrackPro
Track and plan flights
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Goal lines on Flight Radar with new corner metrics, tighter Task Radar layout with direction chevrons, a new Terrain map style and faster task study gestures.
SkyTrackPro is a simple, reliable companion for pilots — whether you fly high-level competitions, long XC routes, or just for fun on the weekends.
Our goal is not to overwhelm you with gimmicks. Instead, SkyTrackPro focuses on the basics that matter: accurate tracking, clear flight information, and tools that help you improve over time.
What SkyTrackPro helps you do
• Record flights with precise GPS logging
• See live navigation information during flight
• Advanced XC Guide
• Load and follow competition tasks
• Review flight paths and performance afterwards
• Keep everything organized in one place
SkyTrackPro is designed to work offline, uses efficient battery logic, and keeps your data lightweight — so you can focus on flying, not on managing an app.
For every kind of pilot
SkyTrackPro is built for:
• Competition pilots
• XC explorers
• Club pilots
• Recreational flyers
