GApilots turns your phone into a professional flight tracking and safety companion for gyroplane, microlight and general aviation pilots.
BACKGROUND FLIGHT TRACKING
Track every flight in real time, even when the app is minimized or the screen is off. High-precision GPS logs your position, speed, altitude and heading for the whole flight. Points are queued locally and automatically synced to the cloud, so tracking keeps working through patchy or lost signal and catches up the moment connectivity returns.
STAY SAFE - KEEP FAMILY IN THE LOOP
Safety is built into the core of the app:
- Automatic email and push notifications to the friends and family you choose the instant you take off and land
- "Last seen" alerts if no GPS update arrives within your chosen time window, so someone knows to check on you
- Stationary reminders that notify you if you forget to stop tracking after landing
- Choose public, private or invisible flight visibility, so you control exactly who can see you fly
- Anyone you invite can follow your flight live on an interactive map from any browser, no app needed
A COMPLETE IN-FLIGHT TOOLKIT
- Live 2D map of your flight path, plus full 3D flight path playback after landing
- Artificial horizon: a live attitude indicator driven by your phone's own motion sensors, showing pitch, roll and heading
- Flight timer with Hobbs meter tracking and a sunset countdown, so you always know your remaining daylight
- Live onboard camera streaming: connect any RTMP/SRT-capable camera or encoder, or our turn-key RPI Streamer hardware, so followers can watch your cockpit view and GPS position together, live
- Full Gyropedia integration: automatically start and stop your Gyropedia flight log as you fly, and upload Hobbs times straight from the app
- Aircraft profile management for quick switching between multiple registrations
- Cross-platform sync: your flights and settings are available on iOS, Android and the web
Whether you're a student pilot on your first solo or a seasoned aviator flying cross-country, Gyropilots keeps you tracked, keeps your loved ones informed, and puts everything you need for a safe flight right on your home screen.
Completely free to use, forever - no ads, no in-app purchases.
