PILOT3D PUBLIC BETA

See the airspace before you fly into it.

Pilot3D draws the airspace around you as solid 3-D shapes over real terrain, warns you before you bust a shelf, and shows which way to turn. It runs in your browser and works offline.

TRY THE SIMULATOR

Free with a free account — sign in with Google, no card. The simulator and live GPS flight are both included.

Airspace as it actually is

Class B shelves, Class C rings, Class D, restricted and TFR volumes drawn in 3-D over the terrain, with the VFR sectional or IFR low chart draped underneath.

Buffers you set, warnings you hear

A yellow buffer and a red buffer around your aircraft, in minutes ahead, miles beside and feet above and below. Chevrons on the compass and vertical tapes say which way to turn, climb or descend.

Traffic and terrain too

Internet ADS-B traffic with TCAS-style symbols and one-minute track vectors, terrain alerts, and an installable app that keeps working with no signal.

FREE FOREVER

Live GPS flight, the simulator, the tutorial, airspace alerts and guidance, internet ADS-B traffic, charts and terrain alerts.

Pro, $4.99/month or $49.99/year — connect a Stratux or Sentry receiver as your position source. 30-day free trial, no payment required to start.

PUBLIC BETA — HELP ME TEST IT Pilot3D is new and I want pilots to break it. Fly the simulator, or run it in GPS mode on your next flight as a secondary reference only. Anything wrong, confusing or missing: tap the speech-bubble button at the bottom right of the app. It opens an e-mail to me with your build and device already filled in, and I read every one.

I'm a commercial pilot and an engineer, and I built the airspace display I wished I had. It is free to try because the way to judge it is to fly it, and the simulator lets you do that on the ground in thirty seconds — a free account with Google, no card. Tell me what you'd change. — the pilot who built Pilot3D
