About

Drone Pilot ADS-B shows you the manned aircraft sharing your airspace — in real time, on one map, before they ever become a problem. Connect a pilotADSB receiver over Bluetooth or WiFi and your screen fills with live traffic: altitude, speed, heading and distance for every ADS-B equipped aircraft in range. Not every aircraft transmits ADS-B Out, but the ones that do will never catch you off guard again. BUILT FOR DRONE PILOTS, NOT AIRLINERS Most traffic apps are repurposed from manned aviation software. This one was designed from the ground up around how remote pilots actually fly. LIVE ADS-B TRAFFIC 1090ES and 978 UAT. Position, altitude, speed and direction at a glance, with distance measured from you. ALERTS YOU WON'T LEARN TO IGNORE An alarm that goes off constantly becomes background noise. Customize your alert rules to match your environment — tighten them near a busy airport, relax them in open rural airspace. The right alert at the right moment is what keeps you safe. LAANC ZONES Color-coded LAANC authorization grids drawn directly on your map, so you know your altitude ceiling before you take off. LIVE TFRs Temporary flight restrictions displayed and alerted in real time. WEATHER RADAR Live precipitation overlay for go / no-go decisions. OBSTACLES Cell towers, transmission lines, water towers and pipelines — know what is in your flight path before you launch. BLUETOOTH OR WIFI Connect by Bluetooth and keep your phone on cellular for live maps and weather, or use WiFi for maximum throughput. iPHONE AND iPAD A single universal app, laid out for each screen. — REQUIRES A RECEIVER Drone Pilot ADS-B needs a pilotADSB receiver, or your own Raspberry Pi running our free firmware, to receive traffic. Map, LAANC, TFR, weather and obstacle features work without one. SUBSCRIPTION One-month free trial. A payment method is required to start it, and you are not charged during the trial. Cancel any time before it ends and you pay nothing. If you don't cancel, your subscription starts automatically at $9.99/month or $99.99/year. Buy a pilotADSB receiver and your first year is included — no subscription and no payment method required. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel in Settings. IMPORTANT — SUPPLEMENTAL AWARENESS ONLY Drone Pilot ADS-B is an aid. It does not replace your responsibility to maintain visual line of sight where required, to see and avoid manned aircraft, and to operate safely and lawfully at all times. Information may be delayed, incomplete or unavailable.

What's New in Drone Pilot ADS

2.0.185

September 5, 2026

Smoother first launch, and a clearer path to your receiver. • Already own a pilotADSB receiver? The welcome screen now has an "I have a receiver — connect now" button that takes you straight to connecting it. Your included first year unlocks automatically once it's connected. • Fixed: after subscribing on a fresh install, first-time setup could stop before it finished, leaving the app unconfigured. • Fixed: the subscribe screen could reappear on top of the App Store purchase sheet. • Purchases that are pending approval (for example, Ask to Buy) are now recognised while they wait, instead of being treated as no purchase. • Fixed: the app could report "no internet" while it was still checking. It now waits for a clear answer before saying so. • The status bar now shows how you're connected to your receiver, not just which device it found. • New in Receiver settings: "Forget Saved Network" clears the WiFi network your receiver has stored, so you can move it to a different one cleanly. • If your receiver hasn't been able to check in, your included licence now stays valid for 14 days instead of 7. • The aircraft-count and wind readouts, favourites button and compass now sit lower on the map, giving your traffic more room. The aircraft count is now a compact icon and number, with the session timer beside it.
