About

Drone Pilot ADS-B gives you real-time airspace awareness on your iPhone or iPad — purpose-built for drone pilots and Part 107 operators. The app is free. Maps, TFRs, LAANC grids, weather radar, wind, obstacles, power lines and pipelines all work with no receiver, no subscription and no account. Live ADS-B traffic is the one feature that needs hardware. A pilotADSB receiver includes a free 1-year license and activates itself the first time you connect. A DIY or third-party receiver that broadcasts standard GDL90 traffic data will also connect, with a subscription. This app is not an internet flight tracker; live traffic comes from a receiver, not the internet. Connects via Bluetooth or WiFi. (Position can come from the ADSB GPS or your device's GPS — your choice.) LIVE ADS-B TRAFFIC See nearby manned aircraft in real time. Know who is sharing your airspace before and during every flight. TFR ALERTS Current Temporary Flight Restrictions loaded automatically. Flying in an active TFR is a federal violation — stay informed. LAANC ZONE AWARENESS See LAANC authorization grids overlaid on the map. Know instantly whether your flight location falls within a LAANC zone and what altitude limits apply. Use AirData UAV or another certified app for actual LAANC authorization. WEATHER RADAR Live weather radar overlay so you can see approaching weather before and during your flight. WIREWATCH™ High-voltage power lines displayed on your map. Know where the wires are before you fly near them. PIPEWATCH™ Natural gas pipeline routes overlaid on your map — critical awareness for low-altitude operations. TOWERS & OBSTACLES FAA obstacle database on the map — towers, cranes, antennas, and water towers all visible at a glance. AUDIO CALLOUTS Spoken traffic alerts so you can keep your eyes on your drone, not your screen. FLIGHT RECORDING & PLAYBACK Record your ADS-B session with synchronized audio and play it back for debrief or documentation. THRESHOLDGUARD™ RULES Set custom altitude and distance rules that trigger automatic audio warnings — your personal airspace rulebook. PRICING The app is free. A license is only needed to connect an ADS-B receiver. A pilotADSB receiver from pilotadsb.com includes a free 1-year license. It activates automatically the first time you connect — nothing to enter. For a DIY or third-party GDL90 receiver, a subscription unlocks live traffic: $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year. Subscriptions renew until cancelled and can be managed or cancelled any time in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. ADS-B receivers available at pilotadsb.com.

What's New in Drone Pilot ADS

2.1.77

October 31, 2026

NEW: Boundary Watch Premises Round-the-clock drone watch for a fixed site. Draw your boundary from a KML file, turn it on, and your team is alerted when a drone enters - by push, text or email, with map links to the drone and its pilot. Friendly drones can be matched so your own aircraft do not raise an alert. Premises runs on the receiver itself, so it keeps watching whether or not anyone has the app open. If the site's internet drops, the receiver holds alerts and sends them when it comes back, and the emails show when each one happened. If the receiver loses power or restarts while holding them, those alerts are lost. Turning on Premises switches the receiver's regular Live Feed off. BOUNDARY WATCH The Security Module is now called Boundary Watch. Your license, status and setup live in Settings under Account & License, and a question mark on each screen opens the help for it. FIXED - Premises Setup now offers Simplify KML directly when a boundary has more than 5,000 points, instead of sending you to Event Setup. - The share sheet now opens on iPad. Sharing a link, an invite or a recording did nothing on iPad because the sheet had no anchor to appear from. - Cancel now works while the app is finding WiFi networks. - Altitude callouts and the on-screen box now round the same way.
