Fly by Night: Traffic Patterns

Fly by Night gives you the heading for every leg of the traffic pattern at any US airport, so you can stop doing the math and just fly the plane. Built by a student pilot for student pilots, and for any pilot arriving at an unfamiliar field who wants to know easily know the right headings before they get there. THE PATTERN AT A GLANCE • Crosswind, downwind, base and final headings for any runway, left or right traffic • A compass card that follows your heading and calls out each leg in orange • Haptic ticks that build as you roll toward a leg and land as you reach it • Pick a runway, or drag the final callout to set any heading by hand ARRIVE AT PATTERN ALTITUDE • Distance to the field in nautical miles • Pattern altitude: the FAA-published TPA, or 1,000 ft above the field (marked STD) • Target vertical speed to be level at pattern altitude 3 NM before the field, signed the way your VSI reads • Your GPS altitude EVERY US AIRPORT, OFFLINE • 12,000+ US airports and every runway end, built in from FAA data • Nearest fields first, or search by identifier or name • Published left or right traffic applied as soon as you pick a runway • No account or internet connection required MADE FOR THE COCKPIT • Big, high-contrast numbers you can read at a glance • Night mode for a dark cockpit, day mode for full sun. Tap with three fingers to switch • Screen stays on while the app is open APPLE WATCH • Standalone app with its own compass, GPS and airport data, so the phone can stay in your bag • Field and runway stay in sync between iPhone and watch • Complications put pattern headings and altitude on your watch face • A G meter that keeps your peak positive and negative load PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your location is used on your device only. Nothing leaves your phone. NOTICE Fly by Night is a training aid for building pattern instincts. It is not a certified aviation instrument, and it is never a substitute for looking outside, ATC instructions, the Chart Supplement or your own judgment. Always confirm pattern altitude and traffic direction against current official sources. Always verify your true heading.
