What's New in PilotConnect

3.0

September 28, 2026

PilotConnect 3.0 — the full EFB is here!! The chart is on your yoke. Traffic is on the screen. Your glide range is drawn under you, your next runway already has the crosswind worked out, and every closed taxiway is one tap away. This is the biggest update we have ever shipped — built with real pilots, flown for real, and made to earn a spot on your kneeboard. FLY • Sectional charts that are fast, sharp and offline-ready — TFRs, weather radar, pilot reports and terrain as layers you choose. • Live traffic from your ADS-B receiver: Stratux, Stratus (Open ADS-B mode), SkyEcho and other GDL 90 units. • Glide ring: where you can reach engine-out, from your altitude and the terrain below. • An instrument strip you set up yourself — press and hold any box to swap it. PLAN • Flight planner with fuel, winds, weight & balance, and a Go/No-Go light against your personal minimums. • Crosswind on every runway end, in every airport card. • Real FAA NOTAMs at every airport — closures first, in plain English, with the FAA's own words one tap away. • Airport diagrams with taxiway names, and a Flight Bag that packs charts, weather and airport data for offline use. LOG • Flight Recorder: every flight tracked automatically, split by leg, with replay. • My Aircraft: hours, oil and inspection reminders for your airplane. • Kneeboard: a scratch pad and VFR templates you can write on. ALSO • Redesigned home screen, airport cards and weather — hourly and daily, with the TAF when the field has one. • Full iPad support. • Three free AI weather briefs; unlimited with a subscription. • Providers: a new overview card with your pending requests and open hours. PilotConnect's flight tools are for situational awareness only and are not a substitute for certified navigation equipment or an official briefing.

Game Changer

This app is a game changer for the aviation industry. As a student pilot, this is something I’ve been looking for as I search for DPE’s and CFI’s in my area. All the extra features make this app a one-stop shop for all pilots. Super excited about the app’s future growth and potential.

Private Pilot

Obviously this app is new and is going to see a lot of growing pains but I can honestly say that the idea behind this is something that has been needed for a long time. Having the ability to find your own DPE or your own CFI and schedule them is amazing. The app is very well made and pretty user friendly. It offers a lot for not only the providers but also the student pilots as well as the private pilots. This app has great potential and my fingers are crossed that the developers continue grinding.
Kudos to the developers and good luck!!!

Great trajectory

This app has some serious potential and I can tell that it’s being built up. It fills a real gap in our industry. Lots of data points and information to check out. This has a lot to offer if you spend some time on it. As more providers find this app I think it can be super helpful in the future!

Misses many marks

1 - lacks providers. Requires payment thus very small marketplace

2 - cannot be a pilot and a provider when most providers are usually dual role (DPE, Pilot, Instructor or Pilot and A&P)

3 - Ai slop everywhere. Not against AI coding but this is clearly a canned AI project and it shows in the experience and random bugs.

4 - the fee/pricing is ridiculous for what you get.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We'd like to address each of your points directly, because several are based on information that isn't accurate. First, and most importantly: PilotConnect is completely free for your first 90 days, with no credit card, no charge, and no catch. This is stated throughout our advertising and inside the app itself. Because of that, points 1 and 4 simply don't hold up. There is no payment required to use the marketplace, and it's difficult to call three months of free access "ridiculous" pricing. On providers, you're right that our network is still growing. We launched one month ago, and that is exactly why access is free. Our service providers are the backbone of this app, and we'd rather build the network properly than rush it. We know a marketplace like this takes a year or more to mature, and we're committed to that work rather than pretending it happens overnight. On the dual-role point (CFI and pilot), this reflects a misunderstanding of how the app works. Every provider account automatically includes full pilot functionality. Every pilot feature is built in, and providers can still book with other providers if they choose. Choosing a role changes nothing functionally besides service offering capabilites; other than that it only affects the status label others see. Had this been raised as a suggestion, we'd have genuinely thanked you and brought it to our team as a possible enhancement, and we may still do exactly that. Finally, our platform represents seven months of intensive, full-time development, and we take pride in it. We've had minimal bugs, and every bug brought to our attention has been fixed within 24 hours. For a one-month-old app built by a small, dedicated team, this review felt harsher than the effort deserved. Our door is open if you'd ever like to give it a real look. One last note: PilotConnect was built by two US-based, actively flying pilots. It was never outsourced to an overseas development shop. This app was built by pilots, for pilots, and that principle is at the heart of everything we do. -PilotConnect Team

Everything a pilot could want

This app is absolutely amazing. As a student pilot myself, I’ve been looking for a better way to connect with DPEs & CFIs. The interactive map feature is so convenient to use. And I love the forums!!! This app is truly everything a pilot could ever want on one singular platform.
