What's New in PilotConnect

1.28

July 20, 2026

Airport Ground Transportation: Airport cards now show how to get around when you land — rental car companies (clearly marked on-field vs. nearby), FBO courtesy & crew cars, and FBO details for thousands of GA airports. Tap to call, get directions, or open a booking link, and see each field's attended hours at a glance. Smarter Oil Tracking: Oil changes are now tracked by tach hours for real accuracy. My Aircraft shows "Oil Hours Left" up front, you can edit your exact oil time anytime from the new Oil Tracking menu, and you'll get a heads-up as you approach your next change. For Mechanics: A&P and LSRM: Set up your profile as an A&P mechanic or a Light Sport Repairman (LSRM) — including every category rating (Airplane, Glider, Powered Parachute, Weight-Shift, Lighter-Than-Air) — right during onboarding. Cleaner Field Briefings: The AI-summarized pilot notes on each airport are tidier and easier to scan. Plus performance improvements and bug fixes throughout. Thanks for flying with Pilot Connect!

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.
