PilotSense
Pilot Fatigue Risk Management
About
This app provides pilots with a science-backed fatigue management system. It calculates a readiness score based on sleep, biometrics, and cognitive tests, offering integrated decision support for flights. It also includes safety tools like a BAC calculator and medication database.
What's New in PilotSense
1.4.0
May 14, 2026
What's New in PilotSense v1.4 This release rebuilds the foundations that drive your readiness score and mission predictions. Personal baseline adaptation: your readiness score now adapts to YOUR sleep history and PVT performance, modulating engine thresholds within bounded per-pilot corridors. Your score reflects your capacity, not just an average pilot's. Three-anchor predictive engine: mission fatigue prediction has been rebuilt. Predictions now anchor differently based on how close a leg is to mission start and check-in availability. Multi-leg missions get proper per-leg readiness with full traceability. Mission scheduling on iOS: admins can build and schedule multi-leg missions directly from iOS. Per-leg pilot assignment, REST-band override with audit trail, and full mission detail review. Decision-gate workflow: dispatchers see and acknowledge decision-gate states on the dashboard with three-option resolution (approved / denied / deferred) and persistent audit log. Logbook autofill: after your post-flight survey, tap once to autofill your logbook entry. Verify, adjust, save. Hardware-calibrated PVT: device timing is now calibrated per-iPad and per-iPhone, so a slower screen doesn't make you look fatigued. What's next: v1.4.1 will improve currency tracking visibility, fix forecast-mode confidence indicators, and surface medical/BFR status more clearly. Coming within 7-10 days.
MoreFAQ
How does PilotSense calculate a pilot's readiness score?
PilotSense calculates readiness by combining data from your sleep (duration, efficiency), psychomotor vigilance tests, Karolinska Sleepiness Scale self-assessments, circadian rhythm, and wearable biometrics. These factors are weighted according to validated aviation research frameworks.
What are the different readiness levels in PilotSense?
PilotSense uses a five-band system: SHARP (88–100) for peak alertness, READY (75–87) for good readiness, CAUTION (55–74) for flying with awareness, ELEVATED (35–54) to reconsider flying if possible, and REST (0–34) indicating do not fly.
Does PilotSense integrate with other health apps?
Yes, PilotSense integrates with Apple Health to import sleep data, including duration, efficiency, and fragmentation. This data is a key component in calculating your fatigue risk.
What safety tools are included in PilotSense?
PilotSense includes a BAC calculator based on the Widmark formula with an 8-hour bottle-to-throttle enforcement, access to the FAA Medication Database for impairment classifications, and a digital logbook with GPS auto-detection.
How does PilotSense handle privacy for pilots and organizations?
PilotSense employs a privacy-first approach. Pilots control data sharing tiers with their organization. Mental wellness screenings remain private between the pilot and the app, and raw sleep or self-report data is private unless explicitly opted into full sharing.
Is PilotSense a certified medical device?
No, PilotSense is a screening-grade decision-support tool. It is built on science and validated research frameworks but is not a certified FRMS or medical device.
How often is PilotSense updated?
The latest version of PilotSense is 1.4.0, which was last updated on May 14, 2026. This indicates a commitment to ongoing development and improvements.
What devices does PilotSense support?
PilotSense is available for iPhone and iPad devices. It is designed to run on these Apple platforms.
