About

Surface Ops is a free situational-awareness tool for anyone interested in airport surface operations — pilots, students, ramp staff, plane spotters, and the general public — with optional licensed features for professional airport ground-operations teams. Free for everyone, at every US airport: • Airport diagrams (runways, taxiways, aprons, hotspots) • GPS-based ownship position on the airport surface • METAR, TAF, and D-ATIS weather • Live ADS-B traffic from a uAvionix skyAlert receiver (a separately-purchased consumer accessory) • Runway-incursion alerts: CHECK RUNWAY, TRAFFIC RUNWAY, CHECK FINAL, TRAFFIC FINAL and Aircraft Emergency Alerts • Visual highlighting of the runway under alert • Offline operation once an airport diagram is cached (weather requires internet) Optional licensed feature, at participating airports: Airports that contract with uAvionix for the professional toolset can issue a one-time activation code to their authorized vehicle operators, which adds the FlightLine ADS-B network traffic feed from the airport's ground-based receivers, no per-vehicle hardware required. No in-app purchase. The app and all consumer-facing features are free. Licensed airports pay uAvionix directly; the end-user operator never pays anything inside the app. What Surface Ops is NOT: • Not a certified safety system • Not a substitute for ATC instructions or established ground-movement procedures • Not a primary means of collision avoidance — visual scanning and radio communication remain primary Privacy Surface Ops collects only what's needed to operate: your activation code, a per-device licensing identifier, and—with your permission—your GPS location to display your position on the airport map. Location data stays on the device; we do not transmit it to our servers. No analytics, no advertising SDKs, no tracking.

What's New in SurfaceOps by uAvionix

1.1.0

July 31, 2026

This update adds richer weather and new safety-awareness features: • Weather — a detailed weather view powered by Apple WeatherKit: current conditions, next‑hour precipitation, hourly and daily forecasts, and active weather alerts. Switch to the aviation METAR/TAF view anytime, and glance at conditions from the map. • Emergency squawk alerts — a visual and audible alert when an aircraft transmits an emergency transponder code (7700/7600/7500), with that aircraft highlighted in red on the map. • Track history — tap any target to see its recent track. • Runway alert refinements — fewer nuisance alerts for departing aircraft that have climbed out. Plus various map and display refinements.
