Dronetag brings an all-in-one solution for safe drone flights that allows you to comply with the new European regulations, manage your fleet and stay informed about your current flights. Our vision is to provide drones with safe access to the airspace and to prevent their accidents. We manufacture a hardware device Dronetag Mini designed as an add-on that can be mounted to any drone. Mini ensures that your drone is visible for all air traffic participants. It is no larger than half of your favorite müsli bar, weighs 30 grams, and stays charged for up to 8 hours. The device may be combined with our app to unlock new possibilities for your flights. The combination of the Dronetag Mini device and app offers the following: - Local and network remote identification in compliance with the European regulations. - Add and manage an unlimited number of unmanned aircraft. - View restricted zones such as airports within the whole EU. - Plan your flight, including the time and altitude. - Track your current flight on the map and receive notifications. - Keep and export a flight journal for all your drones. - See other airspace participants with Dronetag devices installed. - Search full-text: Locations, restricted zones, aircraft, and Dronetag devices.

Most TFR violations aren't defiance. They're pilots who simply didn't know. Temporary Flight Restrictions appear with little warning — wildfires, VIP movements, sporting events, security operations — and checking for them means remembering to go and look. TFR Browser removes that step. Choose the states you fly in, and you'll be notified when a new restriction is published there. WHAT IT DOES - Alerts you when a new TFR is published in your selected states - Checks the FAA's public TFR feed every 15 minutes - Includes nationwide restrictions regardless of which states you pick - Shows the affected airspace on a map, drawn from the FAA's published boundary - Gives you effective times, altitude limits, the governing regulation, and who to contact - Links straight to the official FAA record for any restriction - Share a TFR with another pilot in a couple of taps BUILT FOR HOW DRONE PILOTS ACTUALLY FLY Most airspace tools alert you when a flight you've planned conflicts with a restriction. That doesn't help if you fly opportunistically and never file anything. TFR Browser watches for new restrictions being published, whether or not you've planned a flight. FREE, WITH NO ACCOUNTS AND NO TRACKING No sign-up, no subscription, no advertising, no analytics. The app never asks for your location. IMPORTANT TFR Browser is an independent app. It is not produced, endorsed, or verified by the FAA. It is advisory only and is not a substitute for an official preflight check. Alerts may be delayed or missed, and receiving no notification does not confirm that no restriction applies to your flight. Always verify at tfr.faa.gov before you fly. Compliance with all airspace restrictions remains the pilot's responsibility.
