Never fly alone, even when you're solo. AviNet is the community built for private pilots, student pilots and aviation enthusiasts who want more from their flying than a line in a logbook. Debrief every flight. Capture your thoughts and lessons while they're still fresh, not lost to a logbook line and a fading memory. Watch your flights become a record you'll actually want to look back on, and one you can be proud to share. Find your people, wherever you fly. Search any airfield or destination worldwide to connect with pilots who get it. Follow their flights, learn from their experience, and share your own to help the next pilot coming up behind you. All your flight data, finally together. AviNet is one of the only platforms in the world that brings your flight tracks, photos, debriefs and stats into one place. Import directly from FlightRadar24, SkyDemon or ForeFlight, or use our AviNet Web Uploader. We officially integrate with the OnFlight Hub data logger from Bolder Flight Systems, and support .kml, .gpx and .igc files too. Built by pilots, for pilots. We'd love your feedback on how to make it better.
