Read full descriptionHide full description
The FlyOn Pilot app is a flight planning and navigation app for Hot Air balloon pilots. It includes target guidance, drawing lines and geometries, adding map overlays and supports a wide range of map formats including kml, aip, geojson, tile maps and more. UTM formats are supported in both 4/4 and 6/7 formats for competition use. While the features may be super useful, the app is not a substitute for legally required flight planning and aviation instruments.
