You just burned an hour of Hobbs time. Can you say exactly what happened up there, or only how it felt? FlytWERX records the flight, breaks it into maneuvers, and shows you what to fix. No more debriefs built on memory. START FREE. 15 MINUTES A DAY, EVERY DAY. Demo mode gives you 15 minutes of flight capture per day at no cost. No credit card. Fly a pattern, run a real debrief, and decide for yourself. Then unlock everything with a free trial, or own it outright for a one-time $199, less than a single hour of dual. WHY THIS MATTERS Every hour you fly costs real money. Every maneuver you repeat because "it felt off" costs it again. And most of that money gets lost in the same place: nobody can remember the flight well enough to actually fix it. You roll out of the steep turn. You think you held altitude. Your CFI thinks you climbed 150 feet. Neither of you knows. FlytWERX knows. CONNECT YOUR FLIGHT DATA Capture telemetry from Stratus, iPhone, iPad, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Prepar3D, or X-Plane. Altitude, heading, groundspeed, vertical speed, pitch, bank, course, and position, all recorded as it actually happened. YOUR CFI CAN CONNECT LIVE Sitting right seat, or a thousand miles away. Your instructor links into the session from the cockpit, or remotely while you fly the sim. Real instruction on a home simulator, without anyone burning avgas to get there. WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL Built for the cockpit. Capture the entire flight with no internet and no cell service. Review it after shutdown. MANEUVER BY MANEUVER Takeoffs. Landings. Stalls. Steep turns. Slow flight. Ground reference maneuvers. Approaches. Each one broken out on its own, so you can see exactly where it came apart, and exactly where it didn't. SEE WHERE YOU WERE OUTSIDE TOLERANCE Clear, maneuver-level feedback on your deviations. Not a vague "watch your altitude." The actual moment. The actual number. FLY IT AGAIN IN 3D Watch your flight path from outside the airplane. The turn you thought was flat rarely is. AI PERFORMANCE INSIGHTS A plain-language read on every flight: what you did well, what slipped, and what to focus on next time. Show up to the next lesson with a plan instead of a hope. DEBRIEF IN MINUTES, NOT HALF THE HOUR Stop spending the first ten minutes of every debrief reconstructing the flight from memory. Open the data and go straight to the corrections. PRACTICE IN THE SIM. TAKE IT TO THE AIRPLANE. Run the same maneuvers in Microsoft Flight Simulator, Prepar3D, or X-Plane, tracked the same way and reviewed the same way. Build the habit on the ground for a fraction of the cost, then take it up. SHARE THE SAME PICTURE Send flight results to your CFI so you are both looking at the same data instead of trading impressions. Less debate about what happened. More time on what to do about it. FOR CFIs Faster debriefs, better retention, and a clear record of where every student actually stands. Fly with students in the airplane, or coach them through sim sessions from anywhere. FOR FLIGHT SCHOOLS Consistency across instructors and real visibility into student progress. WHAT IT COSTS Free: 15 minutes of capture every day. Free trial: everything unlocked. Then subscribe, or pay $199 once and own it. For the price of one lesson you didn't have to re-fly, you own the thing that keeps you from re-flying the next four. Download FlytWERX. Stop guessing.
