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. Start improving. EULA https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

FlightKit is the pilot's toolbox — plan, fly, and stay current, with checkride prep built in. One app instead of five, for pilots at every stage: students, certificated pilots, and CFIs. WEATHER & CHARTS • Live METARs and TAFs with plain-English decoding • Interactive VFR sectionals and IFR enroute charts with color-coded station dots (VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR) and NEXRAD radar • Airport pages with runways, frequencies, and NOTAMs AI ROUTE PLANNER • Enter a departure and destination and get a complete VFR nav log — checkpoints, magnetic headings, groundspeed, and leg ETAs • Automatically routes around Class B and C airspace • Drag any waypoint on the sectional to fine-tune your route, and the nav log recalculates instantly PREFLIGHT & PERFORMANCE Set your home airport once and every tool auto-loads live weather and runway data: • Weight & Balance with aircraft-specific profiles • Takeoff & Landing performance with best-runway logic • Crosswind and density-altitude calculators, plus a full E6B SMART CHECKLISTS • Interactive checklists for every phase of flight — import them straight from your aircraft's POH with AI, or build your own • Auto-fill items pull live data right into the checklist: altimeter setting, wind, favored runway, crosswind, and radio frequencies fill themselves from real-time METARs and airport data • Hands-free voice mode reads each item aloud and advances when you answer — eyes outside, hands on the airplane GO / NO-GO • Weather and risk assessment against your own personal minimums, for safer fly/no-fly decisions LOGBOOK & CURRENCY • Log flights and track hours and training milestones • Currency tracking for flight review, day and night landings, and instrument experience STUDY & CHECKRIDE PREP • Ground school across 11 ACS areas of operation with examiner tips and real-world scenarios • Practice tests and spaced-repetition flashcards tailored to your aircraft • AI Examiner — a DPE-style mock oral that asks, listens, and grades you against the ACS ASK FLIGHTKIT • Your aviation expert on call — weather, regulations, performance, systems, and procedures, grounded in your aircraft's POH TUNED TO YOUR AIRCRAFT Add your aircraft by tail number and FlightKit tailors V-speeds, weight & balance, performance, flashcards, and AI answers to your specific plane. Built-in POH data for a growing list of common training and GA types from Piper, Cessna, Diamond, Beechcraft, and more. IMPORTANT FlightKit is a reference and training aid. It does not replace official FAA publications, your Pilot's Operating Handbook, or instruction from a certificated flight instructor. Always verify critical information against official sources. SUBSCRIPTIONS FlightKit is free to download, and weather, airports, charts, and study reading stay free. Optional auto-renewing subscriptions (Pilot and Pro, billed monthly or annually) unlock the full toolbox. Current prices are shown in the app before you purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel your subscription in your device Settings after purchase. Terms of Use (EULA): https://flightkit.ai/terms Privacy Policy: https://flightkit.ai/privacy
