BoardPass turns your phone into a clean live airport board, with the extra context airport screens do not show: TSA waits, METAR weather, FAA delays, route search, inbound aircraft intelligence, gates, terminals, and watchlists. Built for travelers who need fast answers, BoardPass helps you check departures and arrivals, pick someone up, monitor a connection, or keep an eye on the flight that matters. LIVE AIRPORT BOARDS See real-time departures and arrivals for airports worldwide. View flight numbers, airlines, destination cities, scheduled times, gates, terminals, and status in a clear board-style layout made for quick scanning. FLIGHT DETAIL INTELLIGENCE Tap any flight for the full picture: gate assignments, terminal details, baggage claim belts, aircraft information, and inbound aircraft context so you can spot delay risk before it becomes obvious. TSA WAIT TIMES Check security wait estimates before heading to the airport. BoardPass surfaces TSA checkpoint information where available so you can plan your arrival with less guesswork. METAR WEATHER See current aviation weather at a glance, including temperature, wind, visibility, and flight category from NOAA Aviation Weather Center METAR data. FAA DELAY ALERTS Get visibility into FAA ground delays, ground stops, and airspace flow programs affecting your airport. ROUTE SEARCH Search city-pair routes to see flights operating between two airports. Save frequent routes for one-tap access when you check the same travel corridor often. WATCHLIST Add flights to your watchlist for quick status checks without searching again. It is built for the flights you are flying, meeting, tracking, or watching from home. TRACKER LINKS Open flights directly in FlightAware or FlightRadar24 when you want full radar and map tracking.

RampMeet

RampMeet is a privacy-first way for pilots to connect locally — around the airports they fly from and the aircraft they fly. Aviation is social on the ground, but there's no simple, private way to find the pilots at your home field or others flying your same make and model. RampMeet fixes that. Set your home airport, add your aircraft, and you're instantly connected to the people who share them. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Join your home airport circle — a local hub for the pilots at your field. • Connect by aircraft type — find owners flying your make and model, with a range map to pull in nearby airports (helicopters included). • Coordinate fly-outs and events — plan group trips and $100-hamburger runs, and RSVP so hosts know who's coming. • Share event photos — a private album for the pilots who were there. • Print a flyer — post a QR code at your FBO so pilots can join your circle or RSVP to an event. • Offer or find a ride — match up for trips and shared flights. • Message privately — in-app direct messages, no phone number required. • Get local know-how — airport info and trusted recommendations from pilots who actually fly there. PRIVACY FIRST — AND IT'S NOT SOCIAL MEDIA RampMeet is built to solve a pilot problem in under a minute, not to capture your attention. • Your email is never shown to anyone. • We don't collect your phone number. • No public feed, no likes, no followers, and no public member directory. • Your profile is visible only to members of circles you join. BUILT FOR PILOTS Whether you fly a Cessna, a Cirrus, a warbird, or a helicopter, RampMeet helps you meet the people who share your airport and your aircraft — and turn solo flying into a community. RampMeet is made by SnickityBit Solutions LLC. Questions or feedback? There's a Send Feedback button right in the app (Profile → Help), or email support@snickitybit.com.
