PilotBro is the ultimate cockpit copilot for pilots, student pilots, and aviation enthusiasts. Engineered for real-time situational awareness, PilotBro acts as a secondary visual aid with Radar like Inteface to help you scan for threat traffic, monitor flight statistics, and record your flight logs automatically. Simply connect your device to your Stratux, Sentry, or any GDL90-compatible ADS-B receiver, and fly with complete peace of mind. KEY FEATURES: LIVE ADS-B TRAFFIC RADAR & MAP: Visualize nearby aircraft transponder targets instantly. Spot relative positions, track vectors, and watch traffic moves in real time over a sweep radar display or dynamic offline map. PROXIMITY WARNINGS: Avoid traffic conflicts. PilotBro monitors altitude discrepancies and horizontal distance to alert you when an aircraft enters your customizable caution or warning rings. HIGHLY CUSTOMIZABLE THRESHOLDS: You are in control. Adjust safety distance (NM) and altitude separation (FT) limits to match your flying style and airspace. AUTOMATIC FLIGHT LOGGER (HEURISTIC CLASSIFIER): No manual entries required. PilotBro automatically detects takeoffs (when speed passes 35 knots) and landings, recording your coordinates, peak speed, altitude profile, and flight path details. SMART FILTERING (NO FALSE ALERTS): Onboarding filters out your own aircraft transponder signal by matching your unique Tail Number, preventing annoying own-ship proximity alerts. 100% PRIVATE & OFFLINE-READY: Built by pilots, for pilots. Your flight logs and locations never leave your device. We do not upload your data to serversβeverything is stored locally with standard JSON backup import/export features. COCKPIT FRIENDLY: Keep-awake display, high-contrast night-ready color palettes, and large, bold legibility fonts make it easy to read traffic alerts even in high-vibration conditions. REQUIREMENTS & DISCLAIMER: PilotBro requires connection to a GDL90-compatible ADS-B hardware receiver (e.g., Stratux) to display live traffic targets. PilotBro is an auxiliary situational awareness helper designed for pilot reference only. The Pilot in Command (PIC) retains sole responsibility for scanning for traffic, maintaining proper lookouts, and navigating safely. ---------------------------------------------- TERMS OF USE (EULA) & PRIVACY POLICY By downloading or using PilotBro, you agree to the standard Apple Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Our Privacy Policy can be reviewed here: https://pilotbroapp.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/PIlotBro_PrivacyPolicy.txt
