RampMeet

Features
Read full description

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.

OverheadView turns your iPhone into a live radar for the sky above you. See what is flying overhead in real time. Center the map on your location and watch nearby aircraft move across an interactive map, sourced from community ADS-B data. Tap any aircraft to see its callsign, altitude, speed, heading, and route when available. KEY FEATURES • Live aircraft radar — track nearby planes and helicopters in real time on an interactive map centered on your location. • Centered on you — the radar follows your location to surface the aircraft closest to you, wherever you are. • Flight details — tap any aircraft for its callsign, altitude, speed, heading, and route. • Flight search and follow — look up a specific flight and follow it with a predicted path. • Drone Remote ID — detect nearby drones broadcasting ASTM F3411 / OpenDroneID over Bluetooth, processed on your device (experimental). • Interactive map — pan and zoom a smooth, native Apple Map. • Privacy-minded — no account, no login. We do not collect names or emails to identify you, and we never sell your data. Whether you are a plane spotter, an aviation enthusiast, or simply curious about that aircraft you just heard overhead, OverheadView gives you a clear, up-to-date picture of nearby air traffic. Aircraft data is sourced from community ADS-B networks and may not reflect all air traffic. OverheadView is for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended for navigation or any safety-critical use.
