Description

Airspace safety and situational awareness is no longer just about "before" you fly but across the entirety of your operation. Air Aware provides this complete system for safe flight. From the makers of the original B4UFLY, Aloft is launching Air Aware for next-generation situational awareness. In partnership with Pilot Institute (https://pilotinstitute.com), Air Aware is the platform for all drone pilots to get started safely and compliantly to fly drones. In addition to authoritative airspace information from Aloft (an FAA-approved UAS Service Supplier for LAANC), Air Aware includes Aloft's exclusive Geo layers with over 10 million square miles of local, state, and federal advisory information to assist pilots with takeoff/landing restrictions and other pertinent safety information. Air Aware includes all FAA-required B4UFLY data layers, and also features the new FRIA data set (FAA Recognized Identification Areas) where Remote ID is not required. We've also incorporated Aloft's Notify & Fly system, originally introduced in the FAA's B4UFLY app, into Air Aware -- giving pilots the ability to read and share live flight volumes for complete real-time situational awareness and deconfliction. As we've partnered with Pilot Institute, inside Air Aware you will also find links to free resources, such as training videos, FAA TRUST information, and free stickers for labeling your drone. Please get in touch with our team directly at [email protected] if you have any questions, feedback, or ideas. Together with Pilot Institute, we're looking for your feedback as we evolve this new platform.

  • Doesn’t show other LAANC

    This has been my go to app for LAANC. I really like that I can do a “notify and fly” notification when I don’t need LAANC. I think that is a great idea to further enhance NAS safety. However, I am trying out a new app, AutoPylot as my backup in case this one doesn’t work for some reason. I posted a LAANC flight through that app but it does not show up in this app. I think any and all LAANC requests should show up in all LAANC apps to enhance pilot situational awareness and NAS safety of flight. If 5 other pilots are flying around me and all five are using a diferent app than me, none of us will know there are multiple other drones in the area causing a dangerous collision risk. This issue should be addressed by all LAANC apps immediately!

  • Poor usability

    After typing in an address; the keyboard remains on screen obscuring map. There are much better apps available.

  • Very inconsistant

    The app does not always work even from a location that worked previously Can usually only check my immediate area. Not useful if I am going to travel and check conditions where I am going

  • Must Have App

  • Not Ready for Use

    This app isn’t ready. Buttons disappear at the bottom of screen (iPhone 13 Pro), layers are not selectable, and no altitude grids inside controlled space.

  • Reliable information

    Contacted customer support about LAANC. This was on a Sunday afternoon and they got back to me within 15 minutes. Jon provided me with very good information to my question.

  • Almost perfect

    Increase notification time: 60 minutes is not enough time for my flight times. Allow the radius to be adjusted of where the has operation is taking place the current radius is too small.

  • Won’t go up w/o it

    Realizing a large percentage of drone enthusiasts (recreational) largely don’t include a documented preflight regimen, and that’s fine for them, I personally don’t feel comfortable not advising my flight locale with my presence for both courtesy and safety purposes. I really appreciate this service for its accountability.

  • A way to let everyone know!

    This is a good app for all drone pilots, recreational and commercial. I always want to let people know before flight as I use an Autel EVO II. This app will do that. Hopefully they will add the ability to preplan an area for commercial work. It would be nice to let pilots know where I am working the next day or even 90 days in advance like LAANC. Currently I can only do this when using LAANC in aloft. Brad at Aloft promptly assured me they are working towards this. Thank you for the great app and making our airspace easier to navigate!

  • UI controls unusable

    I’m trying to use this app on an iPhone SE and failing becaue of the horrible placement of UI controls. The buttons are off the edge of the screen and the close and back buttons simply don’t work. Tapping them passes through to the view beneath them. This is a mess and testing must be nonexistent on devices with the same aspect ratio. UPDATE: I tuned off text zoom in the display settings but the same problem occurs in iOS 17.2.1 and 17.3. I was asked for a screen capture but I don’t see how to add one to this review using an iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard.
