What it does

Everything you need before and after you fly.

01

Your logbook

Log every flight with date, place, drone, minutes, weather, observer and credential number. See your hours and kilometres at a glance.

02

Airspace map

Airport zones, prohibited, restricted and danger areas (P/R/D) and protected areas, all on the map. Tap a point to see which zones apply there.

03

Rules in plain words

Chile's DGAC and the US FAA rules explained in plain language, with the source and the date each was last checked.

04

DGAC authorizations

A document checklist, a send-by date for your request, a ready-to-send email to the DGAC, and tracking of status and validity. Keep your KMZ, the permission letter and the reply on your phone.

05

Documents up to date

Your credential, drone registration and insurance, with a heads-up before they expire.

06

Bring what you already have

Import flights from AutoPylot and your DJI logs (with real air time). Export to CSV or print your logbook as a PDF.

Also: fleet and battery cycles · height alerts (120 m in Chile, 400 ft in the US) · backup and restore · opens without signal in the field (the map needs internet).

For pilots in Chile

Help me make it better.

I’m building it with Chilean pilots. What’s missing? Does something not match the rules? Write to me, I’ll check it and keep updating it. My goal is something like AutoPylot, but made for Chile.

Made by Manny Olivos, a Chilean FPV pilot in Miami.
