In the cockpit

A copilot that listens — and remembers.

Live Transcribe keeps up when the frequency gets busy. The camera files your shots against the flight. Debrief replays all of it on the ground.

Live transcribe

Never miss a clearance again.

Runs on the device, so no signal needed. Squawks, altitudes and frequencies are pulled out for you — tap a line to keep it.

Fly it again on the ground.

Scrub the track with video and radio audio in sync. Takeoff, turns, max altitude and landing are marked for you. Send it to your CFI.

IFR

The plate on the chart — and the procedure drawn on the map.

Open any d-TPP plate as an overlay with a transparency slider, switch between the airport's charts without closing it, then press 🛬 Fly and the instrument approach is drawn natively on the chart from CIFP data.

Plate overlay

Drag it, resize it, fade it from 15% to 100% so you keep the terrain underneath. Switch charts without closing it.

Approach mode · 🛬 Fly

Every transition, the final with per-leg minimums, and the missed — drawn from CIFP and auto-fit, with the clutter dimmed.

Live entry & HUD

It picks your entry (nearest IAF, or vectors-to-final) and walks the legs with you as you fly them.

Three platforms

One app. Same features on web, iOS and Android.

Not a desktop app with cut-down companions. Plan at the desk, brief on the pad, fly with the phone — it all syncs, and what you downloaded still works with no signal.

One data platform

Everything a flight needs — actually joined up.

The planner knows the weather. The assistant knows your route. The lesson knows what you flew.

Charts & plates

VFR, IFR and TAC plus approach plates and airport diagrams — downloadable, sharp offline.

Weather

METAR, TAF, MOS and winds aloft in plain English, with nearby stations when your field is silent.

ZSX AI

Reads the same data the map draws from, and cites product, edition and timestamp.

Planning & routes

Drag the course line, drop a fix anywhere, get an ICAO nav log with winds and legal altitudes.

Pilot buddy

Own-ship, traffic and terrain awareness — plus live transcribe on a busy frequency.

Lessons & debrief

Training that follows your real flights — replay, maneuvers, endorsements and 8710.

The difference

An assistant that reads your charts — not a chatbot bolted on.

Ask one question instead of running six lookups. It shows its work every time. The assistant queries the same platform that renders the map — airports, weather, airspace, plates, your aircraft and your logbook. That's what lets it correlate. “Is the crosswind within limits at every alternate?” is one question, not six.

Can I land at Truckee tonight?
Legal, but tight. KTRK sunset is 19:41 local; your ETA at current groundspeed is 19:12 — 29 minutes of margin. TAF has BKN060 after 20:00Z, above the 7 000 ft pattern altitude. Density altitude at 6 264 ft and 24 °C is 9 100 ft — plan the longer ground roll.

“Plan me an IFR flight to Reno tonight.”

It checks the weather, terrain, airspace and your aircraft, then draws the options on the map and says which one it would file — and why.

Plan me an IFR flight to Reno tonight in the Bonanza.
RecommendedA · SWR TRUCK118 NM · 0:48 · 11 000

Keeps you 3 400 ft above the highest terrain on the leg and north of the SIGMET. Freezing level is 12 500 — you stay below it the whole way.

14 NM shorter, but 13 000 puts you in the freezing level with an AIRMET ZULU along the ridge — and the Bonanza has no known-ice approval.

Logbook

Your hours, your currency — derived, not typed.

A real logbook, not a flight list. Currency is computed from the entries you actually logged; the 8710 and endorsements come out the other end.

Flight training

A syllabus that knows your aircraft — and your hours.

A real Part 61 program built around the tail you fly, gradeable by your CFI — not textbook links.
