Aloft Air Aware

About this app

Aloft is the #1 FAA-Approved provider for B4UFLY and LAANC services.

Airspace safety and situational awareness is no longer just about "before" you fly but across the entirety of your operation.

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.

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 [e-mail] if you have any questions, feedback, or ideas. Together with Pilot Institute, we're looking for your feedback as we evolve this new platform.

Ratings and reviews

I recently downloaded this app and have been in constant contact with somebody for about a week, trying to understand the app as well as how to fly and where to fly. This app is extremely informative, and the customer service is spot on an accurate. In the future, I hope they get more LAANC approved areas where I live. Thanks Jon.

Does the job of helping determine if you're in a generally clear spot to fly. Would love to see: (1) a button that can reorient your map straight North if you've accidentally turned it; (2) easy way to see NOTAMs, TFRs, and local weather conditions for the closest airport with automated weather data (AWOS etc). Note to Aloft - these reviews ARE the feedback; please don't ask to send an email. You have the suggestions right here.

Honestly, I don't know why it's so difficult for companies to work on their UI. B4UFly and now this app have UI problems where it would be simple to fix. As a novice app developer, I could fix it for you. Also the entire hamburger menu is useless and a waste of space. All are external links and when you go back to the app, the app has to reload (instead of updating in the background) . Just kinda clumsy. The one link that is actually needed "Get LAANC" IS COVERED by your "Leave us a review"
