Hot Air

The Hot Air App was the first app developed specifically to meet the needs of LTA pilots! The suite of tools included for flight planning, tracking, and logging is exceptional. Several years ago, the Hot Air app quickly became one of my must-have flight tools, but the recent addition of airspace maps, “AirTalk” (for communication) and “AirScout” (for drone detection) further the commitment to ensuring flight safety.

This is very well done by a pilot with a great attention to detail that shows throughout the app. I’m a Commercial pilot flying in a heavily forested area with tight landing spots, and the “projected path” is a great feature. Join the Hot Air Facebook group for great information and tips.

I use this application on every flight. It gives invaluable information in flight, including giving me a view of things like powerlines (loaded by KML) as I fly. Also serves as outstanding reference on past flights, to view trends over time, and also as electronic logbook, with back-up features. Outstanding app that increases my safety in-flight, and increases my enjoyment of the flights as I review the experience with outputs from the tool (like the flight track) after the flight.
