As a general aviation pilot, I’ve always found it challenging to connect with others who share my passion for flying, especially those flying in the same areas.
Mainstream social media is too broad, and sport-tracking platforms don’t cater to mechanical sports. The first time I logged a flight on Strava, my yearly stats (distance, speed, etc.) were completely thrown off!
What sets flight tracks apart from other activities is the third dimension—altitude. Yet, no existing platform really emphasizes that. That's why I built a web-compatible 3D view, allowing pilots to fully visualize their flight paths in all dimensions.
The pilot community is unique. We share the same language, the same love for aerial views, perfect landings, and those special moments with passengers—whether they’re friends, family, or future aviators. This platform is designed to bring us closer together.

Finally, someone gets it! As someone who used to track flights on regular fitness apps, I totally feel the pain of messed-up stats 😅 The 3D visualization is exactly what the aviation community needs - it's wild that no one thought of this before. Love how it's web-based too, no extra apps needed. This could be huge for connecting local pilots and sharing those epic flight paths. Would be cool to see some screenshots of the 3D view in action! ✈️
@maxcompe Hello Max. Thanks for your interest. It's designed for recreational use only, but if a frequent pilot decides to upload all his/her tracks, why not. It will come with nice cumulative stats (not developped yet). It's not aimed at being a regulatory compliant tool. Do you have something in mind?

Congrats on the launch, Mickael!

Congrats on the launch! I'm curious, what inspired you to create a platform specifically for pilots and aviation enthusiasts? I'd love to hear the story behind it!
@ihuzaifashoukat I could not find any platform that was dedicated to pilots, as I wished to use one myself. They are either based on compliance and not social interaction ; or for other activities like sports. I wanted a dedicated occasional flyers platform. France is the second country of general aviation, after the US, and I think the community deserves a place to share.
