AirAware

Keep your eyes on the sky and your hands on the transmitter.

AirAware is the ultimate real-time aerial situational awareness tool designed specifically for Remote Controlled (RC) model pilots, FPV flyers, drone operators, and aviation enthusiasts. By monitoring nearby manned aircraft, AirAware helps you ensure a safe flight and maintain full separation from low-altitude traffic.

AWARDS EYES-FREE FLIGHT SAFETY
When piloting an RC aircraft, taking your eyes off your model to check a radar screen is dangerous. AirAware solves this with its advanced Voice UI. The application runs in the background and uses real-time Text-to-Speech (TTS) to announce nearby traffic details directly into your headphones.

🚀 KEY FEATURES OF AIRAWARE FREE:
• Real-Time Cloud ADS-B Ingestion: Aggregates real-time transponder data from premier open-source cloud networks (OpenSky Network, adsb.lol, and airplanes.live).
• Interactive Satellite Hybrid Map: Powered by MapLibre Native, featuring smooth rendering, responsive satellite overlays, and localized labels.
• 3D Flight Safety Cylinder: Set your custom warning parameters (Radius: 0.5km to 30km, Ceiling: up to 3km) around your location.
• Predictive 3D Vector Math: Calculates precise inbound/outbound intersection times (ETA) based on aircraft speed, heading, and vertical rates (climbing or descending).
• "Clock Position" Voice Mode: Calibrate your phone flat alongside your transmitter to align a 12 o'clock reference. The app translates absolute cardinal headings (North/East) into intuitive relative clock announcements (e.g., "Aircraft at 10 o'clock, 500 meters above, descending, ETA 2 minutes").
• Dynamic Map Smart Framing: The map automatically pans and zooms out during threat scenarios to ensure the pilot and all incoming threats (inside or entering the safety zone) remain visible, preventing distracting UI jitter.
• Intelligent Noise Filtering: Automatically filters out ground-based or taxiing aircraft (altitude < 5m or flagged as on-ground) to eliminate nuisance alarms during airport activity.

🔒 PRIVACY & RESPONSIVENESS
• Your location is strictly processed locally on your device for distance and vector mathematics.

💡 FREE FLAVOR NOTICE:
AirAware Free utilizes active internet connection (cellular/mobile data) to query cloud-based telemetry. It is optimized for flying fields with mobile network coverage.
