PilotSense

PilotSense is a science-backed fatigue management platform for pilots and flight organizations. Get a readiness score before every flight based on your sleep, reaction time, circadian rhythm, and biometrics — grounded in validated aviation research.
HOW IT WORKS
Complete a quick daily check-in combining:

Apple Health sleep data (duration, efficiency, fragmentation)
Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT-B) — the gold standard for measuring alertness, available in 30-second screening or 3-minute validated modes
Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS) self-assessment
Circadian phase and jetlag tracking
Wearable biometrics (HRV, resting heart rate, respiratory rate)

Your readiness score is computed using peer-reviewed fatigue science frameworks published by the FAA (AC 120-103A) and EASA (ORO.FTL.120), with transparent weighting: Sleep 47%, Circadian 22%, PVT 22%, KSS 9%.
FIVE-BAND READINESS SYSTEM

SHARP (88–100) — Peak alertness
READY (75–87) — Good to go
CAUTION (55–74) — Fly with awareness
ELEVATED (35–54) — Reconsider if possible
REST (0–34) — Do not fly

PRE-FLIGHT BRIEF
Integrated decision support covering pilot readiness, weather (live METAR/TAF), currency compliance, aircraft status, and environmental factors — all on one screen.
IN-FLIGHT MONITORING
Minimal, glanceable alerts during flight. One-tap "I'm feeling tired" button with tailored countermeasure recommendations. Window of Circadian Low (WOCL) warnings when your body clock dips.
SAFETY TOOLS

BAC Calculator — Widmark formula with 8-hour bottle-to-throttle enforcement (14 CFR 91.17)
FAA Medication Database — 2000+ drugs with impairment classification
Digital Logbook — GPS auto-detect takeoff, auto-log from scheduled flights, export to CSV/PDF
Circadian & Jetlag Tracker — Know your body clock before you fly
Currency Tracking — §61.57 day/night/instrument currency, medical, and BFR monitoring

FOR FLIGHT SCHOOLS & ORGANIZATIONS
Admin dashboard with real-time fleet oversight:

Fleet readiness distribution — see your organization's safety posture at a glance
Time-sensitive safety alerts when a pilot checks in at risk with a flight scheduled
Check-in monitoring and missed check-in alerts
Safety override logging
Instructor-student management with solo endorsements
Privacy-first: pilots control what data their organization sees through three tiers (Status Only, Score, Full Details)

BUILT ON SCIENCE
Every score is informed by peer-reviewed aviation fatigue research including Basner & Dinges (2011), Van Dongen et al. (2004), Dawson & Reid (1997), and FAA/EASA fatigue risk management frameworks. PilotSense is a screening-grade decision-support tool, not a certified FRMS or medical device.
PRIVACY BY DESIGN

Mental wellness screenings stay between you and the app — never shared with organizations at any tier
Pilots choose their privacy tier — admins see fleet aggregates and safety escalations by default, not individual health data
Raw sleep, KSS, and self-report data stays private unless you opt into Full Details
No tracking, no ads, no data sold

Free for all pilots. No subscriptions. No paywalls.
