Description
SkyBound is the all-in-one platform for hot air balloon pilots and crew. Track flights in real time with precision GPS, coordinate with your crew, plan flights with integrated weather, and manage your ballooning business — all from one app.
FLIGHT TRACKING
Track every flight with live GPS including altitude, speed, heading, and vertical rate. Your crew sees your position in real time and gets navigation to your landing spot. Background tracking keeps working even when the app is minimized.
CREW COORDINATION
Create teams with your pilots and crew. Everyone sees live positions on a shared map during flights. No more constant calls and texts — your crew knows exactly where you are and where you're headed.
WEATHER INTELLIGENCE
Get flight-specific weather forecasts right at your launch coordinates. View wind speed and direction at multiple altitudes, hourly breakdowns, and sunrise/sunset times. Pick the forecast model that fits your flight — ECMWF, GFS, HRRR, NBM, or RAP. Check active TFRs and NOTAMs with an interactive map.
SKYCAST WIND SIMULATOR
Drop a takeoff, dial in a wind profile by altitude, and fly the app manually before you ever leave the ground. SkyCast uses the real flight HUD — gauges, target cards, drift cones — so you can see how altitude choices steer you across the map. Perfect for practicing competition tasks or briefing new crew.
FLIGHT PLANNING
Plan routes on an interactive map with zone overlays. Import KML and GPX files for competition targets, restricted areas, and custom boundaries. Set altitude floors and ceilings with color-coded rules.
COMPETITION SUPPORT
Snap a photo of your task sheet and let AI extract targets, coordinates, and scoring rules. Import task sheets directly from WatchMeFly. See task overlays on your flight map in real time.
FLIGHT LOG
Every flight is automatically logged with full GPS tracks, altitude profiles, duration, and distance. Replay any flight on the map.
FOR COMMERCIAL PILOTS
List your business in our nationwide pilot directory. Manage bookings, track your customer pipeline, send invoices with Stripe payments, and view revenue analytics.

What's new (v1.12)
v1.12 - 3D Flight Comparison, SkyOps Owner Polish, Live Tab Upgrades
NEW
- 3D flight comparison. Multi-flight comparison view now has a 3D replay alongside the 2D one. Synced Cesium globe with one polyline + altitude wall per pilot, color-coded to the legend. Chase / Top / Free camera modes.
- Video export for 3D comparison. Pick duration, aspect ratio (9:16 / 1:1 / 16:9), and quality. Watermark + stat overlays burn in.
- SkyOps Live: landing + takeoff pins. Pilots' set landing and takeoff spots show on the operator's Live map exactly like crew sees them, including pins set before the operator opened the tab.
- ETA to landing on Live cards. Under each pilot's name on SkyOps Live and the crew per-pilot stat card, a small MM:SS countdown using current ground speed.
- Pre-chase trail backfill on SkyOps Live. Joining a chase mid-flight now backfills the full polyline up to "now," not just the segment since you opened the tab.
- SkyOps owner appears in their own roster. Virtual entry on Pilots, counted in "Pilots in SkyOps." Owner flights show in Flights, Live, and Compare even without an active SkyOps stamp.
- My SkyOps panel: owned entries. Settings - My SkyOps lists orgs you own with an "Owner" tag; pick your own org as your active SkyOps so new flights stamp.
- Default active SkyOps on join. Joining a SkyOps (join code, owner add, or flight-group seed) auto-sets it as your active when you don't already have one.
- Self-healing SkyOps stamp. Pilots in exactly one SkyOps who never set it active auto-resolve and stamp on their next flight - Live + saved flight log.
- Non-commercial pilots see their SkyOps memberships. The page lists orgs you've been added to with a clear "Upgrade to Commercial" banner.
- Apple sub -> Seats migration prompt. First seat add on an App Store sub shows a clear modal: your Apple sub keeps running until you cancel it, no flight logs, waivers, crew, SkyOps, or settings are lost.
- Add a pilot by email. New "Add a pilot" card on the Pilots tab - type a SkyBound account email and tap Add. No seat purchase required.
- Suggested-from-your-teams. Pilots who join a flight team you own or co-own appear as suggestions with one-tap Add (and Add all).
- Premium comparison stats card. Row-per-pilot layout with DUR / DIST / ALT / SPD. Values match the units you've set (kn/mph/km/h, nm/mi/km, ft/m). Updates live on unit change.
- Flights tab grouped by day. Sections for "Today," "Yesterday," and prior dates. Today gets an amber accent - colored header, "Live day" pill, ring border, gradient stripe.
FIXED
- Roster pilots flying without a SkyOps stamp now appear on Live and Stats - used to fall off the operator's map when their default was never set.
- 3D track no longer ends mid-air on soft landings. The stationary-edge trimmer used to chop the final minute of slow descents. Tail buffer keeps it.
- 3D replay altitude when terrain is unavailable. Falls back to a flat globe with a minimum-altitude offset so flights sit just above ground instead of floating at raw MSL.
- 3D KML targets stay anchored to the flight path on both personal and comparison 3D replays when altitude offset is recomputed.
- iPad 3D replay stability. Wall geometry densified per flight, recording rAF throttled to 30 Hz on Capacitor, tighter tile cache so iPad doesn't crash on record warm-up.
- 3D replay free imagery fallback. With Cesium Ion imagery quota out, the globe renders with Esri's tokenless World Imagery tiles.
- Waivers: file types + iPad PDF. Empty state lists PDF, Word, OpenDocument, RTF, text. Older iPads (pre-17.4) can open the field editor again.
- Empty amber notification pill on the dashboard for SkyOps adds no longer renders.
- Owner's pre-SkyOps flights appear in Flights, Live, and Compare - used to be invisible because the queries strictly filtered by stamp.
THANKS for flying with SkyBound.
