Your flight. Tracked. Shared. Free.
Gyropilots is the free flight tracking app built specifically for gyrocopter and autogyro pilots. Log every flight with precision GPS, share your journey live with friends and family, and monitor your aircraft's attitude in real time — all from your phone, with no subscriptions and zero ads. Tracking keeps running in the background too, so it never stops just because your screen is locked or you've switched to another app.

Instant Push Notifications
Takeoff, landing and safety alerts now land straight on your phone the instant they happen — no more constantly checking your email. A massive upgrade for anyone following your flight.
Takeoff & Landing Alerts
Configure the app to automatically notify friends and family the moment you start or end your flight — delivered instantly as a push notification, with email as a backup.
Safety Watchdog
Set a timeout interval and the system sends an instant push notification (plus a warning email) if no GPS updates arrive within that window — peace of mind for loved ones back home.
Live GPS Map
Watch your flight path draw itself in real time on a full-screen interactive map. Zoom, pan and review your complete route after landing.
Keeps Tracking in the Background
Lock your phone, take a call or switch to another app — GPS tracking, live sharing and alerts all keep running uninterrupted in the background.
Artificial Horizon
A live attitude indicator driven directly by your phone's motion sensors — pitch, roll and yaw displayed graphically in real time.
Live Camera Streaming
Watch your onboard camera feed live inside the app. Use any RTMP/SRT-capable camera, or our turn-key RPI Streamer solution.
Flight Timer & Stats
Track airtime, Hobbs meter readings and get a sunset countdown so you always know exactly how much daylight you have left.
Full Gyropedia Integration
Seamlessly connected to Gyropedia — the state-of-the-art flight management system. Create a flight on Gyropedia directly from the app, automatically start and stop the Gyropedia flight log as you fly, and upload your Hobbs directly from the app the moment you land.
