FlyRobert uses your iPhone's built-in GPS — which keeps working in airplane mode — to show where you are, how fast you're flying and when you'll land.

Window seat recommended. The aircraft's fuselage blocks most GPS signals — in most planes you'll only get a position next to the window.

Sit by the window.
GPS satellites need a line of sight to your iPhone. Inside an aircraft the metal hull blocks most of their signal, so FlyRobert usually only finds your position at a window seat. From an aisle or middle seat it often won't work at all — and the first fix can take a few minutes even at the window.

FAQ
Good questions.
Does GPS really work in airplane mode?
Usually yes — from a window seat. The iPhone's GPS receiver only listens to satellites and keeps working when airplane mode is on, but the aircraft's metal fuselage blocks most of the signal. In most planes you will only get a reliable position at a window seat; from an aisle or middle seat it often doesn't work at all. The first fix can take a few minutes.
Do I need internet?
No. Position, speed, ETAs and the airport search work completely offline. Map tiles you have already viewed are usually cached by iOS, so open the map along your route once before departure while you are still online.
Can I use FlyRobert to navigate an aircraft?
No. FlyRobert is a situational-awareness app for curious passengers and enthusiasts. It must not be used as a primary means of navigation.

It stays on your iPhone. FlyRobert has no account, no ads and no analytics. Read the privacy policy for details.
