Here's what you can expect when you download our FREE app:

• Airspace map - Evaluate airspace classes, no-fly zones, and location insights to make more informed decisions before you fly.
• Weather layers - Check local precipitation, wind speed and direction, temperature, cloud cover, and more.
• Automated flight planning - Specify your flight parameters to automatically generate area exploration, waypoint, and multi-objective missions.
• Autonomous flight execution - Connect your drone and launch a mission to autonomously perform the predefined flight plan or schedule a flight for a future date.

For U.S.-based users, SkyGrid Flight Control also provides automated authorization to fly in U.S. controlled airspace under 400 feet near airports through integration with the Federal Aviation Administration's Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC) 4.0.

Great job on getting your app up and running!

Autonomous flight execution: I like the ability to touch an area’s boundaries to get a sweeping mission. Are there plans to add a grid mapping pattern or orbital mission? If so, will there be more parameters offered, such as overlap percentage? Will there eventually be more specific settings based on model of aircraft or camera?

I have SkyGrid on my iPad, and even with the most recent update, the UASFM girds don't match up with the KDEN or KAPA updates. It just updated to 2.0.2.

I too have the same issue. The App just don't work!

Maybe the app is now globally available as a public beta rather than the previous private beta?
That is kind of where drone tech is these days. Everything is a beta whether or not it is stated as such.

When will your grids match the UASFM grids?

Sounds like there are too many problems for me to be interested in testing it. Personally I don't want to trust my drones to any software that hasn't been in use for a while and has been well tested and debugged.

Hi Vic Moss,
This KDEN update occurred February 24th, 2022. See the link below.

AirNav: KDEN - Denver International Airport

Complete aeronautical information about Denver International Airport (Denver, CO, USA), including location, runways, taxiways, navaids, radio frequencies, FBO information, fuel prices, sunrise and sunset times, aerial photo, airport diagram.

We released our app before this KDEN update. We will be implementing this fix in the next build. We’re constantly making updates to the app, improving performance, and adding features. We really appreciate your feedback!

Thank you,

Hi R. Perry,
We’re constantly making updates to the app, improving performance, and adding features. We really appreciate the feedback you are providing! Please note, we released our app before the FAA's recently updated UASM Grids. We will be implementing this fix in the next build.

Thank you,
