Offline Support

What if I lose service when in the field?

Updated over a week ago

Air Control has offline support built in. The app will seamlessly collect and queue your activity that includes any mission assignment, risk assessment logs, checklist logs, flight activity, and even media uploads. Once data connectivity is reestablished, the upload process will begin automatically.

Pilots can bookmark a large portion of the airspace map for offline use with the bookmark feature. You can also save smaller, more specific areas by simply searching for them. Once the area shows in your recent searches you can also reference the map for offline use this way.

Missions can also be used for preparing to go offline. On the Missions tab, you’ll see the option to download each mission for offline use. Downloading the mission will save the mission details, notes, surrounding airspace, workflow steps, and more. This will ensure you can continue planned activity even when operating in cell-denied areas.

Once you are back online, through cellular data or a wifi connection, the app will automatically start syncing when opened and online. The sync arrows will appear in the top left every time you launch the app and remain while syncing. Please allow the process to complete and the sync arrows disappear before closing the app.
