There are several options for using Air Control with Android-based remote controllers.
Device Support
Air Control can be installed on any Android-based device or remote controller. As long as that device connects to the internet, it can also support encrypted live streaming.
Air Control supports DJI SmartControllers and the newer RC Pros and RC Plus models.
CrystalSky devices are no longer supported.
Choose how you fly:
In most cases, Air Control is installed directly onto the device. This route offers a secure, direct flight logging experience without an import connection.
Operators may still fly in the manufacturer's flight app. Import connections can be set up to support this workflow. Manual flight logs are also available. Imports and manual flight logs can be merged if needed.
If the app is not installed on the remote controller, Air Control should be installed on a mobile phone for logging activity while in the field.
