## FlightLink Description
FlightLink is the free, proprietary app that adds enhanced functionality to all Lightspeed headsets.

FlightLink works seamlessly with Lightspeed headsets manufactured since 2012 (Zulu 2 and 3, Sierra, Tango, and PFX) to record and playback incoming and outgoing communications. Older Zulu 2 and Sierra headsets may qualify for a factory•installed retrofit at a nominal fee. For more information on a retrofit contact Lightspeed Customer Care by phone 800.332.2421 or email at service@lightspeedaviation.com.

When combined with the Zulu PFX ANR headset, FlightLink&#039;s enhanced capabilities include recording via Bluetooth and the ability to set a variety of personal audio and operational preferences.

FlightLink Recording Features

FlightLink is perfect for any pilot flying with an iPad or iPhone who wants to capture and retrieve in•flight communication. It is also a valuable tool for flight training at all levels because of its ability to capture the intercom communication of instructional flights.
•  Record all activity over the intercom, including inbound and outbound transmissions, and in•cabin conversation.
•  Instantly play back ATC calls or other communications from any point within the last two minutes of recording.
•  Create a permanent archive of all flight communications for post•flight briefing and training.
•  Store your recording library on your iPhone or iPad, and access them with the iOS Files app or iTunes on a Mac or PC.
•  Take handwritten notes on iPads and use Apple Pencil or Pencil 2 on supported iPads.

FlightLink Personal Preference Features (With Zulu PFX headsets only)

In addition to its recording features, FlightLink•s enhanced capabilities allow Zulu PFX headset users to adjust a variety of audio and operational settings, creating a personalized flying experience. For example:
•  Customize audio settings for different aircraft or users
•  Fine tune audio response for maximum voice clarity and music fidelity
•  Use the Voice Clarity• option to boost frequencies common in human speech without impacting the quality of music from auxiliary devices
•  View remaining battery life with the battery level indicator
•  Enable / disable audible low battery alert
•  Choose Auto Shutoff• delay intervals
•  Save custom settings in up to three personal profiles

The ability to set and save other audio and operational preferences through FlightLink is only available on the Zulu PFX headset.

## FlightLink Reviews in United States

### ***** "Works"
You can connect the Lightspeed Zulu 2 to the app and record through Bluetooth. The other app called LightSpeed doesn’t work though.
-- naqshi786, 2026-03-10

### ***** "Does what it says"
I don’t use this much, but when I have it’s worked great at recording everything my headset takes in.
-- 741XM, 2025-07-23

### *---- "Worst airline ever"
Do not flight in flight link is the worse airline I ever been. They have tricky policies and they will try to scam you. They gave us the incorrect amount of money trying to charge us fees. They try to charge us more than twice the cost of the tickets. Worst customer expirience ever. Worst aircraft very unprofesional. Go to other airline like presicion air. Do not trust this company
-- carolinaprietor, 2024-01-01

### ****- "Great sound"
Great sound and comfort but the flight link app only records my voice, what can I do to correct that?
-- Juanchito 88, 2023-02-22

### *---- "Files disappear and don’t transfer"
I attempted to transfer the audio from my sons first flight to make a video, however it just disappeared while attempting to transfer the audio file.
-- Mike Patey, 2022-11-24

### *---- "What a load of crap"
Hit record and went on a 2 hr flight. At the end of the flight I went to check out the recording and when I reopened the app it said another app shut it down. I got 17 seconds of the engine running from the ambient mic. Zero from the comms. Waste of space on my devices.
-- showboat141, 2022-11-22

### *---- "Quits"
App has not worked since I purchased the headsets and downloaded the app. It quits after 2 seconds with the message, “Recording Stopped - the recording was stopped by another application”. There is nothing in the faq section about this. I have no other applications running Bluetooth. I bought these headsets because of the app.
-- pastorscottz, 2022-01-25

### *---- "Zulu 3 with audio cable to iPhone/app"
Don’t waste you time on this app. The recordings simply disappear without a trace.
-- malpond, 2021-11-28

### *---- "Will delete your records"
The most important purpose of this application is to record audio, and this the only thing application cannot do. In many times it will not start recording (you need to be precise in action order when to turn on headset, when to turn on avionics on plan, when connect cable etc). But even if you succeed record audio, it still huge chance that you will lose it. I switched to plain audio recording app and never lose recording after that
-- Yu101, 2021-11-28

### *---- "Great idea but files disappearing makes the app a waste of time"
I love my Zulu 3s and the idea of this app. 

But unfortunately with an iPhone 12 if the files are longer than an hour it will cause the export function of the app to crash and for whatever corresponding file to disappear with no recovery feature. 

Please please fix this major issue
-- This is my next review, 2021-06-23

### *---- "Do something! Update!"
The only reason I bought this headset was for this recording feature. It is riddled with issues, no support, no updates. Regrettable purchase.
-- Eddie Hazel11, 2021-06-21

### *---- "It’s trash…."
The last thing you want in aviation is an unintuitive  non functioning app. Welp, this app is just that…. 

Toggle switch on the back or not…. This app is not user friendly and doesn’t not function as advertised. 

If this feature is the point of consideration for you buying a lightspeed headset…. Just know that the app is trash. 

PS: still love my zulu3 though.
-- MabryFamily, 2021-06-07

### *---- "Deleted My Recording"
The ability to record my audio via Bluetooth was a primary consideration when buying my $850 Zulu 3 headset. I’ve been waiting all week to try out the recording function. Had an amazing flight with my Dad today, recorded the audio, got home and hit the export button. Everything deleted. So upset. 

It appears this is a common issue. Maybe I’m on the cheap side of things, but $850 is a lot to spend to have this initial experience. I’m definitely going to try to return these. Really disappointed.
-- FlyGuy425, 2021-03-06

### *---- "Lots of Promise, Does Not Deliver"
This app does not do what Lightspeed says it will do. Doing an export to m4a is extremely buggy. Switching apps, letting he screen turn off, or looking at the app wrong will result in the export failing, and the application deleting the source recording. All that needs to change is for the app not to delete the source recording on export or compression, and then I would be able to recover and try again, but it doesn’t even do that, which means that this app is worse than no app at all. It’s the promise of a recording app, but in reality you’ll find that in more than 50% of cases, you’ll have hours of recordings summarily deleted.

Absolutely avoid.
-- Neoeinstein, 2021-01-26

### *---- "Deletes your files"
Be careful sharing your file because about half the time I deletes my audio and I can’t recover it. Lost the recording of my first solo :/
-- boxcar182plus44, 2021-01-18

### ***-- "Great Feature, Poor Execution"
I was victim to my recording being lost on export. Similar to many others here.

I converted to M4A. Then I hit the export button to Save To Files. Now my file is gone from the app and I have no idea where it went.

I bought the Zulu 3’s specifically for this feature, but losing files is very annoying. If this is some kind of user error, make it harder for this to happen. But I can assure you I didn’t hit the trash
-- dylanlive, 2021-01-04

### *---- "Major technical issue"
After recording audio, there is no way to export the audio. When one tries to “share” or export, the app goes into an infinite loop. When you close the app, somehow it deletes the audio forever. This has happened every time I have tried to share the audio. This issue needs to be addressed as so many are relying on this feature. Also, there should be a way to back up the audio to the cloud so that audio isn’t permanently lost.
-- Cobster34, 2020-11-02

### **--- "Poor Functionality, Files Disappearing,"
TL;DR - App is clunky and difficult to get working properly, files can disappear without warning.

While the FlightLink app is visually appealing and easy to interact with, getting it to work is an absolute nightmare. The app doesn’t record cockpit audio or ATC without first enabling the the “FlightLink” DIP Switch on the inside of your headset’s in-line volume controls. In addition to that, it doesn’t work over Bluetooth, so you’re required to use the audio cable provided with your headset in order for all the audio to record properly. 

Once you go through the trouble of getting the app working, it offers a frustrating user experience. If not converted to the M4A format before sharing, files will be permanently deleted without notice. The audio playback feature is passable at best, with poor scrubbing controls and a lack of helpful features like a trim function which would be helpful for longer recordings.

Save yourself the trouble and buy an external audio recorder and audio cables to use with your aircraft&#039;s headset plugs. It’s much easier and more reliable than this clunky piece of software.
-- benji412, 2020-10-12

### *---- "Doesn’t work"
It does not record anything other than from my headset’s mike picked up (2013 Sierra). So no ATC play back or record or any communication from other crew.
-- Ttas242, 2020-07-27

### **--- "Sounds horrible"
Not sure if I have something set wrong but the engine noise is overwhelming when trying to listen to the audio.  After calling Lightspeed they said on a Zulu 2 you have to use the aux cable!!!  On a Bluetooth capable device and an Bluetooth IPad???Why???
