Description

*** Hot Air has been featured in the Ballooning Journal twice! ***
Hot Air is a flight logging and tracking application made especially for hot air balloon pilots! It's like having a log book and data recorder in your pocket! Hot air is loaded with lots of different features; many based on pilot feedback from around the world.
---------------------------
Major Features:
---------------------------
- Real-time tracking! Great for improving situationally awareness, see your current location on a map or satellite imagery
- Waypoints to show your distance, bearing, and ETE to a target location
- Offline maps available
- Record your entire flight path (you can even turn your screen off during recording)! Then you can export your flight to your computer and view it in 3D using Google Earth
- KML/KMZ overlays! Add custom overlay data to the real-time flight maps (can be used to map out electric lines, friendly or unfriendly places to land, denoting special airspaces, include information such as radio frequencies or phone numbers, etc.).
- Wind data tracking - records wind speed and direction at the various altitudes as you fly
- Integration of the Glympse location sharing service to allow ground crew, family, or others to track your flight in real-time. They can track you using almost any device with a data connection.
- Flight Log- the log makes it easy to track information common to all pilots such as crew members, passengers, maximum envelope temperature, and propane used. The log also makes saving takeoff and landing locations convenient, thanks to the iPhone’s GPS or triangulation capabilities; plus, it has a "favorites" list for takeoff locations. The log can also aid in flight planning and separates future flights from past flights using a simple color-coding scheme.
- Flight Data Summary: this tab quickly tallies flights and hours flown. The summary includes a total of all flights or just the ones made within the past 90 days. Plus a summary of the crew used for past flights.
- Summary Map: on the map tab, the logged flights that have a saved takeoff and landing location can be plotted and compared on an interactive map
- Data export: export your flight log in HTML, KML (for viewing in Google Earth), and GPX (GPS Exchange)
- Data backup and restore - to be certain your data is safe!
- Comprehensive payload calculator
- Measure Tool
- View weather conditions and forecasts from within the app
- Universal app - works on iPad (landscape and portrait) as well as the iPhone and iPod touch!
- Facebook integration - it is easy to post a quick summary of your latest flight to Facebook and even includes a link to a map!
- Real-time tracking heading projection-line option
---------------------------
This app includes translations in English, French, Czech, and Slovak!
---------------------------
Note: During real-time flight mode the GPS is continuously running in the background which can significantly decrease battery life.

Please can you tell me why this app no longer works on my Apple watch 6 ? I have the Apple 14 max pro phone

Needs IPadOS 16 update

I have been using this app for many years, both privately and commercially and it works great, up until I updated my iPad to IOS16, since then, it keeps freezing mid flight. Another very useful suggestion would be to enable different colour Overlay pins. Great work though, really appreciate all your hard work. 👍 (Using iPad Pro M1 11inch 2021 Cellular)

Great record of flight

Really pleased with this App which records the flight track, max speed and altitude etc. of a flight. It totals up the cumulative hours for the pilot and for each registered balloon flown, the pax details, weight, propane used, names of crew. Reads speeds in MPH not knots which I would prefer. This can all be synchronised with google earth to provide a 2D track. A very cool App. Recommended.

Excellent app for hot-air ballooning. May need some minor tweaks for UK use (e.g. Option of knots as well / instead of mph please). But overall the best app for the purpose!

Excellent app, really useful

Perfect for logging flights. Good features.

Good ballooning app esp as it remembers winds at different altitudes

Great app, worth the money and apparently now linked to glympse.

Hot - great ballooning app.

Joinerysoft on

I think this app is superb for ballooning. There are a few things that I would like to have enhanced, however I have now used it for 18 months and found it to be very good. It is reasonably easy to add the sensitive area maps for uk.

Great but...
