Focus on What You Do Best

Mission makers build missions. Squadron leads plan. Pilots show up prepared.

Squadron Leads Own Their Plan

No back-and-forth with mission makers. Leads control their own waypoints, loadouts, and timings.

Always Up-to-Date

Update plans until the last minute. Pilots get the latest data with a single click.

Everyone Syncs Automatically

Shared presets ensure correct comms, datalink, and loadouts. No more wrong frequencies or missing waypoints.
