Safety first, badges second
Never rush a maneuver, flight, or milestone to earn a badge. Only attempt a maneuver or task when you are trained and ready, and talk it over closely with your flight instructor first. Your CFI decides when you're ready, not this app. A badge can always wait; safety can't. If something doesn't feel right, the right call is to wait, turn back, or stay on the ground, and that earns a Good Call badge, not a lost one.
Included with Base
Checking items off, filtering by kit and timing, and saving progress are part of Base ($9.99/mo or $99/year) and Premium ($17.99/mo or $179/year), plus applicable tax. The public overview stays free.
Paid plans open soon, join the newsletter from the pricing page. Checking items off, and the badges those checks can log, turn on with Base or Premium. In development, use the preview switch on the pricing page. It does not start a subscription.
