About Drone Scout: Flight Simulator
Drone Scout combines an FAA airspace map, an AI spot finder, and a photorealistic 3D flight simulator in one app for US drone pilots. Everything starts from the map. Roam the real world in 3D, drop a pin anywhere, and a green, yellow, or red verdict appears for that exact point, with the reasons behind it. 3D FLIGHT SIMULATOR Fly a virtual drone through a photorealistic 3D version of any real location before you drive there. Scout the site, rehearse the shot, and see restricted airspace as ceilings you can fly right up to. Twin sticks, a live HUD with altitude, heading, speed, and wind, all tuned to your aircraft's real specs from the drone catalog. NO-FLY ZONE MAP Controlled airspace, prohibited zones, stadium TFRs, and National Park Service lands drawn as real shapes over the map instead of a list of warnings. LAANC grid cells float at their true ceiling altitude, so a 400 ft limit becomes something you can see. Tap any zone for its name, ceiling, and authorization detail, and watch the verdict update as you move the pin. BEST SPOTS, BEST TIME Pin a point, set a radius, and let AI Scout analyze the whole area. It scores candidate launch spots against airspace, weather, ground clearance, and nearby scenery, then ranks the best ones for you. Every spot comes with a real photo, its authorization status, its altitude ceiling, and the time window when conditions are actually good: wind, gusts, visibility, precipitation, cloud cover, and temperature. Bookmark the ones worth keeping and they wait for you in Saved Spots. BUILT FOR US PILOTS Airspace from FAA data, park no-fly boundaries from the National Park Service, weather from Open-Meteo. Made for recreational and Part 107 pilots who want a quick, reliable read before they launch. IMPORTANT Drone Scout is an informational tool only. It is not an FAA authorization and does not replace LAANC or official airspace guidance. Coverage is limited to the United States. Always confirm current rules and conditions before you fly, and follow all FAA regulations. SUBSCRIPTION The no-fly zone map, point verdicts, and weather are free to use. A subscription unlocks AI Scout and unlimited simulator flights, and every new pilot gets three free simulator launches to try it first. You can view, change, or cancel your subscription at any time from your Apple account settings under Subscriptions.

What’s new
Version 1.0.5 · Updated August 25, 2026
Clearer airspace map: zones now read as real areas, each ceiling in its own color. A new area summary appears after every scan, with a tap-through for the details. AI Scout returns the area's own numbers on every scan, and scanning is simpler. Bug fixes and user interface polish.
