iSorties™
“Birds of a feather.” Want to meet new friends, see unique aircraft and enjoy more flying? Connecting Aviators makes it easy to find or create events with the app feature iSorties™.
iSorties™ allows pilots to post a fly-in notice and track responses. You can send the notice to specific individuals or simply share with just your Connecting Aviators® contacts. The notice is displayed in map and home airport view, but for those not on your list the details are limited.
Glider pilots enjoy the group sport called soaring. With iSorties™ you can create a soaring notice for free and verify key participants’ responses. Easily confirm glider pilots, wing runners, ground support and aero-tow attendance. Each person’s response is visible to the group. And, updates or changes are received as real-time notifications so everyone stays the same page.
Connecting Aviators not visible to the general public, so iSorties™ gives you more control over who sees your post. Flying notices on public social media sites can be problematic. Why take the risk?
- Announce a local flying event
- Join pilots at a lunch fly-in
- Find Member Only Events
