Wingman

For general aviation pilots

Find pilots
to fly with.

Wingman shows you pilots based at airports near you and what they're looking to fly: a safety pilot, time building, a $100 hamburger. Post your own flying activity, and pilots nearby can ask to join.

Free on iPhone and iPad.

Wingman's Home screen: a chart of nearby airports with pilot counts, your status, open activities and upcoming events.

How it works

3 steps

1Set your home airport

Other pilots find you by your home airport. Your device's location is never shared. Add your certificates and ratings, then say what you're up for.

Credentials are self-reported

Self-reported and not verified by Wingman. Confirm certificates and currency directly with the pilot before flying together.

Every profile shows certificates, ratings and endorsements separately, exactly as the pilot entered them.

Your location is an airport

Wingman never stores or reveals where you live.

Your location on Wingman is always an airport, never a home address or a coordinate. Your device's location is used only on this device, to rank nearby airports, and is never uploaded or stored.

The PIC decides

The pilot in command is responsible for the safety and legality of every flight. Never let scheduling pressure or a stranger's expectations influence a go/no-go decision.

Report any pilot or posting, and block a pilot from their profile.

What Wingman is

Wingman is a directory and coordination tool for general aviation pilots. It is not an air carrier, charter service, brokerage, flight planning tool, FAA navigation source, or dispatch system. Wingman does not arrange transportation and takes no part in any flight arranged through it.
