Hot Air

Hot Air is a balloon-flight planning and log tool with tracking, waypoint displays, and map export.

Our take

Consider it if you want to review recorded flights and keep notes about each one.

The map history and exports provide ways to review data after a flight.

Keep in mind: GPS, cached maps, and estimates are supplementary; verify flight decisions with approved procedures and sources.

What you can do

  • Record a flight and inspect it on a map
  • Import overlays or cache map data
  • Export a log in a listed format such as KML or GPX

Good for

  • Balloon pilots keeping a supplementary flight record

Consider alternatives for

  • Anyone needing a primary certified navigation or weight-and-balance system

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.5.
  • GPS, cached maps, and estimates are supplementary; verify flight decisions with approved procedures and sources.

Privacy & permissions

Live sharing can expose flight paths, and logs can contain crew or passenger details.
