Flight1 App Basics

Before you start using the Flight1 mobile application (which comes pre-installed on the iPad), we suggest creating an account and logging in. You can more easily plan, save, and export missions when you’re logged into the app. Follow these steps to get started:

1. Open the Flight1 app and pull the white mission drawer in the bottom left of the screen up.
2. Tap on Settings.
3. The app displays the log-in page. At this point, you can tap Sign in if you have an existing account.  
4. If you do not have an existing account, you can create a new account in one of two ways: connect using a social account (see the screenshot below) or create an account with your email and password.

Using the App

• Tap the ⓘ button to change your map view to a Satellite or Road map.
