SAR Flight Watch
for Australian GA
Real-time tracking and a comprehensive alerting system that's more reliable than a group chat. Built for the distances that define Australian aviation.
Real-time tracking and a comprehensive alerting system that's more reliable than a group chat. Built for the distances that define Australian aviation.
FlightWatch gives operators real-time awareness over every active flight — from departure confirmation through to overdue alerting.
Phone GPS or compatible device. Scalable, affordable options that suit your operation — no expensive hardware required.
No more setting alarms or watching the clock. Alerts fire automatically the moment a SAR window expires — SMS and email, straight to the right people.
Quick and comprehensive. Easier than a full NAIPS submission, more reliable and safe than a group text. Each leg has its own ETA and SAR window.
Pilots confirm departure and arrival. Ops acknowledges the flight. Pilots and ops maintain full situational awareness and peace of mind throughout.
Every action is timestamped and GPS-logged. Records are retained and exportable for regulatory review.
A reliable, cost-effective solution that will actually get used. Designed to solve a real problem without breaking the bank.
FlightWatch gives GA operators access to the same standard of SAR flight watch oversight that was previously only viable for large fleet operators.
Get In TouchFlightWatch mirrors how SAR flight watch actually works in a real Australian GA operation — without the whiteboards and group chats.
Ops staff or the pilot enters the route, ETD, ETA, passengers, and SAR window. The flight watch goes live immediately on the ops screen.
Pilot confirms departure. GPS tracking activates and the ETA countdown begins on the ops dashboard.
Position updates throughout the flight via phone GPS or paired device. Ops can see the aircraft progressing against the planned route in real time.
Pilot confirms arrival to close the watch. If overdue, alerts fire automatically and the full SAR record is preserved for handover.
Designed to support the flight watch obligations applicable to Australian charter operators. Every record is timestamped, GPS-logged, and exportable.
Remote strips, outback runs, marginal reception conditions — FlightWatch is designed for operators who do real flying in real Australian conditions.
High-frequency operations with varying routes and short turnarounds. Multi-leg support, passenger manifests, and per-leg SAR windows built in.
Single-pilot operations beyond radar coverage and mobile reception. Automated alerting means a missed SAR window triggers immediate action.
Track solo students and cross-country exercises fleet-wide. Full operational awareness without the ridiculous price tag.
FlightWatch is currently in active deployment with a Western Australian charter operator. If you're interested in deploying FlightWatch at your operation, get in touch and we'll be in contact shortly.
