FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What See The Bravo is, what it shows, what it costs, and what you need to run it on Apple Vision Pro.

The app

What is See The Bravo?

See The Bravo is a real-time aviation app for Apple Vision Pro. It shows live traffic, weather, airspace, NOTAMs and FAA approach procedures in 3D, over real terrain. Pilots, students and instructors use it for training, preflight briefings and debriefings, and to understand the airspace around them.

Which devices does it run on?

Apple Vision Pro, with visionOS 26.2 or later. For group lessons, flight schools can also use an iPad as the instructor's console.

When can I get it?

See The Bravo is coming soon to the App Store. Sign up for launch day to hear when it is out. The same form lets you ask for early access testing.

How much does it cost?

It is free to download. Basic and Pro are auto-renewing subscriptions that add features. Current prices and periods are shown in the app before you subscribe. Live traffic is free on every tier.

Where does it work?

Aviation data covers the United States: traffic, airports, airspace, charts, NOTAMs and weather.

What you can see

What traffic does it show?

Live aircraft across the United States and at thousands of airports. Each one is a detailed 3D model with lights, gear, flaps and engine sounds, with a tag showing its registration, altitude and distance. You can also search for an aircraft.

Do I need an ADS-B receiver?

No. With an internet connection, live traffic comes from the adsb.lol community network. A receiver is optional: Sentry, Stratus, Stratux and other GDL 90 devices connect over their own Wi-Fi and give you traffic, GPS position and attitude with no internet at all. Receiver traffic is free and unlimited.

What weather can I see?

Radar, lightning, METARs, TAFs, clouds, winds aloft, fronts, isobars, AIRMETs, SIGMETs and CWAs, icing, turbulence, freezing level, echo tops, convective outlooks, infrared satellite, smoke and PIREPs. Most are drawn in 3D over the terrain; the rest are on the flight bag's map. A time slider lets you look back through the last 12 hours.

Does it show airspace, TFRs and NOTAMs?

Yes. Controlled airspace, areas such as P-56 and the DC SFRA, and TFRs rise from the ground as 3D volumes with their real floors and ceilings. NOTAMs and TFRs come from the FAA.

Can I see instrument approaches?

Yes. Open the FAA approach plate in the flight bag and see the same approach drawn in 3D beside it, fix by fix, down to the runway. Runways light up with their published approach lighting systems.

Can I plan a route?

Yes. Plan a route in the flight bag and it appears as a line in the sky in the 3D view, joining the approach at your destination.

What else is in the 3D view?

Real terrain with satellite imagery and photorealistic 3D cities, and an accurate sky: the Sun, Moon, planets, stars and constellations in their real places for the time and place you are looking at.

How do I move around?

Use your hands. Hold out your fists and point where you want to go. The higher you are, the faster you fly.

Safety, data and privacy

Can I use it to fly?

No. See The Bravo is for training, briefing, debriefing and enjoyment on the ground. It is not a certified navigation or traffic system, and it must not be used to plan, conduct or make decisions for an actual flight. Use official FAA-approved sources for that. The details are in the Terms of Service.

Is it FAA certified?

No. It is for situational awareness, training and enjoyment, not flight operations.

Why does it need my location?

To fetch the aircraft, airspace, weather and map imagery around you. That means asking our servers and our map providers for data about the area you are in. We do not sell your location or use it for advertising. The details are in the Privacy Policy.

Does my voice leave the headset?

No. The voice assistant, part of the Basic subscription, is understood on the device with Apple Intelligence. Recordings are not sent to our servers.

Flight schools and help

Can flight schools use it?

Yes. Part 141 and Part 61 schools can guide groups of students through charts, airspace and procedures with an iPad as the instructor's console, or support individual study. The Terms of Service allow paid flight training and instruction, with each person on their own account. See aviation training or contact us.

Who makes See The Bravo?

DreamingWell LLC. It was founded by Travis Collins, a pilot and software developer who earned his private pilot certificate at Manassas Regional (KHEF) and trained for his instrument rating at Leesburg Executive (KJYO). More about us.
