Hear what's coming before it reaches your crossing.
A listen-only box and phone app for airfield flaggers and escorts. It's designed to track nearby aircraft and name them the way crews do, by airline and taxiway, so your crew looks up at the right moment.
- Receive-only box
- Never says "clear"
- Location stays on your phone
- Backs up your radio
One box for the whole job. One plain alert on every phone.
It's designed to back up your radio and your eyes, never to replace them.
-
Step 1
One box covers the crossings in its range
Put it wherever works for you, in a work truck or at a fixed spot. It only listens and never transmits.
-
Step 2
Phones are designed to speak one plain alert
Airline, taxiway, about how long. A whole line of aircraft is one alert, not eight.
-
Step 3
Supervisors see the whole job
Crossings, staffed posts and box health on one dashboard.
Pick a role. Tap around.
A working mockup of the screens we're designing, with sample data. Each role opens to the screen it needs first, designed for a four-second glance.

Flaggers see the alert first.
You hold one end of a crossing. The alert names what is moving toward it, by airline and taxiway, with about how long until it gets there.
Escorts see the map first.
You drive between crossings. Your phone’s GPS picks the crossing near you, and the alert rides along on top of the live map.
Leads see every post at a glance.
Open posts come first, with the empty end marked. One card per crossing shows who is on each end right now. No history, no hours.

I'm Dylan. I work airside, at the crossings.
Airside Crew is the tool I want on my own crossing. If you run flaggers or escorts, I'd like to hear how your crews work today.
