smartCARS Community

More than just a flight tracker

Who is smartCARS Community for?

smartCARS Community is for virtual airlines and flying communities. It is a community-oriented version of smartCARS that can be provided at no cost to community members to track and report their flights. If you are an individual pilot looking to elevate your experience, check out smartCARS Pro.

Detailed flight tracking

Customizable for your community

Detailed flight tracking is the heart of smartCARS. Real-time flight event monitoring, location history, and detailed flight reports are generated with minimal effort from pilots.

Every pilot has access to their personal logbook to track their flights and view their statistics.

Streamlined flight planning

From bid to simBrief to flying, it's all in one place

With quick access to flight schedules, pilots can easily book and fly flights according to airline data and policies.

Integrated SimBrief support and route previews offer detailed flight planning capabilities without leaving smartCARS.

Your Community,

Your Experience

With complete control of smartCARS Community through smartCARS Central, you can customize application behavior to fit your exact needs. Whether it's enabling charter flights, changing booking rules, or more, you are in control.

If the built-in features aren't enough, smartCARS is fully extensible via plugins. You can install third-party plugins, or even create your own, to create the perfect experience for your pilots.
