Bring iPad, Android, or a laptop
Install Fly Overhead as a web app on iPad and iPhone, use the Android app, or plan in a desktop browser with the same account and product.
§ 01 / The decision
Choose the workflow, not the logo.
ForeFlight is a mature, capable EFB with deep Apple-device and avionics workflows. For many pilots, that is exactly the right answer. Fly Overhead is for pilots whose priorities are different: use the devices already in the flight bag, keep the subscription flexible, and reduce the work between raw aviation data and a brief you can verify.
The meaningful question is not whether one app has more boxes checked. It is whether the app fits your aircraft, your devices, your kind of flying, and the way you make decisions as PIC.
AI drafts; the pilot verifies
RightSeat organizes route weather, terrain, NOTAMs, TFRs, and aircraft context into a structured draft. Source data stays visible and you remain PIC.
Talk through the flight once
Record a ramp-side debrief and turn it into a structured logbook draft, including what went well, what needs work, and the details worth retaining.
Fly Overhead vs. ForeFlight
This is a fit comparison, not a claim that one EFB is best for every pilot.

What switching can look like
You do not need to rebuild every habit on day one. Start with one complete flight loop.
- 01 · Plan
Build the route
Review FAA charts, terrain, winds, weather, TFRs, and NOTAMs against your aircraft and intended altitude.
- 02 · Brief
Interrogate the draft
Use RightSeat to organize the route picture, then challenge it against the raw reports and official sources.
- 03 · Fly
Keep the chart primary
Use the moving chart, cached data, and traffic as advisory situational-awareness tools.
- 04 · Learn
Debrief while it is fresh
Capture a voice memo at shutdown and review the structured logbook draft before saving or exporting it.
§ 04 / Pilot trust
A respectful alternative, with a clear boundary
Fly Overhead is an advisory aid, not an FAA-approved substitute for required equipment, official briefings, current publications, or pilot judgment. RightSeat does not make go/no-go decisions and should never be treated as an authority.
That boundary is part of the product design: AI output is a draft, aviation source data remains available for inspection, and the pilot is expected to verify what matters before acting.

Is Fly Overhead a full replacement for ForeFlight?
It depends on your workflow. Fly Overhead covers GA chart, weather, traffic, briefing, and logbook workflows, but ForeFlight has a larger mature ecosystem and integrations. Compare the capabilities you actually use before switching.
Does Fly Overhead work on Android?
Yes. Fly Overhead is available on Android and also works as an installable web app across modern browsers and Apple devices.
Can I export my logbook?
Yes. Fly Overhead supports logbook export so your records are not trapped in the product.
Does AI replace an official weather briefing?
No. RightSeat helps organize a draft from aviation data. It does not replace official sources, required briefings, or pilot judgment.
