Navigators program: fly with the new gear first
Applications are open. Navigators fly pre-release instruments, tell us what is wrong with them, and show the flying to everyone else.
The Navigators program is how our instruments meet real flying before they meet a price list. Navigators get hardware before release, talk to the engineers directly, and are expected to be blunt about what they find.
What a Navigator does
You fly the gear in your own aircraft through your own season, you report what breaks or annoys you, and you share the flying — on social media, on YouTube, or standing next to your glider on the flightline.
What we ask for
An active flying season, an audience of some kind, and the patience for pre-release software. We are not looking for the largest following — we are looking for pilots whose reports we can act on.
Applications for the 2027 season are open now.
Stories like this by email — firmware releases, new instruments and show dates, a few times a year.
