Mobile App Guide

The AZSuite mobile app is the cockpit / kneeboard / shop-floor companion to the web platform. It runs on iOS and Android, and works offline — every screen that needs data syncs to local storage so you can use the app airborne or in a hangar Wi-Fi dead zone.

Setup

• Installing the app
• Login & sync
• Dashboard & tiles

In-cockpit (ADS-B)

These screens are the headline mobile features — they need a Stratux or Garmin GTX-345 on the same Wi-Fi to actually do anything, but they're useful for offline replay too.

• ADS-B receiver — raw frame inspector + diagnostic
• Radar scope — full-screen SVG scope with TCAS-style alerts
• FIS-B weather — METAR / TAF / PIREP / AIRMET / SIGMET / Winds
• NEXRAD overlay — precipitation cells on the radar
• Track recorder — auto-record GPS while flying

Pilot tools

• Pilot logbook (mobile)
• Flight log (mobile)
• Weight & balance (mobile)

Mechanic tools

• Scan Plus — camera capture with framing overlay
• Time clock — punch in / out at the aircraft

Cross-cutting

• Push notifications
• Offline behavior

What's mobile-only

Feature	Why mobile-only
ADS-B receiver / radar / FIS-B / NEXRAD	Requires UDP listener bound to the phone's Wi-Fi connection to your Stratux
Track recorder	Captures the live GDL90 ownship stream during flight
Scan Plus	Camera + framing overlay; faster than a desktop webcam
Time clock	Designed for at-the-aircraft punch in/out
Push notifications	Native to the device

What's web-only

Feature	Why web-only
Engine monitor data analysis	Heavy-duty charts perform better on a real screen
Quote/invoice generation	Customer-facing PDFs need careful layout
Aircraft history report	Multi-page PDF compose
Admin tools	Tenant-wide management
Bulk imports	CSV/PDF uploads with multi-step wizards

Most everything else has feature parity between web and mobile.

A note on background recording

iOS does not allow continuous UDP listening when an app is backgrounded — that's an Apple platform restriction, not an AZSuite limitation.

What this means in practice:

• The track recorder records flights only while the app is foregrounded (any tile open is fine — doesn't have to be the recorder screen)
• Screen-on while flying is the realistic scenario; mount the phone on a kneeboard and leave it on
• Background sync (logbook entries, inspections, etc.) does work briefly via iOS background fetch, but it's OS-throttled

Android has fewer restrictions; we may add a foreground-service mode in a future release for true lock-screen recording.
