Ramp control · General aviation

Track it in.
Park it right.
Live.

RAMP·CTRL follows every inbound on live ADS-B, advances its status hands-free, and puts the whole field — parking, schedules, weather, crew comms — on every device at once, in under a second. And it keeps working when the wifi doesn't.

Live flight tracking

Every inbound, on the scope.

A live board of what's coming to your field — flight, tail, type, altitude, speed, and time out, straight from ADS-B and FlightAware. Aircraft are colored by altitude and trail their flown track. Rows already on your ramp roster are marked. Pick any row.

Shared ramp state

Drag a jet.
Watch the crew's iPad follow.

Every placement, status, and schedule change reaches every other device in under a second — conflict-checked, undoable, and snapshot-backed. Grab a tail number and drop it on a spot.

crew iPad — line service synced

⚠ CLEARANCE — wingtip separation violated

Park two jets too close and both flag red — the same clearance engine that guards a real ramp. Try it.

Aircraft intelligence

Tap a tail. Know the airplane.

The complete FAA registration database rides on-board, so a lookup is instant even on bad wifi — then owner, recent flights, and a photo fill in from live sources. Pick a tail number.

Four independent sources answer in parallel — the on-board registry, the live FAA record, flight history, and photography. Any one being unavailable never blanks the others.

Weather

The ramp call and the radar, one screen.

Animated radar, the next twelve hours, and decoded METAR/TAF — with the flight category computed from visibility and ceiling, and automatic alerts the moment conditions turn.

Status automation

Statuses that advance themselves.

Live position and speed drive each aircraft through its whole day, with tuned dead-bands so GPS jitter never flaps a status. A locked aircraft is never touched.

Where it earns its keep

Built for the surge.
Lives on the day-to-day.

The same product handles the hardest day of your year and the quietest Tuesday — because the features that survive an event are exactly the ones that make routine operations calmer.

Event operations

Two hundred arrivals, one weekend.

Air shows, tournaments, championship weekends, fly-ins — when a season's traffic lands in seventy-two hours and the ramp fills faster than a whiteboard can track it.

  • Import the trip sheet and the whole event roster is on every device — no retyping, no version confusion
  • Auto-park the surge in one tap, wingtip clearance enforced on every placement
  • Every marshaller sees the same plan — a change on the tower iPad is on the ramp iPad before anyone can radio it
  • Temporary crew scale freely — unlimited devices, and new operators are added or revoked in seconds
  • Snapshot restore when someone clears the board mid-event — the one recovery that matters when there's no time to rebuild
  • Survives the wifi that always fails when the field is full

Daily FBO operations

Six aircraft and a quiet Tuesday.

The everyday ramp: overnight parking, a mid-morning turn, a crew that needs calling, and a line service team that shouldn't have to ask where anything is.

  • Statuses advance themselves from live ADS-B — the board is current without anyone maintaining it
  • Know what's coming before it calls in — the inbound board runs all day
  • Call the crew in one tap — templated voice or SMS from your business number
  • Overnight parking stays straight — spots closed for maintenance, locked aircraft held in place
  • Weather alerts find you when conditions turn, instead of you checking
  • Shift handoff is nothing — the next person opens the same live picture

Capabilities

Everything a ramp runs on.

Built operator-first — shaped around the questions a ramp asks all day, and around the failures it cannot afford.

Calibrated ramp map

  • Your own aerial, calibrated to real-world feet
  • Parking zones traced as free-form polygons — any shape, any angle
  • Per-zone spacing, exit axis, capacity, fill order, nose direction
  • Exclusion zones for poles, staging, and equipment
  • One-tap Auto-park packs the whole roster

Wingtip protection

  • Continuous clearance checking on every render
  • Footprint overlap and center-to-center separation
  • Violations flag red on the map and in Alerts
  • Close a spot out of service with a long press
  • Lock holds position and heading against every automated path

Live flight tracking

  • Inbound board for any airport — tail, type, times, progress
  • Actual flown tracks drawn over real map tiles
  • Automatic status advancement from live ADS-B
  • Schedule revisions flag red until acknowledged
  • Daily usage caps and a kill switch on every feed

Works when wifi doesn't

  • Installs to the home screen like a native app
  • Launches instantly from disk — survives dead airport wifi
  • Edits queue and sync when the network returns
  • Phone and tablet layouts from one product

Disaster-proof state

  • Server-side snapshot history with one-tap restore
  • Full undo/redo on every device
  • Conflict-safe writes — no silent loss, ever
  • Destructive actions checkpointed first and audit-logged

Aircraft intelligence

  • All 316,000 FAA-registered aircraft on-board
  • Owner, make/model/year, wingspan, recent flights, photo
  • Four independent sources, each failing gracefully

Crew communications

  • Automated voice calls — written to be heard, spoken twice
  • SMS from the same business number
  • Templates with live tail / spot / ETA substitution
  • Push notifications by category, per device

Trip sheets in

  • Excel and CSV import that works offline
  • Timezone-correct parsing that rejects bad values

  • Admin console, view-only roles, instant device revocation
  • Every action attributed to a person in the audit log
  • Adversarial auth suites gate every deployment
