What is Volandoo Groups?

Volandoo Groups is built for flight schools, XC instructors, and tour organisers. As a group admin, you can create a dedicated map just for your pilots and drivers:

  • Private or public maps: Public groups can be discovered and followed by anyone. Private groups stay hidden—only people with the link can access them.
  • Clean view: Only your pilots and drivers are visible on the map, never the entire Volandoo community.
  • Drivers included: Drivers join the group with the same app (car icon on the map). Pilots can always see where the driver is, and drivers receive landing notifications and one-tap navigation to pickups.

Why it matters

As more pilots use Volandoo, the public map will naturally get crowded. For an XC group, a cluttered view of unrelated pilots can be confusing. Groups solve this: you get a focused map showing only the people that matter to your course or tour.

How schools and instructors use it

  • XC Tours – Bring visiting pilots to your region, keep them safe on long flights, and ensure your drivers can retrieve them quickly.
  • XC Courses – Teach students how to fly further. Review flights together at day’s end with clear statistics and tracklogs.
  • Flight Schools – Even small groups (three pilots and one driver) benefit from having everyone in one reliable system.

The problem today

Most groups juggle multiple tracking apps and hacks: WhatsApp shares, Flyskyhy, LiveTrack24, Airtribune, and others. Drivers end up switching between different websites on their phones—while driving—to follow everyone. It’s messy, unreliable, and sometimes unsafe.

The Volandoo solution

With Volandoo Groups, everyone uses the same lightweight app:

  • iOS and Android, simple to use
  • Extremely reliable with low battery consumption
  • Pilots tracked automatically, flights saved in their logbooks
  • Drivers always visible, with instant notifications when pilots land

An all-in-one system. No switching, no guessing, no stress. Just safe, organised, and professional flight days.
