Conditions change with the rain, the herds, the grader. The info is already out there. Buried in chat threads from last week. In WhatsApp groups visitors don't know about. SkyTribe pulls it onto one map. Searchable by airport. Current at a glance.
My father left behind a Cessna 182. I was building an aircraft scheduler for renting out our aircraft, and ended up running the idea past a family friend who is also a pilot. He mentioned there was a bigger problem worth fixing first.
What he described was the same thing every pilot has run into. You plan a flight into a rural strip, and the same questions come up. Is it still landable? Any obstacles on approach? Anyone there if you need fuel? Someone always knows. It's just buried in a WhatsApp group chat, so people re-ask the questions.
I'm building SkyTribe to solve a genuine problem faced by the pilots who want to land on these airstrips. When you want to fly to a particular strip, the latest information should be easily accessible and maintained by the community.
