Masterpilots

Safety research and software, built by pilots.

We study the decisions pilots make at the edges of the envelope and build tools that help crews fly, rest and plan better.

Our work

Software that crews use on the line, and research that is open to read.

About Masterpilots

Masterpilots is a research and software company built around aviation safety, with a simple idea: problems that pilots see on the line deserve data-driven engineering answers.

We think safety work should start where the risk is: in the cockpit, on a normal day, with the numbers the crew actually has. So we take the problems pilots run into on the line, develop engineering solutions that stand on the physics and the data, test them against real flights, and turn them into tools crews can use on the next leg.
