AR.FreeFlight

What if you could pilot a real drone from your phone without risking a crash?

AR.FreeFlight by Parrot SA transforms your Android device into a full-featured drone command center. This aviation simulator pairs with Parrot’s AR.Drone series to give you a live, first-person flight experience using your device’s screen as the cockpit. Whether you are a beginner learning controls or an advanced pilot testing maneuvers, this app provides real-time telemetry, stabilized flight modes, and direct video feedback from the drone’s onboard cameras.

Core flight and control features

The app connects over Wi-Fi to your Parrot drone, delivering a low-latency video stream directly to your Android screen. You can choose between two control layouts: a virtual joystick overlay for precise manual piloting or a tilt-based accelerometer mode where you steer by physically tilting your phone. The interface displays altitude, battery level, and GPS coordinates in real time, giving you full situational awareness without switching views.

• Live HD video feed from the drone’s front-facing camera streams directly to your phone.
• Dual control modes include joystick touch controls and device-tilt steering for varied piloting styles.
• Stabilized hover assist keeps the drone level automatically when you release the controls.

Key advantages for drone pilots

AR.FreeFlight supports both outdoor GPS flight and indoor visual positioning, adapting to your environment without manual configuration. The app logs flight data including duration, distance, and maximum altitude, which you can review after each session. A built-in emergency cut-off button instantly kills the motors if you lose orientation, preventing flyaways. The interface is optimized for Android 2.2.x and above, ensuring smooth performance even on older hardware.

• Emergency motor stop button immediately halts all rotors for instant safety.
• Flight log recording saves distance, time, and altitude stats for post-flight analysis.
• Indoor/outdoor mode switching automatically adjusts sensor fusion between GPS and optical flow.
