## Description

Surface Ops is a free situational-awareness tool for anyone interested in airport surface operations — pilots, students, ramp staff, plane spotters, and the general public — with optional licensed features for professional airport ground-operations teams.

Free for everyone, at every US airport:
• Airport diagrams (runways, taxiways, aprons, hotspots)
• GPS-based ownship position on the airport surface
• METAR, TAF, and D-ATIS weather
• Live ADS-B traffic from a uAvionix skyAlert receiver (a separately-purchased consumer accessory)
• Runway-incursion alerts: CHECK RUNWAY, TRAFFIC RUNWAY, CHECK FINAL, TRAFFIC FINAL and Aircraft Emergency Alerts
• Visual highlighting of the runway under alert
• Offline operation once an airport diagram is cached (weather requires internet)

Optional licensed feature, at participating airports:
Airports that contract with uAvionix for the professional toolset can issue a one-time activation code to their authorized vehicle operators, which adds the FlightLine ADS-B network traffic feed from the airport's ground-based receivers, no per-vehicle hardware required.

No in-app purchase. The app and all consumer-facing features are free. Licensed airports pay uAvionix directly; the end-user operator never pays anything inside the app.

What Surface Ops is NOT:
• Not a certified safety system
• Not a substitute for ATC instructions or established ground-movement procedures
• Not a primary means of collision avoidance — visual scanning and radio communication remain primary

Privacy
Surface Ops collects only what's needed to operate: your activation code, a per-device licensing identifier, and—with your permission—your GPS location to display your position on the airport map. Location data stays on the device; we do not transmit it to our servers. No analytics, no advertising SDKs, no tracking.

Terms
Use of this app is subject to the Apple Standard End User License Agreement (EULA):
